| #26 Gun control is the ability to control your weapon so the bullet goes where you want it to go. Gun control laws are enacted to direct law abiding citizens from owning or using firearms. |

| #24 From the CBS poll I looked at on April 16, if they asked people if they were for gun control about 90% said "yes". But if they asked people if they if they were in favor of the current gun control laws being voted on, support fell to below 47%. The bill concerning transportation of guns accross state line had about 51% support. All other seperate bills recieved less than 46% support. |

| #22 By combining, apparently in his head and on the fly, the demonstrably inaccurate “80,000 plus people a year” with the debunked claim that 40% of gun sales in America don’t require a background check, Mr. Biden reaches the completely unverifiable claim that “between 30,000 and 50,000 who get a gun who are not qualified. Probably higher.” That claim, the child of two other blatantly inaccurate claims used to forward gun control agendas, is, of course, itself used to forward a gun control agenda. |

| #21 We will keep our heat. The people your DHS Spanish speaking people are training south of the border in El Salvador are the kind of people we do not trust. |

| #20 Barack Obama can't pass gun control despite 90 per cent support. Did anyone there give this gem the smell test before publishing it? I didn't think so. Consider the audience, I guess. |

| #19 Sounds like liberal lawmakers are clinging bitterly to their laws and legislation. |

| #18 At least Sen. Mark Begich D-Alaska voted against the bill. That shows at least basic political survival instinct. Next we will have to deal with the mutant 1500 page so-called immigration bill. |

| #17 90% of Climate Scientists supported this bill. The politics of this matter are settled. |

| #16 Of course if htey repeat the 90% enough folks will believe it without questioning when the next election comes around. |

| #15 More specifically where did the 90% figure come from because I seriously doubt support for it is so high. Perhaps 90% in manhattan, DC or a federal prison but no among the general civilian population |

| #14 @TW's link, Dr. Tim, its a republic. ..and what is this 90% figure from? An Amercian Historian and a Constitutional Lawyer should tell you it is supposed to be difficult for government to pass laws; that's the point. In fact, the reason for the senate to have a term of 6 years is so they are able to make the tough decisions and be relatively isolated from the passions of elections. That is, insulated from the voters' emotions. Yet, still it failed. Somebody famous once said, "The system worked." |

| #11 Barack Obama can't pass gun control despite 90 per cent support. Truly, he is a lame-duck president - hat tip, TW Liberal ire was particularly strong against the four Democrats who voted against the Toomey-Manchin background check compromise: Max Baucus (Mont.), Mark Begich (Alaska), Heidi Heitkamp (N.D.), and Mark Pryor (Ark.). - hat tip Instapundit It's still the United States of America not the Federal Urban Peoples Republic. The 'Liberals' aka neo-socialist believe party and orthodoxy first. In a truly representative republic the agents elected by the people respond to the desires of their constituencies. In such a governmental construct, those constituents come first before party. Those four Donks do not come from states dominated by urbanists hive mindsets or perspectives. |

| #8 Ace on twitter: Obama showed the passion and anger at his personal defeat that he wasn't able to manage after the Benghazi slaughter. |

| #6 Have other recent US presidents been as contemptuous of the democratic process? Only one, who is entirely focused on the destruction of the republic. |

| #5 Have other recent US presidents been as contemptuous of the democratic process? Bulldog, I'll stretch the meaning of "recent" and say "Yes" - Wilson and to a lessor extent, FDR. |
