I think that’s probably a bit too optimistic. I would be surprised if something very similar to this doesn’t make it to the floor for a House vote. It’s probably less likely it passes because there are quite a few House Dems in tenuous positions. But, in the House, the Speaker has a considerable amount of influence in getting bills to the floor.
If it should pass the House, they probably can’t get 60 votes in the Senate. And/But, they did get 57 votes to convict, so they’re probably closer than anyone on our side would like to admit. IOW, I wouldn’t bet the farm on Collins, Romney and Sasse helping to stop this bill.
The Dems proved with Obamacare that they will spend political capital to get long term policies and laws enacted. Would they blow their majority to destroy the 2nd Amendment? Sure they would.
Dealing with democrats is like living without toilet paper.
Post Walter’s pic again, please. For some reason it did not show in your post.
You will note that Walter bears a STRICKING RESEMBLENCE to Sloe Joe!
According to the Democrats the whole constitution is merely a suggestion.
“If it should pass the House, they probably can’t get 60 votes in the Senate.”
The Dems have said they will do away with the Senate filibuster, and all bills will only require a majority vote to pass in the Senate.
This is about as dumb as raising taxes during the Great Depression....I don’t care what they do, I’m not complying to illegal and unconstitutional laws.
Appropriately named after a foreigner from Pakistan.
But don’t they need 60 votes to do away with the filibuster?
2A bump for later....
we do not know what it’s like to lose our freedoms and our comfortable life. it’s backwards. but if all those thousands still had their jobs.. and all the rest that takes our comfort had not happened.. wed be okay.
but take a man’s job so he can’t pay for food and watch him react. . it seems to me we REACT we don’t stop the storm... we don’t pounce..we tend to disbelieve.until its in our lap and our family is in need.
this year help was available and we watched as they destroyed lives by burning and is no more
Keep the schools closed and you won’t need gun control. Problem solved!“
I wonder how possibly multiple years of decreased indoctrination (closed schools) could result in more creative independent and civil children.
We’ll have to see what happens when the time comes, but Manchin and Sinema (in particular) have said that the filibuster isn’t going anywhere. Sinema’s people didn’t equivocate saying that she wouldn’t even entertain arguments to end the filibuster.
Remember exactly WHO runs the Police Department in Washington, DC or any of the other Big (Third World) Cities. It’s sure as HELL not Oathkeepers.
It would be nice for the Supreme Court to codify that since some Bolshevik states will slap a felony on you for carrying with the wrong state permit.
We might have better luck with Diana Ross and her gals. Oh, Mary Wilson just passed so........... The Supremes...
and a wall...which we were told did not stop people.
I would NEVER bet a dime on that one...
