I believe the senators from NC, MN, LA voted for it!!!

Great news!!!

 

[wheelyfun66]

The Senate has failed to garner enough votes to pass their expanded background check bill!!

Can't believe that Arizona (R) John McCain voted IN FAVOR of this measure.....

Many democrats voted AGAINST it.....mostly those who represent rural states.

Now, can we end the panic and run on ammo?

McCain has a brainworm...

Ahhh, gridlock can be such a wonderful thing, sometimes.

Hopefully this will help calm down the supply issues. Soon those $3,000 black rifles will be $1,200 again...

Any word on how the Ga. senators voted?

A bipartisan proposal to expand background checks to gun shows and Internet sales fails in the Senate in a 54-46 vote, in major setback for gun control push.

Any word on how the Ga. senators voted?

Believe they did in accordance with their ideology!!! More info is coming, you guys in GA are fine!

I've got praise and admiration for the man's military service but clearly McCain has at best "lost his sense of direction". He needs to leave public service and try to figure out what John McCain is all about. He's becoming a dangerous laughing stock.

 

[CAJUNLAWYER]

How can this be? According to the news the expanded background check is favored by 90% of the people????

 

[ladder13]

Anyone have the list of the vote, not that I don't know where my "representatives" voted.

 

[Dikinalaska]

Looks like the background check bill failed in senate

Title says it all. IIRC it was 54-46 so the background check bill lacked support. If I'm reading this right...

Good news. Don't let your guard down though they won't stop here.

Right. Now could our Congress-persons PLEASE get back to the important business of running this country and taking some action to make it look like we may actually have some sort of economic future?

McCain has a brainworm...

That would imply that he has a brain.

 

[brucev]

Excellent... in every way absolutely excellent!
