Senate Democrats continue to attempt to craft common sense firearms legislation, designed to keep guns out of the hands of people forbidden to have them, outlaw military weapons that have no valid sporting use, and outlaw huge clips without interfering with the responsible use of firearms.  The Republican Party continues to be part of the problem.  They need a NOs job.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"15GOPGuns\"Three months after the Newtown, Conn., school massacre, the Senate Judiciary Committee has finally produced three major bills<\/a> that could each make a significant difference in lowering the number and firepower of guns on the street and keeping them out of the wrong hands. But they have a deeply uncertain future as they head to the Senate floor, underscored by the utterly partisan split in the committee votes. <\/p>\n

A bill to ban assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines: 10 Democrats voted yes, eight Republicans voted no<\/strong>. A bill to require background checks on buyers in all gun sales, including from private sellers: 10 Democrats voted yes, eight Republicans voted no<\/strong>. A bill to stop illegal trafficking of firearms: 10 Democrats and one Republican voted yes, seven Republicans voted no<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Many Republicans claim to share the national concern over unabated violence, but, as the committee hearings showed, whenever there is an opportunity to do something about it, they find a way to object\u2026 [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

On a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high, Ted Cruz is a condescending asshole. All of the rights in the Bill of Rights are subject to exception, when the abuse of those rights, directly interferes with the rights of another.<\/font><\/p>\n

I have to ask one thing. What possible need did the shooter’s mother have for an AR-15 Bushmaster and several 30 round banana clips? While I am sensitive to her loss and her pain, why shouldn’t she be responsible for failing to secure that weapon to keep it out of the hands of her dangerous son? In addition, the Republican Party needs to take responsibility for blocking the renewal of the law that would have kept that weapon out of the hands of the shooter. Instead, they have refused to cast even one vote on support of two these three needed measures, and only one in support of the third.  Again, they need a NOs job.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
