I beg to differ.  Visit a W@lMart at 3 or 4 AM.  They're already here.

As our focus was turned to other things, Harry Reid held a vote on the extended background checks for firearms.  Reid himself voted against it.

The final vote was, 54-46.

Reid is chimerical in a lot of ways....he also is the one who pushed hard - arguably the main architect - to make it legal to conceal carry in national parks.

As usual, there was little leadership on this issue.  Even though it was completely unrelated to providing a stop-gap for the recent tragedies, I don't know of many who actually oppose it.

There was a narrow margin in the Senate that could have been bridged through executive involvement, but rather than collaborate, again the president chose to pontificate.  He took this campaign to the people (who mostly already agree) rather than focusing on the hearts and minds in congress. He really needs to switch off campaign mode if that is at all possible.  His chain of failure will continue to lengthen if he does not.

Or maybe reality struck and they realized that no part of this bill would actually address any part of what was claimed as the stated problem....

I think they all understand that.  This bill was for President 0bama, nothing more. That's why it would have been valuable for him to engage the senators, compromise, and work to pass it instead of pontificating to the people and chastising those who made it fail.

When a 7 year old wants a pony for her birthday, she tells the world. When she does not get a pony she throws a fit.  When an adult wants a pony she goes to the pony farm with her checkbook and negotiates to purchase a pony.

As of 33 minutes ago, Senator Reid pulled the gun bill from further debate or consideration.

Jamie Dupree just tweeted this:

Reid offically pulls the senate gun bill.

Reid vows to go back to gun control at a later date, but now Senate will move to internet sales tax measure.

The extremist left is the same kind of slimeball low-life as the extremist right.  Lawrence O'Donnell of MSNBC is now blaming the NRA for slowing down the Boston bombing investigation.  Maggot.

His whole premise is "tagging" powder.  Obviously has no clue about much of anything, but specifically, regarding this case - no clue on how easy it would be to just make some custom powder.  

The REAL problem here is the crying need for regulation of pressure cookers.  Sizes should be limited - there is no reason for an individual to own a pressure cooker with more than 7 quarts capacity.  It is just too dangerous to allow these things in private hands!  Look at this insanity!  No one should be allowed to cook or can so many canned goods at one time!  This is just wrong!  And don't EVEN get me started about ballistic nylon back packs!  The name alone shows dangerous intent!

http://www.allamericancanner.com/allamericanpressurecanner.htm

There should be a national registry.  These radical, extreme "preppers" who grow and preserve their own food should be registered in a Federal data base so we can protect innocent people from the effects of their twisted, self-reliant leaning minds!  THEY are the danger to American society!  Plus, think of the jobs they are stealing from good, honest, hard working, God fearing people working for Heinz, Del Monte, and Great Value!!  This must not stand!
