    He was a Muslim with an agenda... nobody pushed him over the edge other than the Islam faith. Which you have to be mentally deficient to follow anyway.

    Piers Morgan is a "eunuch" individual... it's no wonder he suffers from such frustration he acts like a blabbering idiot.

    We can't even have a vote? That's disgusting.

    Yes, I do -- ask those who voted no why they did so.

    OK ;why did those Senate Dems from "Red States " vote against cloture if 90% of the people were in favor of universal backround checks ? They were the Senators who made the difference.

    Here are the names . It should be easy to defeat them at the polls with them voting against the 90%
    Mark Begich (Alaska), Max Baucus (Mont.), Heidi Heitkamp (N.D.), Mark Pryor (Ark.), and Harry Reid (Nev.) (for procedural purposes so he could bring it up again).Reid is an interesting case. He can claim to the people of Nevada that he voted for their gun rights ;and then go back to DC and claim his vote was procedural . What a worm !

    NRA said that the expanded check system would lay the groundwork for a national registry of gun owners. The measure expressly forbids such a step, with a 15-year jail sentence for anyone who tries to do that.

    Actually the measure only prohibits the AG from assembling a registry. But it's other agencies like HHS that are collecting gun ownership data as part of the Obamacare questionnaires that doctors are mandated to give patients.

    And you believe that? Obamacare was supposed to save everyone money and nobody would lose their current insurance and doctors... reality is its triple the highest estimate and climbing rapidly.. and most people are going to lose their current insurance and doctors.

    Not to mention the lefties have actually said they want a complete registry so they know who has what so they can take them next like Hitlers brownshirts.
