Senate rejects background checks on gun purchases in 54-46 vote

Posted on by

And Mr Obama throws a hissy-fit in the rose garden.

From TheHill.com:

The Senate delivered a devastating blow to President Obama’s agenda to regulate guns Wednesday by defeating a bipartisan proposal to expand background checks.

It failed by a vote of 54 to 46, with five Democrats voting against it. Only four Republicans supported it.

Democratic Sens. Mark Pryor (Ark.), Max Baucus (Mont.), Heidi Heitkamp (N.D.), Mark Begich (Alaska) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Nev.) voted against it. Reid supported the measure but voted against it to preserve his ability to bring the measure up again.

GOP Sens. John McCain (Ariz.), Susan Collins (Maine), Pat Toomey (Pa.) and Mark Kirk (Ill.) voted “yes.”

Imagine.  The bill was so bad that five Demorat senators actually voted against it.  But fear not, because John McCain (D) voted for the bill.

What appeared to be a likely victory for the president was resoundingly defeated by the Senate as jittery Democrats facing tough reelections next year joined nearly the entire Republican conference.

From Politico.com:

Defeated and angry — and surrounded by Newtown families, former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and Vice President Joe Biden — Obama vowed to continue the gun control fight as he castigated senators who sank the bipartisan background checks proposal. He walked to the podium with his arm around Giffords, critically wounded in the 2011 mass shooting outside a Tucson supermarket, and hugged relatives of victims of the December Newtown shooting who attended the event.

See the video above.  It was, in a word, demagoguery.

And for roughly the fifth time, let me be perfectly clear with regard to my stance on gun control laws: I will not now, not ever, sacrifice my Second Amendment rights for children.  Not for one child; not for a hundred.  I won’t sacrifice them for me, I won’t sacrifice them for you.

Let’s be frank.  Gun violence deaths predominantly occur in melanin-enhanced communities whose male youths have no regard for themselves or others, or human life in general.  These shootings occur in communities where the populations are shoved into econo-box living circumstances, in urban environments.  These areas are overarchingly Demorat/Leftist controlled politically.  There isn’t a Republican or a Conservative within miles.

The bulk of America, via Gallup, isn’t worried about gun violence (4%).  It’s mostly worried about the economy and about jobs.  It is DC that is making the current Talking Points about guns, because they are taking advantage of the Useful Idiots who would so readily toss away their freedoms for a modicum — and a very poor one at that — of security.

The Obaka Administration operates only via crisis.  It’s this crisis or it’s that crisis.  There is no planning, only Management By Crisis.  And those events portrayed as crises are mostly not.  The “gun issue” is not a crisis.  It is a diversion and it is a naked attempt to reduce the freedoms of citizens and an attempt to corral power and control in DC.

The bombing in Boston?  That is not a crisis.  More people were killed in the two neighboring counties, in one day, in vehicle accidents than at the Boston Marathon.

Yet, because of the Pussification of America, weak-kneed Americans are more than willing to swallow the pill of defeat and demand more cameras, more checks, more abrogations of our Civil Rights, in order to feel “secure.”  FEEL.  The operative word.  Emotions, once again.  But, in truth, what HAS the TSA and Homeland Security done to make us more secure?  Oh yes, except to spend more billions of dollars and to reduce individual freedoms.

Your freedoms are at stake here, ladies and gentlemen.

Today, we “won” one.

But please note who voted to give away your rights.

A Communism Survivor Blasts Salem Oregon Gun Grabbers

Posted on by

From BlackSphere.net:

Many progressive/Lefty Oregon legislators are currently trying to jam through bills which will infringe on Second Amendment rights.

Listen to the compelling testimony of Manuel Martinez as he powerfully describes the hideous revolution and Marxist dictatorship under Fidel Castro. This video was recorded by citizen journalist, Dan Sandini (Dan had video featured in Andrew Breitbart’s Occupy Unmasked), at hearings in Salem, Oregon, last Friday the 5th.

This is Manuel Martinez, born in Cuba.

And to this I can only annotate:

“A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”

Democrats propose $10,000 fine for gun owners who don’t have insurance

Posted on by

Gun-ControlFrom the DailyCaller.com:

A contingent of liberal Democrats in Congress is proposing a new federal gun control idea: mandatory liability insurance for gun owners.

When New York Rep. Carolyn Maloney introduced the legislation last month with eight other Democrats, she boasted that it is “the first bill to require liability insurance of gun buyers nationwide.”

It also calls for the federal government to impose a fine as much as $10,000 if a gun owner doesn’t have insurance on a firearm purchased after the bill goes into effect.

It doesn’t take much more than a fourth grader — yes, even a public school-educated fourth grader — to realize that this is a brain-glazingly idiotic idea.

It’s as idiotic as the rest of the gun-grabbing laws that affect only law abiding citizens.  Actual citizens, actual taxpayers, will be the sole individuals hurt by this and similar laws.  For one very obvious reason:

The vast, vast bulk of gun crime is committed by purposeful criminals, who have records, who have likely been in jail or prison any number of times, who have violated parole any number of times as well.

Because they are criminals.  It’s what they do.  It’s in their genes, it’s outlined in their job description.  I know.  I’ve dealt with criminals for 42 years.  I know them, I sense them, I can smell them, see them, recognize them from afar.

Here’s what’s coming: your homeowners’ insurance will require a separate policy for every firearm owned.  Extra money.  And an accounting.  To the insurance agency and then from them to the government because the government will want the information and the statistics.  Then your ammunition will be limited and riders will be required as well, mandating the same things again: more cash, more regulations, more reports to your agent and thusly to the federal government.

This law and laws like it don’t hurt criminals and it won’t curb so-called “gun crime.”  The mentally deranged are already out there, and many of them are already criminals because the “system” knows not how to deal with the insane and the mentally misadjusted.  Those persons — at least in Fornicalia — get dumped into the criminal justice system and then spend time incarcerated in jails and prisons.  They have criminal and/or violent tendencies and they commit crimes.

Therefore, only the law-abiding are penalized.  Criminals couldn’t care less, and the mentally deranged lack the capacity to want to care at all.

Power and control.  It’s about power and control and ideology.  Leftism.  Socialism.

Because, once completely disarmed, the government can do, literally, anything it wants at any time for any reason with its “citizens” who, by that point, are nothing more than Serfs and Proles and Groundlings.

Check your history.

Gun Control, Switzerland

And here’s the BIG difference: more guns in the hands of LAWFUL American citizen taxpayers — not criminals.  But the Obaka Administration adamantly refuses to make that distinction, placing American gun owners into the SAME category as common criminals.

Ted Cruz vs Diane Feinstein on gun control bills

Posted on by

From Politico.com:

The Senate Judiciary Committee has approved a hugely controversial ban on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition clips, but the measure faces nearly certain defeat on the Senate floor.

The proposal, authored by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), bans 157 different models of assault weapons, as well as magazines containing more than 10 bullets.

The vote was 10 to 8, with all Democrats supporting it and all Republicans opposed.

Something tells me there wasn’t much Obama “bipartisanship” in that vote.  “Bipartisanship” according to Mr Obama means that every Republican and Independent vote precisely as do the Demorats.  Wait; does that mean there isn’t any “bipartisanship” on the Demorat side?

Correct!
