Not a guarantee, there are a lot of pro-gun Democrats in the Senate. Tester and Manchin come to mind.

Heitkamp in ND and Donnelly as well. In fact kicking Dick Lugar (R) out for Joe Donnelly (D) actually helps gun supporters. Tim Kaine in Virginia is also not a gun-controller I believe as well.

Donnelly is an odd-ball. Voted for Obamacare but campaigned on significantly retooling it and now wants to repeal the excise tax. The media rigged that race to make Mourdock seem like an extremist. Sad, really, because he would have been a BIG ally of Rand. Campaigned against foreign aid, said the Ryan budget didn't do anything to seriously attack the deficit, etc.

Donnelly doesn't face re-election for 6 years. He can safely sell out and people will have forgotten about it by then. This is a calculation senators make i.e see Lindsey Graham pushing cap and trade a few years ago when he was a year into his new term.

supermario21
12-16-2012, 02:34 PM
Yeah but the money in today's politics will never forget that. Also, Donnelly will be at the top of the ballot in 2018 and Indiana is a very Republican state. He has to be very careful because it was essentially a fluke that he won.

I think John Tester and Max Baucus in Montana are both opposed to gun control as well. I heard even Harry Reid was opposed to gun control. The number of Democrats in the Senate who would vote against an "assault weapons ban" would probably be in the double digits.

All I can find is this:


Dianne Feinstein as San Francisco mayor, she tried to ban handguns in San Francisco, while she was enjoying the protection of both a police bodyguard and her own concealed carry (CCW) handgun permit.

Airing Date Dec.16, 2012 NBC Meet The Press

As Rham once said, "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste" and boy is Feinstein jumping on this. In the 2009 clip from CBS i posted in this video, it clearly shows her admitting that she is just waiting for the right crisis to present new gun legislation, and boy does she have it now.

Skeletor (Diane Feinstein - War Profiteer) will soon be holding Kangaroo Trials on the floor of the US Senate. Facts, logic, and genuine appeals to morality will be of no consequence. We have an entire country of sheeple that will gladly line up and march into the box cars if the .gov promises them more bread and circuses (and safety).

There's no possible way that her bill will pass Congress. However, given that Obama has basically ruled by executive order throughout his Presidency, it wouldn't surprise me if he just signed an executive order banning "assault weapons." I'm afraid that's a possibility.

Unfortunately, that's all the more reason for them to act quickly. I also have a bad feeling, that if this incident wasn't enough to do the trick... they will engineer a far, far worse tragedy in the near future.. and that one will get the support they need..

I have never been a conspiracy theorist, and in fact, I've made fun of such people before. However, when I read what you wrote, I instantly was like, "Yeah, it could definitely happen."

We have a criminal gang running the country. Check out Fast & Furious if you've any questions they aren't willing to see people dead for their own political purposes.

you under-estimate the power of the media and the emotional appeal of Obama. He was fake crying for a reason and followed it up with that speech because the pollsters are telling him the best way to sell this.

She owns and carries a .38 cal revolver and has a CCW from a state where it's basically impossible to get one.

Not only does Schumer carry a handgun, the New York City Police Department also provides armed escorts for the good senator. In fact, the Government Accounting Office -- the investigative arm of the US Congress -- slammed Schumer's use of police resources for personal protection. It's clear that Schumer believes he's special. He wishes to ban private citizens' ownership of firearms, while he enjoys layers of protection.

"No wonder Chuckie Schumer shoots his mouth off so much - he's able to protect himself," says a 25-year police veteran.

Also, a check of Pistol License records shows that Senator Schumer possesses an "unrestricted" pistol permit, a rarity in New York City. Licenses are distributed in different categories in the Big Apple: Target Permits allow only use of a firearm at a licensed firing range; Premises Permits allow weapons to be kept in a home or apartment; Restricted Permits allow the gunowner to carry their firearms concealed but only within the purview of their job (security, jewelers, armored car guards, etc.). So it's evident that Senator Schumer has two sets of rules -- one for Americans and one for himself.

And then we have Senator Diane Feinstein on the Left Coast who possesses something more rare than a conservative Republican in San Francisco - an unrestricted concealed weapons permit. Apparently without shame, she participated in a citywide gun turn-in program that was intended to create some kind of statue from the donated guns that were to be melted down. One of her police body guards let it slip that she contributed a cheap model for the meltdown, while retaining her .357 magnum revolver for her own personal self-defense.

Get yourself a AR LOWER! This one piece of metal will run you $140-180 and is what ATF considers the entire firearm (it's got the serial number on it). All the other parts that make it a functioning gun are not considered a weapon. You will be able to pick them up post-ban if it comes to that.

New York Daily News Proposes New Definition of 'Assault Weapon'
http://reason.com/blog/2012/12/17/new-york-daily-news-proposes-new-definit


Earlier today, I discussed proposals to broaden the definition of assault weapon, an arbitrary category of firearms prohibited based on military-style features that have little or no functional significance in the context of violent crime. New York Daily News reporter Douglas Feiden suggests one option for the new legislation that Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) has promised: Feiden defines "assault weapons" as "flesh-piercing, fast-firing, killing machines." There is another term for that kind of weapon: a gun.
