Obama on Senate gun vote: 'A shameful day'

[the artist known az]

I know that if Obama could have cussed the Senate out on camera, he would have. Come election time, I hope they have commercials against all the people who voted nay (both parties). Huffington Post has the pics of all the people who voted nay and who voted for background checks

maybe they can crank out some mental health laws to get you medicated as wel

only an absolute dummy would think including an extended background check in the same bill that bans scary looking guns is a good idea. you clearly dont even understand what this is about.

then they throw some sobby father on tv to tug on your heart strings and make you feel bad about guns n stuff. and people like you eat it up and then blame republicans.

Another bill that most of the people want gets 51+ votes but gets blocked because it doesn't have a 60 vote filibuster-proof majority. Story of the last 4 years.

Who are "most" of these people that you speak of?

Bottomline, this bill was trash and does nothing to stop a sandy hook like tragedy.... thank God it got thrown in the bushes

they were separate amendments

The vote on the so-called Manchin-Toomey amendment was 54 in favor, 46 against — failing to reach the 60-vote threshold needed to move ahead. Four Republicans supported it, and four Democrats voted no.

A controversial Democratic plan to ban dozens of military-style assault weapons was also defeated by a vote of 40 to 60.

whats weird to me is that the Sandy Hook situation wouldn't have been effected by this legislation. Lanza's mother was an upstanding citizen, no?

But we already have background checks when purchasing firearms

Sandy Hook tragedies aren't the only way people die from guns goofball.

It was stupid to bundle the assault weapon bans with the background checks but that doesnt make the background checks a bad idea. Look how easy it is for anyone, including felons and fugitives to buy guns online

You dont think thats worth dealing with through legislation?

Dont be one of those kneejerk reactionary right wingers, Im so fukking tired of them and their lack of critical thinking skills, I thought you were smarter than that.

 

[dtownreppin214]

most worthless pathetic congress in history. next two years is going to be more of the same.

 

[you're NOT "n!ggas"]

its a fukking shame how GUNS have more protection than minorities and women in this country ever had

 

[Deflatedhoopdreams]

They did the right thing.
