Gun Registration Fails...So Sorry...LOL

[SJJRSJJS]

Just reported on CNN, that the gun registration law has failed to pass the Senate and since there was no way in hell that it would have passed the House either, soooooooo, you gun grabbers are out to lunch, as they say. I told all of you Lib gun grabbers that you were spinning your wheels, going no-where, no-how, and that nothing would happen, butt no, you would not listen to yours truly. From now on, I am the gun grabber's worst Forum posting enemy, so start listening up. How sweet it is....the vote was fairly close butt close is only good in horseshoes, so WE WIN anyway you want to go........

Gun nuts win 46-54, a "winning" score that only makes sense in the US Senate.

Freedom always has the right of way.

No, the US Constitution wins 54-46. The fear mongers lose.

Opposition to registration is just sad. It's a reasonable measure, that the majority supports.

And it is not unconstitutional. It's embarassing to even suggest that.

Background checks already exist. What is the purpose of registration???

Proof of citizenship to vote is constitutional and reasonable too, why don't you champion that idea ?

It wasn't a registration bill, it was an expanded background check bill.

It wasn't a registration bill, it was an expanded background check bill.

which required keeping registration records, so it was both.

Actually, no. The Manchin-Toomey Amendment specifically prohibited a national gun registry and imposed a penalty of up to 15 years of imprisonment for improper maintenance of records.

Wins when 60 votes were needed.

Its not reasonable at all. It does nothing and costs billions.

And "majority" is the key word. So our senate caved to the NRA instead of the people, how constitutional is that.

A right to vote isn't explicit in the Constitution so how can showing proof of citizenship be?

The rights of the minority are not subject to the whims of the majority. If you guys had such a "majority" you could just amend the Constitution.

Your point? Nobody's talking amendment, just a reasonable compromise. The NRA doesn't speak for me and I resent the stranglehold they have on the govt.

That's quite the assumption. How about the president caving to the "green" energy companies that failed miserably? And speaking of constitutional, why is Obama sitting on the un security council, that in fact is unconstitutional, therefore illegal.

Exactly, no one was talking an Amendment. But that's the process required.

can the government require a license, fee, or tax to exercise a fundamental right?
