Mike Malloy - Republicans Are The Party Of Death

[hschulein]

The Senate on Monday failed to advance four separate measures aimed at curbing gun sales, the latest display of congressional inaction after a mass shooting.

Eight days after a gunman claiming allegiance to the Islamic State killed 49 people in an Orlando, Fla., nightclub, the Senate deadlocked, largely along party lines, on amendments to block people on the federal terrorism watch list from buying guns and to close loopholes in background check laws. Families of gun violence victims looked on from the Senate chamber as the votes were held.

Further action on gun safety measures or mental health provisions seemed unlikely before the fall election, given the rush to finish a series of spending bills and the relatively limited time that Congress will be in session before November.

In addition, the four gun measures were attached to legislation that contains several other thorny issues, such as the question of whether to take passports away from terrorism suspects, which suggests there will be little chance for further debate.

2. I saw a story on reddit yesterday or today

about the mfg of the AR 15 saying they just sold 30K AR 15's after congress started talking about possible ban of it.

People are buying them like crazy idiots they are.

But...two states now have a law banning the sale and possession of them. So we have to take this to the states and just take them down one state at a time.

Talk to your congress critters and let them know you want to see your state stand up and do this.
