    #5  No law, no rule, no tradition is above their clawing, grasping efforts to have their way. It isn't about justice, or truth, or reason, or morality, it is about power. Every form of veiled deceit and hypocrisy hides the addiction to power and privilege masquerading as "public service". These people are without honor, honesty, or public virtue. They are the pestilence that has brought the greatest experiment in governance in human history to its knees, and the tribalization that this has created will not be undone.....

    #1  They know the bill won't pass in the House but they want to get the Pubs on the record who vote for the bill and then try to get some mileage out of the issue for the election--it's all about trying to get re-elected. They are trying to make not having guns the next big civil rights issue. Morons.
