What a smoky mirror that turned out to be.

Itā€™s all a shell game. There was never any intention of voting on anything related to gun control this year. Getting reelected has a much higher priority. Theyā€™re counting the days until they go into recess and starting banging their tin cups.

Jonathan just got an awesome face-paint job, what do you think?

Given this, along with Trump, if Susan Collins really wanted to make a statement, sheā€™d resign or switch parties.

So once again we are treated to Congress doing nothing but whining and sniveling about how ā€˜Democraticā€™ an action is, that it is a ā€˜political moveā€™, that it 'wonā€™t HELP, etc. etc. and weeping that country is just to cynical and they are TRYINGā€¦as they run out of town on their next ā€˜breakā€™.

I think tying any law to the no-fly list (which has even flagged a dangerous 18-month-old terrorist toddler) is a non-starter. There are just too many problems with the list.

Universal background checks OTOH is at least a start.

What a nasty NRA cocksucker. I hate him with the intensity of a thousand suns. May the ghosts of the shredded Sandy Hook Victims haunt him in his sleep

Now that Iā€™ve learned what spencersmom got for her birthday last February (Scaliaā€™s dirt nap) I now know what I want for mine ā€” a Mitch-In-A-Ditchā„¢.

Are you listening, you mutant human-terrapin POS? Make my dreams come true.

Wait. We can make requests? Iā€™ve got one coming up in October.

Anyone want to suggest what I should ask for? Iā€™ll accept suggestions before I execute my wish.

If the No Fly List isnā€™t any good, why does it persist? I strongly suspect that itā€™s actually unconstitutional, but be that as it may, if itā€™s good enough to protect the flying public, itā€™s good enough to protect the public on the ground from impulse firearms purchases. And yes, universal background checks.
