The Senate passed the most sweeping firearms legislation in decades, with a coalition of more than a dozen Republicans joining Democrats to provide new tools to deter mass shootings following deadly attacks around the nation.
The 65-33 vote capped a month of negotiations, led by Sens. Chris Murphy (D., Conn.) and John Cornyn (R., Texas), who were tasked by the leaders of their respective parties with finding a compromise on one of the most contentious topics in American politics.
The legislation, which provides roughly $15 billion in funding, would help states put in place and enforce extreme risk protection orders, known as red-flag laws, to remove guns from people deemed dangerous; close the so-called boyfriend loophole related to dating partners; and expand background checks to include juvenile and mental health records for buyers under 21 years old. Of the spending, more than half would be used to fund mental-health programs and bolster school safety.
Cornyn thinks he won a victory against the mob. In other words, freedom-loving patriots who don’t want bills passed that chip away at their civil rights. He means base Republicans. Here’s the rest of the Benedict Arnold Club:
15 GOP yeas on the gun bill:

Some of these names are not shocking, but again, we’re reminded why a) we hate the squishy establishment types, and b) how we got Trump. Democrats in deep blue states NEVER support or vote for bills that are diametrically opposed to the party platform. No compromise. No debate especially if that issue is abortion.

I don’t think I’m a republican. The party is leaving me. Seeping out my pores.

Cornyn Is a CHICKEN SCHITT of the first order but he is in office until 2027, we need to put a hell of a lot more pressure on him and the others on this list, the time for being polite is over. Rio7

Cassidy and Cornyn are in until 2027. That is 5 years from now. It may be they are planning not to run, and needed money for the future. If Cassidy does run, he will get primaried.

Thankfully, both TN Senators voted against the law. One, Senator Blackburn, wrote a scathing rebuke to the vote. Good for her.

Clyde Cassidy imo will try a Presidential Run or Governor of Louisiana hope I'm wrong.

I'm shocked that NE didn't jump on board. We usually don't miss an opportunity to stab US citizens in the back (Nelson, Sasse, Bacon, etc)! Looks like Ernst decided to step in for the Midwest this go-round. Anyone that would support a Red Flag law with it's lack of due process might as well just pizz on the Constitution.
Biden's most truthful quote ever came during his first press conference, 03/25/21. Drum roll please...... "I don't know, to be clear." and THAT is one promise he's kept!!!

Cornyn is a lying weasel. talks tough while running and then flops, hence the nickname John Wayne Cornyn as hes known around here if he runs in 27 hes gone, but honestly by then Texas will be over run with wetbacks from every shot-hole country to our south.
the corruption has always ran deep in lots of places down here, and will only get worse. when Mayra Flores won the 34th the other day i about fell out! its great the valley has voted in a republican, but now the eyes and checkbooks of the swamp and Soros will be on us and im afraid lots of these small county officials will be bought and bribed.

That's neither negotiation or compromise. It's simply handing the enemy a chunk of what they want.

Ernst, I believe, has become Washingtonized. We had a little chat yesterday though she wasn’t there. I asked her to not bother with her letter in response. That her staff would write.
