Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Obama's Tantrum after losing in the Senate today...

Just have to remember how knowledgeable the lawmakers are...

"These are ammunition, they're bullets, so the people who have those now, they're going to shoot them, so if you ban them in the future, the number of these high-capacity magazines is going to decrease dramatically over time because the bullets will have been shot and there won't be any more available,"

Why doesn't congress act to protect children from being murdered in the womb???????????

Hey guys, sit back, smile and enjoy the moment. Anytime you get to piss off anti-gunners�it�s a good day.

Yep, last gun I bought "on the internet" involved shipping to an FFL dealer - just like every other time I've done it. However, this time, since there is no FFL dealer locally, I had to have it shipped to a "nearby" town 50 (70) miles away. It was many weeks after shipping that I was finally able to get over there. Besides the usual expenses involved, there was the matter of fuel to get there and back by boat, a significant item considering 20-30 gallons at around $7/gallon. I'd say the laws (hurdles) we have are adequate.

Guys: please make calls today to those senators that voted for this bill, pound them hard. It can make a huge difference. Just got into an argument with Senator Klobuchar's staff and understand they are getting hit with a number of calls. It's effective.

What is Obama REALLY upset about.

It's not the background check per se, he could give a fat rat's ass about that when it come down to it.

He was re-elected with about the same numbers that elected him originally, even in the face of logic which says that with his performance and record as well as the absence of GWB to pick on, the election should have been a dead heat or even a GOP victory.

His triumph emboldened him to push his Leftst agenda as hard and as fast as possible - to strike while the iron is hot, so to speak. He has had the GOP on the run and the American public fooled. His opposition was is disarray. With control of the Senate and willing accomplices in the media, he figured he could wreak havoc on the political landscape and remold American society the way he wants it through policy.

This failure on the most benign of all possible gun control measures signals that his momentum is stopped dead cold right now.

That is what he is pissed about. The good times are over. The GOP/NRA still has some fight in them. Th GOP has gotten up off the canvas and is regrouping.

Grass Roots Americans were heard in Washington. People in "fly over" country and "angry white men clinging to guns and the bible" were heard. That frightens him.

I couldn't listen to the whole thing, but I did catch Newtown father Mark Barden state (01:40):

"Expanded background checks wouldn't have saved our loved ones, but still we came to support the bipartisan proposal�"

The irony is that if the Obama and his witless crew had backed legislation that actually would have made a difference it likely would have passed.

This is a super bizarre quote from someone who' 300+ posts here are nearly all in the advertising section selling and trading firearms and accessories.

The posts read like he is a dealer. WTF did this one come from???

Obama would lie his way out of the only honest comment he ever made if he could remember it.

Safariman Mark nailed it. Public opinion doesn't matter, we have a Constitution that determines what's right and wrong. Gun control is wrong, constitutionally. We have legislative processes for changing the law, not public opinion polls.
The concept of a "living document" that can be molded to the whim of the moment is a very dangerous idea, when a person is cognizant that most of the media is owned by an extremely small group of like minded people, who can therefore manipulate public opinion. Oh, duh, and there's always history itself showing the abuse of power by govt's against their peoples.

And finally, Kevin Gibson, the only thing I can remember agreeing with you on, ever- (had to take you off ignore to read it)

x10........:)

Contacted both of my senators. One will listen, and the other; probably not. We have one of the more moderate Democrat senators here in Arkansas, and he STILL almost always goes with his party.

I'm on record that I don't like republicans, but I REALLY don't like Democrats. Party members are party players almost always.

A guy like Mark Pryor represents Arkansas and he's voting for gun control? ReallY? That's representation? That's the problem with party politics...you have to play along with the party.

Bammy was urging 2014 campaigning on the gun control ticket, citing his 90% public popularity number.

Let's hope all the D's do just that.

90%..sure. Where's the public outrage then?


Sounds like crickets to me.

I thought Harry Reid had an "A" rating from the NRA.

I wonder what his support for this bill will do to ol' Harry?

i hope folks "keep up the fire" and remeber all these sorry sob's come nov

Harry voted no on the background check bill. I bursted out laughing when I heard it. But how the heck does any democrat score an "A rating" from the NRA. The could only hope to work their way up from being subhuman to a high water mark of an "F rating" by virtue of being a democrat.

But, as the Senate majority leader, couldn't he have kept this POS bill from coming up for a vote in the first place?

I don't know the rules of the Senate, but he voted no. I think he was telling Obama that the votes weren't there and Obama pressured him to bring it to a vote. What an embarrassment for Obama. He not only didn't listen to Harry, Harry voted no anyway.

Wrong answer. Sorry, Reid voted no only so he could bring it up for a vote again in the future. If the votes were there he would have voted yes.

Call senators today guys, believe me the left is out hustling us on this now based on my phone calls today.

Didn't mean to indicate I knew what the [bleep] I was talking about. I guess my first sentence eluded you.
