hello america!!! just like he did when his 'dream act' failed to pass the senate, obama will do the same for the senate 'gun vote'---he will blame the repubs. 5 dems voted against the dream act then & 4 dems voted against the 'gun bill' today. both bills needed 60 votes to pass &, in reality, both bills failed because of the dems that voted 'nay', not the repubs...didn't know that did you?????????
before the blame game starts, the dems control 55 out 100 seats in the senate. had senate majority leader harry reid been able to keep his own party together &, had he voted 'yea', the dems would have only needed 1 vote from the repubs for the bills passage---instead, they got 4 repubs to vote 'yea' & 4 dems voted 'nay'. the bill failed 54-46.
the gun control issue was a joke from the beginning. yes, even i can see banning 'assault type' weapons however, they can be purchased illegally so, banning them & requiring background checks won't have any effect on those using them to do harm.
instead of obama running his mouth about the vote, he should be spending his time trying to come up with a workable plan to get guns out of the hands of the criminals & gangs.
&, you should laugh at that 7 bullets per magazine crap. can't you imagine the bad guys only loading 7 bullets in a 30 round magazine just to be playing by the rules? &, if they did comply with that BS, what's to prevent them from having several 7 round magazines on hand? hell, a 6 shot revolver kills & maims people too.
it's a sad day when our senate can spend all this time on 'gun control' & not be able to offer anything to us that will actually help keep us safer &, for that, i blame obama. afterall, he's supposed to be the 'so-called leader'...where's his 'gun control' blueprint?
by the way, does anybody know how many deaths could be prevented by requiring back ground checks???
