Feinstein's amendment only got 40 votes. I am actually giddy right now.
So, just as I predicted, there will be no confiscation. Just like I predicted, Obama is acting all outraged over it. I also predicted that he would use an Executive Order, Eric Holder, the ATF, or some other underhanded method to further encroach on our rights. I stand by that prediction
Remember, the president already did his executive order thing. Try as he and his team did, they found (as some here had pointed out) that the things he can lawfully, sustainably, do under his Constitutional powers are extremely limited, and NO, he could/did not just ignore the Constitution and make up his own rules! Out of an e.o. Of 19 or 20 points, not one was even a pebble in our shoe.I also predicted that he would use an Executive Order, Eric Holder, the ATF, or some other underhanded method to further encroach on our rights.

I don't care who you are...........That is funny right there.Hardtarget:
Your comment about the radical antis': 'their heads explode', reminds me of the invaders' heads in "Mars Attacks".
Irrational pinheads never cease to baffle me.

You may well be right about the EO, but I don't think he's done yet. He's so adamant about it, and has been so unethical in his pursuit, that I still expect something really nasty. He knew that there weren't enough votes. His "outrage" over the bill failing was as fake as that single tear in his first speech of the Dead Children Exploitation Tour. I don't know what or how, but he's going to try something more.Remember, the president already did his executive order thing.

What ever nastiness he still may be able to enact will be small irritants about ATF reporting requirements and such. If he even has the will to waste more time on this issue. He put on a good show for his base, the nasty gun lobby shot it down, he doesn't lose face so move along. Next fight, next topic...
