Senate rejects Universal Background Checks

[fskimospy]

So Republicans ran on a platform of losing the presidency and assuming Obama would win?

If the people wanted Obama stopped as completely as you claim they would've elected Romney.

Don't forget that they lost the House popular vote too. They only kept a majority due to some eccentricities in our electoral system.

I wonder if spidey paid up on all the bets he racked up saying Obama would lose?

Republicans ran on a platform of stopping obama, anyway they could. They were elected to do so.

They are doing what they said they would do if elected. What's so hard to understand? Any republican voting for any gun control is going to have a very hard time come election/primary time. Same for any democrat that votes for it. It's a losing issue.

Then why did Obama win re-election?

(not in any way a fan of most republicans and begrudgingly registered as a republican...and don't get me started on the religious right.)

Obama won re-election for the same reason Bush did. The American people are complete retards.

Only dealers are required to run a background check. How does the government know when a private citizen transfers a firearm to another person? They Dont. You have a right to bear arms, so why is a background check even needed?

That is the best explanation for many things, not just who won what election.

 

[piasabird]

Use a background check for Voting!

Republicans ran on a platform of stopping Obama. The People voted them in to accomplish that job. Happily that is what they are doing.

They ran on a platform of stopping Obama and lost seats in both chambers of Congress and the Presidency. Sounds like the American people want Obama's agenda and want the Republicans to stop hindering what We The People are asking for. And by "sounds like" I mean "the absolute and undeniable truth is".

obamas agenda is disastrous for America. It's nice to see where your priorities are and you would rather obama the piece of shit be in charge than fix the country.

I want grownups in office and a bunch of yahoos who refuse to act like grownups and actually be a part of the governing process don't cut it for me.

Going against the Constitution and the 2nd amendments are the acts of children who want to "govern" based on emotion instead of logic and fact. The grown ups in the senate told the emotional children - NO!

The Republicans did not lose enough to state that Obama could run roughshod over Congress or that Congress should rubberstamp.

America kept a setup of checks and balances.
They want Obama under the microscope now for decisions.

The Senate on both sides listened and responded to they people who they represent, not to political pills taken during emotional times and not to the President that apparently was out if touch.

Is the President out of touch on other issues? I am sure that people will be upset the more he ignores tbe constitution.

They can not punish him, but have the ability to block his goals via Congress.

You mean the former constitutional lawyer who basically said that the SCOTUS couldn't overturn a law because Congress passed it?

Uhhhh....

I want people who obey the Constitution and respect liberty in office but because of idiotic liberals this isn't going to happen.

+1, you even want to ask for ID and the hypocritical liberals will start screaming and crying. They rely on voter fraud.

You mean voter fraud that is essentially non existent in this country? You guys love phantom enemies! "Liberals" don't exist in the US either, and the dems are to the right of the conservative party in every other 1st world country.. so you are fighting 2 phantoms right there. Your masters have told you exactly what to think and you lap it right up!

Yep, Just a bunch of hypocrites. They don't want ID because they want illegals to vote.

 

[piasabird]

How do you know computers dont fix the elections?

Answer: You dont!

The senators that voted for gun control represent a 62% population of this country. The out of touch group is the GOP.

You are without a doubt the most idiotic poster on AT and possibly the internet. I will support most if not all agendas you oppose. You have never said a single thing that would be considered a good idea.

Evidence?

Wow, wife-basher, are you still on here having a cry about the election?

Don't you have some abortion clinic to bomb?

Statistically, shooting sprees are virtually non-existent as well.

I heard a disgusting commercial on the radio this morning. It was a menacing sounding PSA, where they claimed that MN legislators were being negligent by not closing the gun show loophole which allowed an insane woman to go to a gun show, buy a gun, and kill the man she was stalking.

First, for the last damn time, there is no gun show loophole. Unless you can figure out a way to physically prevent one private citizen from transferring an inanimate object to another private citizen in the privacy of their own homes, then you cannot close the private sale "loophole."

Second, the ad admitted that this woman was a stalker. She was intent on killing her victim. This wasn't even a crime of passion, which one could at least argue would be less effective without a convenient weapon. She clearly planned to kill her victim. If she hadn't purchased a gun, she would have found another way to do it.

Gun grabbers are such disgusting, disingenuous sacks of shit.

Forget about Acorn already?

You're an idiot if you don't think it happens.

You don't know the difference between voter fraud and voter registration fraud do you?
