Kind of funny since right after it was voted down, he said the Senate had spoken and that he would not bring it up again. Then again he is a politician and when he's not kissing babies, he's stealing their lollipops.
They'll have had more time to beat on the non-Republican Senators that sided with the 2A which means we need to spend the time reinforcing those same Senators.
I don't think they will change anyone's mind about anything unless they significantly change the bill. Too soft, dems won't like it. Too hard, they will lose traitor RINOs. I will be VERY surprised if it comes to committee.
There are reports of polling that shows Senators who voted against UBC loosing popularity. I'm sure they are false reports but this 90% comes up often.
Never underestimate the lengths they will go to to win. They control the media and we got another taste of that during the Boston bombing.
Our win was no majority.
usa today says reid IS going to bring it up again but wont say when. probably when they have a better chance of ramming, or "attaching" it to some other bill that the rpubs need?
I wonder if the 90% bought the "40% of gun sales are at gun shows without a background check stat"?
The survey (NSPOF of lawabiding gunowners) that found 60% of gun acquisitions are at gun stores or pawnshops with FFLs also found that gun shows plus fleamarkets were only 4% of all gun acquisitions (and they are a mix of dealers and private sellers).
The Bureau of Justice Statistics survey of state inmates (criminals) found that of gun possessing inmates 0.7% bought guns at gun shows and 1% at fleamarkets.
I think if the supporters of universal background checks knew that gun show sales w/o background checks are not 40% of the gun market, but are a small fraction of general gun acquisitions and a sliver of criminal acquisitions, the UBC support would drop.
Carl,
You are missing the point. They could care less what the percentage is. They want a beefed up UBC....period....after that comes mandatory registration (the camel's nose is already under the tent at that point)....then comes confiscation. They don't care about where the guns are being bought, they don't care about school kids getting killed (unless it helps their side with the media blitz that follows)....they care about nothing other than making sure the citizenry becomes unarmed. Period.
This does sound bad. Coburn could possibly support it this time if it goes to vote. The last one failed , but it barely failed. 54-46. Should Coburn support it this time that's at least 55-45 requiring 60 to pass. Who is to say that some of the rinos wont jump on it this time. Lets just see what happens.
There's been even more let's-not-discuss-this-issue-any-further-for-a-while going on in Washington, as well. I'm sure the Senate would prefer to not address this issue again before elections if they coudl get away with it (both sides of the aisle). International intrigue and economic figures seem to be leaking back into the headlines, and the brief ban-reflex after the bombing seems to have already passed. We're safe just long enough to either regroup, or press our advantage.
