Assault Weapons Ban Lacks Democratic Votes to Pass Senate

[10ring]

While I plan to stay vigilant, I think this thing is DOA. If it can't get through the senate, I don't think there is anyway it makes it through the house.

Oh and the irony of this being on Bloomberg is great.

I do not trust any of these b@@@@@s any further than I can throw them...regardless of what letter they hang after their name.

It is not over till it is over. I think we all need to watch what happens and make our views known.

Has her bill actually been introduced yet, or are they holding out? Forgive me but I've not seen the news today.

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

If you haven't written or called, call and/or write your congressman. Some may be skeptical or hesitant of the bill in its current form, but all it may take is a few throw-away items "compromised" on and all of a sudden, this thing might become a "common sense solution".

Dupe... sorry

 

[K_W]

Yes, it has been introduced, and is in committee

A bill to regulate assault weapons, to ensure that the right to keep and bear arms is not unlimited, and for other purposes. (S. 150) - GovTrack.us

After it leaves committee... which it will likely not, but still could.

That is what was thought on Obamacare too.

Yes, we should not relax one bit..

quoting Han Solo: don't get cocky, kid.

this is a long way from being over.

Do NOT Trust these "Reports"!!

IMO, I do NOT trust these SOB's any farther than I could throw them!
Stay on our Senators-Both-As many times as you can..Bill.

 

[Bennettjh]

I keep pumping out letters. I will NOT relax until the threat is gone. I urge everyone to keep the pressure on.

When the Dems last controlled both the Senate and House, in 1994, they passed gun legislation. They have regretted doing so ever since. The landslide GOP victories in the November 1994 election were fueled in no small part by the public's displeasure with the AWB and mag restrictions.

Now it's 2013. The Dems control the Senate and we control the House. The Dem Senators know full well what happened the last time the body supported gun legislation. The moderate Dem Senators have already made clear that they want NO PART of gun legislation. Feinstein's nonsense HAS NO CHANCE of passing the Senate. It will NEVER emerge from committee.

In the House? Absolutely forget about it. It will never even make it to the floor. Never. It can't happen.

The media is whipping a lot of the uneducated into a frenzy right now because it makes money for them to do so. Relax! There will be no gun bans, taxes, registrations, etc. The political posturing in DC right now is just that. Everyone is playing to their base. Firming up their support. That's all. None of it is real. The landscape in 2013 is so much different than it was in 1994. You have nothing to fear but ignorance.

Lol did I say it was over? I don't think so.

I can not agree with this ^^^..

We do NOT stop until the "Threat has been ELEMINATED"!

Just as we train..Bill.

My predictions (and anyone feel free to go back to my previous posts and confirm):

1) No AWB will pass.
2) Proponents of said AWB will then drop the AWB and focus on magazine capacity limits and expanded background checks.
3) Neither has much chance of getting out of the Senate, let alone the house, but expanded background checks would be the more likely of the two.
4) The House shuts it down.

We don't live in a tyranny. Elected officials remember there are consequences for their choices, and 1994 is still heavy in swing state Democrat's minds. Of course the ultra-liberals from the coasts will push this stuff, its appealing to their base.

Even Harry Reid, the current Senate Majority Limit, voted AGAINST extending the AWB in 2004. He remembers.

Any Republican knows he'll never win another primary if he votes for gun control. He would completely isolate his base and couldn't win a county dog catcher seat in the next elections.

Just because they say that they're not down the hallway doesn't mean that I cannot still hear the footsteps just beyond the door.

I can't believe anything that is said in the biased opinion, so I will not rush to my panic room yet and I will not relax on my lazy-boy. I remain still in the wake of their words yet remain vigilant in the preservation of my family.

Frankenfeinstein's bill is only one of several that are now or have been reported to be introduced in the two houses of Congress. Her Majesty McCarthy the Unknowing, has a Magazine bill in the House. I know there are more, but they have received very little attention by the press. The fact that the AWB is one huge chomp and is what everyone is focused on doesn't mean that little bites won't be attempted to nibble away from other directions.

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.

Don't let up! The fight has just begun.

I'm confused? You can't agree with what? I said I don't think it's over and plan to remain vigilant. Did you read something else?
