Cornyn R-TX offered a Constitutional Carry Amendment just like the Nat. Reciprocity Bill for CCW holders,....All these need 60 votes to carry.

Schumer whined and pleaded Times Square would turn into the OK Corral...

57-43 Not agreed to. This would have been one ok to pass.....

Feinstein is scolding the Senate for lacking courage on these militarized weapons with big "clips" and not passing anything.

This is classic....  Your 2 minutes have expired Feinstein.....She is "shagrined".....actual quote....

Sorry DiFi, not even wheeling out Lautenberg D-NJ helped.....

I guess political survival, for Dems in Red States, means more than towing party lines. Reid D-NV, however voted for it.


Remember these names of your Senators folks....

Veterans won't get a fair shake if deemed incompetant with a Court review, Burr Amendment defeated.


Now we have the lying D- CT Blumenthal about his service in Vietnam and his Amend. Banning High Capacity Mags.

No,... I expect more Exec. Orders from the Annointed One, and the country is still stockpiling just to keep up with DHS...

Hussein just finished a big whine fest, complete with his usual dog and pony show of grieving mothers, little kids, and Gifford's in tow. The more pissed he gets, the better I like it. Even with all of his warped and twisted statistics. "90% of Americans favor increased background checks!", he can't get it passed in his Democratic controlled Senate. Hell, even his Senate Majority Leader voted against it. Ya' gotta love it.

High Cap Mag Lautenberg/Blumenthal Amend. FAILS

Last one,...

Sen. Reid,.....votes continue tomorrow.

Maybe mag prices will normalize....unless BHO gets even more froggy with Exec. Orders.....but today,....just today,...I am glad the Senate remains incompetant.

I would not be surprised of some BHO supporters in congress are starting to see a lot of brown grass in the paradise they have been believing just needed a little bit of Trillions of Dollars to green up.  

They also know that if it keeps going south, they will be on the firing line (re-election wise) and that they will have to live here with the disaster and disgruntled populace, unlike BHO who has his real home country to go to.

Send him a thank you letter for that vote. There is a Senate rule that says if the majority leader votes yeah on on a bill that is defeated, it cannot be brought up again. By voting yeah, he killed the the thing. Hat's off to Reid. He earned his NRA A rating today.

OK correction. He changed his vote to nay, so it can reemerge,  so not as much of a hero as I thought. Still, he did vote nay. We'll see what the future holds, because one thing is for sure. This ain't over. Still, round one, we kicked their ass. There were more votes for national carry than a hi-cap mag ban. KMA Schumer.

Senator Reid did vote 'Yea' for the AWB, the trafficking bill, and the magazine capacity bill - preventing any further consideration because each was ultimately rejected.  I think he knew they didn't have the votes to pass and he voted that way on purpose.  He can stand before his Democrat colleagues and say, "See, I voted for 'em but it just wasn't enough."  When in reality, he knew he was voting to kill them for good.  There's much to criticize Senator Reid for when it comes to partisan politics and I'm certainly not a fan of his, but he's not a completely rabid gun grabber like others in his caucus.

You've got it backwards. Reid voted NO. By doing so the bill can now be brought up AGAIN.
