Senate on Guns?

It is really possible? Did the US Senate actually agree with the Constitution? Wow, they did. I'm shocked.

I'm NOT surprised that 16 Democrats (ALL the opposing votes) voted that the government should have the power to take firearms from private citizens if they wanted to. The usual far-left names are on that list -- write these down and remember them as Senators who obviously very STRONGLY OPPOSE your right to keep and bear arms:

Akaka (D-HI), Boxer (D-CA), Clinton (D-NY), Dodd (D-CT), Durbin (D-IL), Feinstein (D-CA), Harkin (D-IA), Inouye (D-HI), Kennedy (D-MA), Lautenberg (D-NJ), Levin (D-MI), Menendez (D-NJ), Mikulski (D-MD), Reed (D-RI), Sarbanes (D-MD), Schumer (D-NY)

However, just because it will be against the law for local police to seize your firearms at will doesn't mean they won't do it, of course.

1 Senetor Levin (MI) sucks. He votes against his consituites all the time.

I mean, he's from Michigan which has the largest community of hunters and he votes for gun control.

He better not go anywhere near a forest come November.

2 "Last month, gun lobbyists won another victory when the House voted to overturn a recently enacted law requiring safety trigger locks on all hand guns sold in the United States."

Can you tell me the reasoning behind this? As a lifelong hunter, this seems extremely stupid.

3 Weenie,
Trigger locks have nothing to do with hunting. If you can't see that, you're buying the BS shoveled by the guys in suits making millions each year off your NRA membership.

Think for yourself.

4 Um, Robert? This had nothing to do with trigger locks. This was about confiscating firearms.

And QW, that one is odd. I've seen it before, especially with the Great Gonzo being from up there, too. I bet union member hunters are confused every fall but end up voting Democrat because of (irrational) fear of their wallets.

6 You must not live near a big, Democrat-controlled city.

7 Where I live: women don't wear bras and never shave their armpits, birkenstocks are the shoe of choice, sitting in a drum circle and sipping a soy latte is in fashion, and living off the government is way cool.

8 Sounds like Robert P's paradise.

9 Ogre,
My paradise is a place where everyone lives their lives based on logic AND passion. Rather than just passion.

10 Interesting paradox. You hate logic applied to government, but yet want government to control your paradise that is based on logic.

Posted by: Ogre at July 14, 2006 06:46 PM (/k+l4)

11 If we had a world ruled by logic and passion we could do without government. I'll give you that one.

Posted by: Robert P at July 14, 2006 07:50 PM (5swqh)

12 So you're only willing to give up support of government control over people if people agree with you?

13 Hey Robert, I never said anything about Trigger locks better re-read my comment.

Oh and Ogre, you will be happy to know if you blew the City of Detroit off the Michigan map, Michigan would be a very Red State. Yea for Red!

Detroit sucks, they vote dumocrat so they can stay on their welfare.

14 Are there really so many people in Duhtriot that they outnumber the entire rest of the state? Geez. I guess more likely the majority of the rest of the state would like government to leave them alone, so they don't vote in as high a percentage as those in Duhtriot who vote so they will personally get cash from others.
