small victory!!
 

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Senate has rejected a bipartisan effort to expand federal background checks to more firearms buyers in a crucial showdown over gun control.

Wednesday's vote was a jarring blow to the drive to curb firearms sparked by December's massacre of children and staff at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. President Barack Obama made broadened background checks the centerpiece of his gun control proposals.

The roll call was also a victory for the National Rifle Association, which opposed the plan as an ineffective infringement on gun rights.

The proposal would have required background checks for all transactions at gun shows and online. Currently they must occur for sales handled by licensed gun dealers.

The system is designed to keep criminals and people with mental problems from getting guns.

Huge victory, nuttin small about it

well we need to take that list and the ones who voted yes need to be taken out of office because they stupid and they are what is keeping this country from heading in the right direction

Their constituents put them there... That's where the problem lies. The beautiful system we have where people vote for local folks to give them a national voice is backfiring and running us in the ground. It needs some modifications.

On welfare? You don't vote

Not a legal citizen? You don't vote (this we just need to enforce)

Unemployed for more than 6 months without a legit reason? You don't vote

Think the word "credit" ends with the letter K? You don't vote

Agreed!!!

FYI......Mary L. voted "FOR" this bill.

Ole' Mary isn't concerned, she believes she can't lose the election here in La.

I knew that without looking it up.

She is deeply rooted in Louisiana politics, but I think now more than ever is our chance to get her out. We need to get behind Cassidy 100% on his campaign. I think it will be tough, but it can be done.

Or paid her to. Remember the $100 million bribe she took a while back to vote the way Obama wanted her too? I think it was on Osamacare.

Yes it was called"the Louisiana purchase" and it was to buy her vote for Obamacare
