I said after Sandy Hook that it was going to be our "Dunblane", and that many new laws would soon follow. I was certain a new Assault weapon ban was imminent along with a mag ban etc. Today it appears that even the Toomey-Manchin bill for expanded background checks has failed! Of course tomorrow is a new day and another opportunity to jump up and scream for more controls is just around the corner,but for today I am happy to report that at least on this go-round, I was dead wrong. I am very happy to be wrong on this occasion. We must not become complacent however. They will be back.

No one doing high fives here. Like I said , they will be back. If not tomorrow the next day. This will never end, until as Di-Fi once said, "Mr. and Mrs. America, turn them all in".

Saw Obama say "It's a bad day for Washington" today.... as soon as he said that, I figured that means it's a good day for the country and freedom

It is dissapointing. McCain also got on board with the bill. Yes, I know, I know, its McCain. I still admire him for his service and sacrifice and voted for him for Pres. He does anger me greatly at times.

If this didn't make it, the others won't. Not unless some palms are seriously greased.
I saw the wording for the others and there is little difference in them.
