    Why does this woman not understand that what happened to people of her faith and to political dissidents in Nazi Germany makes owning so called "assault weapons" pretty much a civic duty ?

    She's in power, so it won't be her.

    Actually, the main bill is S 649, titled "Safe Communities and Safe Schools Act" introduced by Harry Reid. The Manchin-Toomey amendment is one of many, among them is the Feinstein amendment. Traitors all of them.

    Maybe it will work opposite of SB281, they will vote for this amendment, and vote against the bill. :shrug:

    Adding the AWB amendment will hurt the possibility of Senate passage now IMO. Now the fence sitting Blue Dems can vote against this piece of garbage without looking like "obstructionist Repubs" who are against "common sense gun legislation" as the libs say.

    Bad move if it's accepted. IMO

    Hahahaha...I like that one. :lol: Federal agents should rummage through her household and seize her collection of giant 2-headed jelly dongs, which undoubtedly fail the feature test of an assault dingus.

    That's a visual I didn't need.

    Bad enough I had a nightmare once about this woman taking a liking to me. OMG!!

    I woke up screaming and ran to the safe to make sure my beautiful assault weapons were still there.

    Ahh. Guns safe and sound, heart back in chest, all is right with the world again.

    It's the poison pill approach. She wants to sabotage this bill, in order to start anew with her AWB-II ver. 2.1

    After all the have "PASS SOMETHING".
    You know that's what's going on here, right?

    Plan D? Not worth the hassle.
    If I read it correctly...she only introduced it, as she said she would. The senate would have to vote to accept it and so far only Tim Kaine is a co sponsor (I hope this ensures that VA votes him out when his term is up).

    The introduce stupid bills and amendments all the time. Look at the crap that comes out of Mcarthy every year. I can't wait to see how the vote goes though.

    That's right. And if it is on the bill it goes to the house ...
    Why do you think Reid did not want it on the bill coming out of committee. None if this is any more troubling than it was before.

    Only after it is on the bill do we need to worry. Of course we can call our senators and tell them not to vote for it ;) but somehow I think they will anyway..:)
