Ouch. Sessions just lit into the Democrats. Paraphrased, NOT EXACT: "None of the people i know in law enforcement think of suing the gun manufacturer when one of their brothers or sisters is murdered with a gun. They're concerned that it takes 15-20 years to see justice done once they catch the murderer. Some of you seem more concerned about suing the manufacturer than you are with punishing the criminal."
 
I love that they "support the individual right to bear arms" but always follow it by "subject to public health concerns". Yes, NJ definitely supports that right.
 
I caught it when the Sen from my state, Feinstein was ranting on. She
blamed 50cal's that could "launch a bullet the size of her hand"
from Arlington to where she was standing. She had a folder in front
of her that was supposed to have reports from LEO's, Mayors, etc,
yet she couldn't find anything in her folder to verify these reports.

She pulled out all the stops that she could muster, yet all appeared pretty
feeble. She will always be the enemy till the day she moves on. Let's
hope this bill gets passed WITHOUT any amendments that would
hamstring the pro-gun agenda.
 
Whoa, did you just state that I have a bizarre fascination to kill people?

Methinks she said your bizarre fascination with inanimate objects kills people.

Welcome to the thought process of the hoplophobe.
 
So the tree is officially filled except for the one handgun lock amendment?

No amendments of any kind have been offered yet. Corzine stood to offer an amendment and Craig objected stating that Senate rules say that no amendments may be offered while Sen. Frist's amendment is under consideration except by unanimous consent. Senator Frist's amendment will not expire until after the cloture vote if I understand that correctly, so it looks like the tree has been filled. That's my take as a complete non-expert on Senate procedure.
 
Craig did allow consideration of handgun lock amendment but that has been it so far.

Hence Corzine and Feinstein whining. :)
 
BR,

that's my take too.

I just thought they were considering looking at a handgun lock amendment proposed by Reed.
 
Craig objected to the gunlock amendment offered by Reed but did say if it was the same as the Kohl/Boxer Amendment that passed last year he would consider it acceptable; but that currently the majority wanted more time to look at that amendment and that until then they would object to any consideration of it.
 
Oh no here comes Lautenberg: "I think this is a terrible, terrible time for this country"
 
Now Lautenberg is wining and saying that if a thief steals a gun from a gun shop's counter and kills someone, that the gun shop owner should be sued and sent to jail. :barf:
 
Lautenberg is now whining about the DOD funding, and saying that the weeping families of victims of gun violence think Republicans are meany heads.
 
So far, Lautenberg's mentioned " . . . children who are victims of gun violence . . . "

" . . . the NRA, a tiny organization . . . " that controls the Senate . . .

the " . . . gun show loophole . . . "

and ". . . Osama Bin Laden . . . "

and he's trying to tie them all together . . . and following up with statistics from "somewhere."

What a loser . . .
 
Yup and now it's the DC Snipers again. And he's says they settled the case because they knew they were negligent...

Yeah couldn't be because these suits cost them a crapload of money and that's why we're pushing this bill!
 
Now he's really getting desperate, saying that saving lives with stem cell research is less important to Republicans than protecting negligent gun manufacturers from killing people. Sheesh!

"Rogue gun dealers" "gun shop loophole" "most Americans..." "right-wing special interest groups". :rolleyes:
 
Bah - this @ss can't discuss the issue at hand. Why doesn't he address the gun bill instead of talking about what the senate should be doing?
:mad:
