Obama pouted like a little kid who had his favorite toy taken away and Joe Biden in the background looked like one of the old man muppets that used to sit in the balcony and make fun of the show.

Shamefully,my senator,Mr Joe Manchin,has lost his way now that he gets to rub shoulders with Obama.He is a moderate democrat,but has lost his way.Our state is pro gun,he has become infatuated with the feel of fence riding.If your elected official voted pro gun,please notify them and thank them.If they voted with the gun control crowd,please notify them and voice your opinion.Do not think that the antis will curl up in the fetal position and die on this one.They see no reason to defend our 2nd amendment rights.Remind them who they work for!

Real happy it got voted down not surprised maryland was yes for it. Maybe I need to more down south further were all the states where no  lol

Sad to see how the "Gang of Eight" voted...  Since when did the people of this country vote to allow eight individuals to make decisions versus ALL of our elected officials?  Yet another reason for term limits...

The really interesting thing about the vote was the amendment for concealed carry reciprocity was closer to passing, 57-43.
