Six amendments offered in Reid's bill, S 649 and thus far all have failed. Some more spectacularly than others.
*Coughfeinsteinbancough*
The last one up is Laughtenburg's perennial magazine capacity ban. Vote total is 54 against, 46 for. He can't win for losing with his bill. You'd think he'd learn, but you and I both know that's just not gonna happen, now is it?

Assault Weapons Ban, v2.0
Debate starting on AWB v.2.0 beginning. The Sea Hag is speaking now, we've had enough blah blah blah...
Complaining about needing 60 votes to pass..Cry whimper piss and moan.
Chuck Grassley (R-IA) speaking against right now. Passion, I like it!
And the voting begins at 5:23 PM EDT...
And ends at 5:40 PM EDT, it goes down in flames. 60 voting against, 40 voting for. That's got to sting.

Does His Brain Hear What His Mouth Is Saying?
Watching the votes on the gun bill, and Schumer just got up to rail against Constitutional Carry, saying that felons would be able to go to states like Florida and get a carry permit and be able to legally carry a gun.
What an abject moron.
There isn't a state that allows concealed carry that allows felons to get permits. Just. Does. Not. Happen. Period.
Waiting on the San Fran Sea Hag's bill to come up for a vote. Though of the 8 amendments, hers will probably be last.
Been an interesting afternoon so far. Watched Dingy Harry Reid vote against the Toomey-Manchin 'compromise', and Leahy's bill damn near made the cut, but lost out by two votes.

Anyone Else See These?
So some new-fangled gun control group with a catchy name has a new ad campaign out comparing what's banned at school and trying to gin up hysteria over certain things not being banned at school.
First, they trot out a bunch of little kids. Probably no more than 6 or 8 years old, looking at the photos.
See, in the interest of pushing an agenda, it's OK to exploit children. That they would first demagogue gun owners who post pictures of their children holding guns and threaten them with DSS and child endangerment charges and then turn around do something far worse is really no surprise.
Some of the commentors quoted in the article hit it right on. Two questions that were brought up, first about why is it that only the Caucasian children the ones holding the guns, and that whoever took these photos and chaperoned this event didn't know doodleysquat about basic firearms safety. In every single photo in the linked piece, the chirrens with the guns all have their fingers ensconced firmly on the bang switch. Evidently, being a 'gun safety' organization concerned with gun control means never having to actually practice real gun safety.
But the larger question is this. If a book is banned at one school district in one state but no other, and a common ball game is banned at one school in one state, and one toy is banned in school, we must make guns in schools illegaller than it already is. Even though all firearms have been banned in and around schools since 1996 unless you have been imbued with the magical powers of the Law Enforcement Badge of Power.
Note to Moms Demand Action: The NRA doesn't need to 'instill fear' of guns being banned or confiscated. You're pet politicians are taking care of that all on their own.

Absolutely Disgusting
So some schmuck set off a bomb in Boston yesterday afternoon, killing 3 and wounding over 130.
The reaction of the political left?
Dance in the blood of the victims.
It doesn't surprise me, really. They were too quick on the trigger in Tuscon, Aurora, and a host of other mass murder events around the country for the last 10 or so years.
We've seen Hissyfit Matthews blame 'Right Wingers' for this. The head of the Park Service thinks the Tea Party is involved somehow. Bawney Fwank thinks this is the fault of the sequester. Like budget cuts are somehow responsible for a whackjob blowing up the finish line of the Boston Marathon.
We will find out soon enough who is responsible. But can we at least give the politics a rest? I mean really folks, the ambulances were still running code and you're already playing politics with this.
Absolutely disgusting. Each and every hack who's pointed a finger in vain should be handed a pink slip and shown the door for their rank insensitivity and lack of tact.

A Compromise Bill My Ass
So 16 Republican senators voted on a bill today that NOBODY has seen. Nobody. We've seen a synapsis, but nothing of substance on the actual bill itself. Sen Mike Lee (R-VA) annouced at 1700L (1900 EDT) that the updated bill from March was supposed to be posted on line within the hour. Of course, he'd been hearing that exact same thing for the last 48 hrs.
So I have a question for those who just sold out their Countrymen (I already know the answer, I just want to get the question itself off my chest).
Were you born this stupid, did you have to take classes, or did it take practice?
I mean really? You voted on a bill YOU HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN YET!
I've heard of some dumb shit in my life, hell, I've even done some of it.
But voting away your rights without even reading what it is you're even voting on? That's even wayyyyy beyond felony stupid. That's a class of stupid light years ahead of anything you've ever done before, and that's a hell of a long list.
Additionally, this is being touted as a 'compromise' bill. Bullshit. A compromise bill would be that the gun owning community gets something in return, like say the repeal of the Hughes Amendment. No, this is a compromise bill in the fact that every single politician that voted for it, voted to compromise the rights of their fellow citizens.
A pox on every one of them.
