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.
