Actually knowing what is in a bill before voting on it
McConnell will block gun bill until Democratic leaders give details
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has announced he will block the gun-control legislation Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) wants to bring to the Senate floor.
McConnell signaled he would not allow the legislation to move forward until he has a better sense of what’s in it.
“Sen. McConnell opposes the Reid bill [S. 649],†said Don Stewart, McConnell’s spokesman. “While nobody knows yet what Sen. Reid’s plan is for the gun bill, if he chooses to file cloture on the motion to proceed to the Reid bill, Sen. McConnell will oppose cloture on proceeding to that bill.â€
Does Reid even know what is in the bill? If not, I seriously hope that someone stuck a provision in there declaring Senator Harry Reid an “Official Twat” so that we can get that on record.
Anyone give me odds that the Bill will have the Background Check provision actually be permanent gun Registration? Then, in the follow-on the Feds will claim that they have to Register all guns because it will be ineffective without data on pre-existing guns (which would be true).
This WILL be a first-stage to Aussie-style registration, then confiscation.
Just say NO to Reid and his gun-grab.
