Quote

Yesterday, for instance, the House rejected an unconstitutional bill granting DC a voting Representative (and one for Utah for partisan balance) that passed the Senate last week — with an amendment that allowed DC residents easier access to firearms.  The district’s non-voting representative, Eleanor Holmes-Norton, used the occasion to attack pro-gun Democrats while the bill languished

Essentially, Ensign and the pro-gun politicians put a bullet through the heart of the bill.  And while Republicans are reliable supporters of gun rights, the fact that so many Democrats supported the measure sends an interesting signal to Pelosi, Hoyer, and Barack Obama.  If they plan to start taking guns away rather than just play keep-away as they’re doing with DC residents, they could find themselves in the minority very, very quickly.

I'm not giving them ANY credit, yet.  Let's see what it looks like after mid-terms or (God forbid) his re-election.
