Freedom Wins: Senate Rejects Background Checks Bill

 

In a great day for freedom in America, the Senate rejected a so-called bipartisan background check
bill, sending Obama and the other charlatans to defeat.

The bill wasn't bipartisan, as only a few Republicans voted for it. I guess some in Washington and the corrupt mainstream media now define bipartisan as getting anyone from the other party to sign on to a bill. Facts are there never was bipartisanship, and there was never any doubt this bill was doomed from the start.

Even the idea this was a close vote was obliterated by the 46 Senators that rejected it. It needed 60 votes to pass.

It shows how despicable mainstream media outlets have become, as they continually made it sound as if this was a nail biter, apparently to appear to be relevant and persuasive. In the end it shows how weak and anemic mainstream media is, as well as the opponents of the 2nd Amendment.

Whining liberal Democrats predictably blustered about the defeat, revealing how weak they are and how they don't represent the majority of Americans.

Democrats in states that are friendly to guns voted against the measure. Those were Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota, Mark Begich of Alaska, Mark Pryor of Arkansas and Max Baucus of Montana.

Since anyone with knowledge of the matter this was an incremental move to eventually implement draconian gun control and confiscation laws, it's good to see the background check bill soundly defeated.

It also shows how Obama has become only a lame duck, rhetorical windbag, rather than someone trying to seriously make changes.

If he had targeted mental health and the training and arming of personnel in public schools and other public gathering places, he would have shown he was serious about truly protecting Americans. As it is, he is seen to be the weak, anemic politician he is, whose agenda is out of step with the vast majority of Americans.

Republicans Looking at Mental Health Issues for Gun Bill

It is highly unlikely there will be any real or significant changes in gun laws going forward, as there is little political capital - if any - for Republicans to lose if they continue to rightly oppose background checks at gun shows and limits on so-called assault rifles, which are very seldom used in homicides in America.

Republicans are rather looking at mental health issues surrounding gun control, one that the majority of people and lawmakers could probably support, depending on how it would be worded.

While being suppressed, there is strong evidence the majority of multiple deaths from guns has come from young men on strong medication, which restrictions could actually help to eliminate some of those.

The real problem is guns don't kill people, and it's what's inside of certain people that results in murders, no matter what the chosen weapon of choice may be.

By far the best way to limit murders in public areas is to have trained and armed personnel on hand to deal with the potential murderer.

Gun restrictions of any type only work for those already not likely to harm anyone using a gun as a weapon, as evidenced by the ability of criminals and sick people to steal or buy them at will.

Only trained and armed people can deal with the situation on the ground as it emerges, and they will continue to happen no matter what gun control laws would be put into place.

Is Senate Bill for Background Checks at Gun Shows a Joke?

 

If you were to believe the corrupt mainstream media, the Senate bill which would mandate
background checks at gun shows is a giant step that is a big game-changer in regard to gun control.

The problem? It probably has no chance whatsoever of passing the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, which means all of this absurd coverage of the bill is political theater generated to placate second amendment opponents.

It is also an attempt to manipulate some clueless politicians that there is a groundswell of support for background checks, when if fact Americans are far more concerned about things like the weak economy and their financial future.

Also a factor is the media don't want Americans to understand that all of this is pretty much a joke, so media continue to cover the Senate vote as if it has some meaning, when it has little importance at all.

There is no doubt this bill is highly unlikely to go anywhere in the House. About all it's doing is increasing the demand for guns and ammo, which is pushing up the price of both.

As for Senator Pat Toomey, who has foolishly come out in support of the bill, his days could be numbered, as he has formerly received an "A" rating from the NRA. The next time ratings are released by the NRA, Toomey should receive a failing grade.
