Sounds like the only thing holding it up is registration. The link was on drudge

I doubt it'll pass in the house, so it really doesn't matter.

Pure political theater.

It does matter because it sets a precident and only serves to further encourage gun grabbers future efforts

furthermore should we lose the house in 2014 things are going to get ugly without Senators that can be trusted to uphold their oaths

I heard Mit Romney is going to be elected in an overwhelming landslide. Yayyyy!

Dan Winslow a former aid to Romney has thrown his hat in apparently but I can find no evidence that Romney himself has.

Got an article?

I would be extremely shocked if it did!!

"Legislation to limit gun violence."

I had the impression that gun violence was already illegal. So confused now...

If that does happen (which is VERY likely IMO), it's not going to matter anyway.

It's going to be a freedom feeding frenzy...

Have to agree with that one.

Take your pick. It looks like he's a sure thing.

The point is we can all go back to sleep in blissful complacency. No anti-gun legislation can possibly get past the stalwart Republican Guard.

I could see it happening if that had lost seats during the election. But given the fact they gained seats, it would take a huge group of them doing something monumentally stupid to risk loosing control. At least, that's my take on the matter.

AFAIK republicans did lose seats in senate AND house in the last election. And theyll lose more next election if they dont stop the democrats from making them look bad.

You mean like Sequestration.

 

[Sev89]

If it were closer to mid-term elections, then yes. Sequestration would be an issue. But given the fact your typical voter has the attention span of a goldfish, that won't matter if it happens now. They'll be too worried about american idol or whatever a couple of months down the road.
