1. I wish it were "unimaginable"....

Unfortunately, it is not "unimaginable," it is reality.

2. Not really unimaginable when it's become SOP . . .

11. hey, after each one people buy more guns! more, more more!

it serves the manufacturers' needs when we let "absolutely unacceptable" slide into "no surprise": I was waiting for another school shooting because summer was already approaching, but that was just UCLA

3. The Democrats held a filibuster

and forced the Republicans to hold a vote.

4. So all of the Democrats voted for

The Republican sponsored background check amendments? Or was the perfect the enemy of the good?

[BainsBane]

5. anything that restricts gun sales and profits

Is an enemy as far as the gun lobby and their supporters are concerned.

6. Nice non answer

If most of the Republicans voted for their own amendment, they needed less than 10 Democrats out of over 40 to help it get to 60 for at least some kind of background check action.

8. Just so I have this correct

You're complaining because the Democrats didn't vote with the Republicans?

[Duckhunter935]

9. To pass at least some kind of controls

To keep those bad people from getting guns, yes. I did like the part about the FBI notification if a person was on a list in the last 5 years, reasonable in my opinion. I guess you think nothing is better, right?

12. This is only My 240th Post

But I'm using it to kick this very important thread so it gets greater exposure and hopefully ends up on the front page. Recs needed!

14. I'm Tired Now

And I have to sleep. All I can say, WP, is that I did what I could. I'm sorry if it wasn't enough. Peace.
