I'm watching the Senators mill around smiling and making small talk on C-Span while they vote down anything that might save lives. Bunch of cold-hearted cynical idiots.

It gave the authorities 72 hours to prove their case against a suspected terrorist---that's just not realistic.

Gun law changes are never going to happen, that's my conclusion. Let Americans enjoy all the violence and death.

They blame the NRA because all Republicans are bought and paid for by the NRA. They care more about the NRA than they do about Americans.

Unilaterally allowing a bureaucracy to strip someone of their rights is not realistic. Both of these amendments would have faced an uphill battle in the courts.

Yep. Just a way for each side to score partisan points.

Banning gun sales to those on "no-fly" list - motion defeated.

So they can't fly on the nation's airlines, but they can go and buy an assault rifle. Great thinking.

We had the chance here to help prevent guns from getting into the hands of potential terrorists on the terrorists watch list. The keyword in that sentence is potential hence the reason they would have justified it in court of law. The Democrats have failed you.
