I just got word that the Senate voted today to defeat Pres. Obama's gun control bill that would have expanded background checks to include gun shows. Does that put a smile on those chapped lips of yours? It made my day.

99explorer, I hate to give them bastards an inch with background checks at gun shows. It may be the best deal we can get.
I thank God everyday that no more semi auto firearm school shootings and the killing of children has not happen since Newtown, Connecticut.
We could have lost everything that the stinking democrap Senator Diane Feinstein wanted to ban with her insane gun bill she drafted.

Proponents of the bill conceded that attempts to ban assault-style rifles and high-capacity magazines are also doomed to certain defeat.
Diane Feinstein and Chuck Schumer must be devastated, but they can bring the measure up for a another vote at some future date, (far off in the future, I hope).

I hate to be a party pooper, but look at THIS angle!
According to Sean Hannity, the vote in the Senate was 54 against and 46 for.
Here's the "spooky" (scary!?) part. That's a mere four (4!) votes from a tie! Who decides "ties" in the Senate. That's right! VEEP Biden!
As far as I'm concerned, 54/46 is WAY too close!!!
Don't stop calling and writing! You know darn well the "grabbers" won't quit!

Actually, the vote was 54 for the bill and 46 against, but the proponents need sixty for the bill.
Four Republicans joined the Obama team to vote for the bill, but that was offset by four Democrats who defected and voted to defeat the bill. Those Democrats were from red states with big gun-owning populations (Alaska, North Dakota, Montana and Arkansas).

I have never seen so many long faces using children and parents as pawns as backdrops again in my life. Biden looked like he just lost his best friend and I have never seen a more disgusted look on Obama's face as he looked at this evening's news conference while doing a group hug with some of the parents of Newtown. He said that the Senators who voted against the bill were not in tune with the nation and everyone was to call and remember them at the next election. I am sure that the people of WV will probably remember Manchin in the next election. There isn't a more pro-gun state than WV. He may find that out. I think his A rating from the NRA just went out the window after all of the bad things he said about them today.
