Don’t look now, and don’t look for a play-by-play in the mainstream media, but there’s a civil war brewing in the Democratic Party. And it’s a war over guns.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s “assault” weapons ban is playing so badly that it failed to attract 40 votes in the Senate. The Democrats have 55 votes in the Senate. A large part of the Democratic caucus is therefore not on board with the ban, which President Obama publicly supports.
We know that Feinstein’s ban is so weak because, Tuesday, the Democrats’ leader in the Senate, Harry Reid, told us it was. He didn’t have to publicly note that the ban has attracted fewer than 40 votes. But he did. The ban has been scuttled as part of the bill, but may be attached as an amendment, which will be easier for Reid to kill.
The Hill reports today that other Obama-backed gun control measures are weakening.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has decided the federal assault weapons ban will not be a part of the base bill, and warned Tuesday an expansion of background checks to cover private sales might not make the cut either.
Instead, a bipartisan measure cracking down on straw purchasing and illegal trafficking of firearms will serve as the foundation of firearms legislation.
Both of these make sense even to staunch Second Amendment advocates. So we’re down now to the only common sense parts of the bill, which would also help fight crime while not infringing on any law-abiding citizen’s Second Amendment rights, and attract bipartisan support. Good, right?
Not if you’re Dianne Feinstein. She still wants a vote on her ban and is lining Harry Reid up in her sights if she doesn’t get one.
This is very important to me and I’m not going to lay down and play dead. I think the American people have said in every single public poll that they support this kind of legislation. It’s aimed to protect children, to protect schools and malls. It’s aimed to dry up the supply of these over time. And it came out on a 10-8 vote of the Judiciary Committee. Not to give me a vote on this would be a major betrayal of trust.
Well, get ready to be betrayed. Harry Reid is pretty good at that.
Remember, Incrementalism is the name of the Progressive New Left Activist's game. GUN CONTROL WILL appear as an amendment on some innocuous legislation, voted on and passed in "the still of the night!" There's even UN involvement, magazine capacity, ammo, etc. USA's Second Amendment is under frontal attack!!!! Sec. Kerry will see to this, he hates America.
America and Americans are witnessing the unfolding of "top down/bottom up and inside out" strategy as regards "Gun Control."
Top down= Executive and Legislative branches of We The Elite People of culture of corruption in Washington DC acting in tandem to effect (control)legislation unpopular to ALL US citizenry....Gun control.
Bottom up= Executive and Legislative branches of... (show more)

Inside Out = National and State Executive and Legislative branches of government acting in tandem to dry-up every and all sources of weapons and ammunition both domestic and international thru: background checks, waiting periods, description of weaponry(automatic, fully/semi automatic), licensing, level 5 or 4, manufacturing et al...Gun Control.
We The People's national and state governments are at war with America and Americans. God Bless America and Americans. Pray for Her, She's on life support and desperately needs CPR. Be vigilant! Be aware!

You need to learn how to count to 60. Come back when you learn. Do you even own a gun?

That is how the Democrats win. They play the long game where most Republicans can't see two seconds into the future, and can't stick together for half that long.

People like were predicting that the Republicans would fold on sequestor and it didn't happen. If Schumer want's a background check bill he will have to lower his expectations.

Maybe DIFI needs to look at the number of Demo senators up for reelection in majority Red states in 2014. Viola, roughly 15.
Yup, math is hard.

"it's aimed at protecting children"
like the 50 millions aborted until now or the ones who survived the slaughter of innocents ?
