Dianne has worked so hard on this,” Reid said, referring to the ban’s sponsor, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.). “She understands going back to the day she found the mayor dead in his office. I know that, but right now her amendment, using the most optimistic numbers, has less than 40 votes. That’s not 60. I have to get something on the floor so we can have votes on that issue and the other issues.

Looks like Obummler can't use the GOP as a scapegoat when he can't even get his own party to fully support this AWB nonsense.

People forget that many democrats like guns to.  Guns is a civil rights issue, not a party issue.

Yet, that doesn't stop may of them from voting into office elitist pricks that work against that very right they seem to enjoy. Hence, why I refer to Democrats, on the gun issue, as useful idiots.

    Boo hoo.  I am so very sad to hear this

I believe the people are voting with their wallets. In other  words, I believe that all the sales of AR-15's and high capacity magazines and the corresponding swelling of the NRA ranks has some influence on some of the more insecure Democrats.

It is thought that even though Harry Reid is a co-sponsor of the AWB he is now under such pressure from his constituency that he himself won't vote for this bill for this reason. Let's face it, he represents the state of Nevada. One of the most gun friendly states in the U.S.

Cutting off his nose to spite his face?

They can still hide some of it in an amendment somewhere so we need to keep a close eye on these traitors

Now, it's the universal background check bill that we have to watch out for.

Reportedly, that one's not going to the floor, either.  Breitbart quoted unnamed Democratic insiders who said that one's a no-go, as well.  If true, that would leave the magazine ban as the remaining bad apple that I know of.  (Which doesn't really matter, if they ban 'em, we can just print more!)

that's a house bill, am i right?


that has no chance of passing, if so.

I don't why Diane "Demon Face" Feinstein even bothered to bring up this AWB nonsense. It was a long shot in the Senate and there's no way they were going to get more than 217 votes in the House.

Speaking of that witch, has anyone else seen this picture of her holding up an AK with a mag inserted and a finger on the trigger while sweeping the audience with the muzzle during one of the senate hearings? Talk about clueless.

Mucho apologies for posting her image this late, I hope you guys can still get some sleep tonight.

Exactly! That's why I always caution folks about alienating supporters from the other side of the aisle with generalized political vitriol.

Still, it's not a time to celebrate because having items added as amendments is much easier to slip through.

safety off too.

i am still really worried that this will happen with SB69 here in HI

I'm also concerned that stuff is added back to the new draft too.  This is one of the myriad reasons I am in opposition.  I testify on the other reasons, as I realize it may not be useful to submit testimony saying I am in opposition because something might be subsequently tacked on in the process.  I see Bob McDermott voted nay at the JUD hearing, as he did in the PBS hearing on the 15th.  I will remember Rep McDermott voting no on this bill.  I don't have to remember how Rhoads and others voted- I already knew how that would go.
I'm keeping an eye out for the pending FIN hearing notice, and will try to be at that one too.
