A bipartisan group of senators said Sunday that it has an agreement in principle on gun control legislation, though the lawmakers did not provide specific and detailed legislation.

Ten of the signers were Republicans – the number needed to break a GOP filibuster on the package.

    1. _HAHAHA, LMMFAOOOOO, HAHAHAHAHAHA!! You’re never getting my guns and WHY?!!_

      *“Neither the Constitution, nor state law, impose a general duty upon police officers or other governmental officials to protect individual persons from harm even when they know the harm will occur,” said Darren L. Hutchinson, a professor and associate dean at the University of Florida School of Law. “Police can watch someone attack you, refuse to intervene and not violate the Constitution.”*

      The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that the government has only a duty to protect persons who are “in custody,” he pointed out.

      Moreover, even though the state of Florida has compulsory schooling laws, the students themselves are not “in custody”:

      “Courts have rejected the argument that students are in custody of school officials while they are on campus,” Mr. Hutchinson said. “Custody is narrowly confined to situations where a person loses his or her freedom to move freely and seek assistance on their own — such as prisons, jails, or mental institutions.”

      *SPEAKING the TRUTH.. They made school zones gun free zones and then like the dumbasses they are they sit there and wonder WHY people choose the gun free school zones to do this in!! Gee maybe it’s because they KNOW they’re not going to face ANY RESISTANCE at ALL!!*

    2. @Mountain Bike Addict – *Same here! Keeping my guns!! Every…. Single…. One…. Of….. Them!! Even the one’s I lost in that boating accident!!*

    3. @Mike B Stay strapped and stay healthy my friend! That’s how we stay dominant in this world.

  1. Quick Action, Insider Trading,”The first female Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi has a net worth of $120 million. Pelosi’s drastic growth, from an initial $21.7 million in 2009, is attributed to stock gains and smart investments. WHile Drunk and behind the wheel,Her husband reported raking in $1 million to $5 million in 2010 from a sale of Apple stocks.”

    1. He gets pulled over for a DUI and it magically disappears. We need to shut the system down and replace them ALL.

    2. @Mountain Bike Addict if only he was in the House of Representatives, oh wait he isn’t and is a multi millionaire, money buys innocence but he is innocent until proven guilty because unfortunately, we are in America.

  2. How about term limits for Congress and Senate. And banning Congress members from trading stocks, that includes their families as well.
    Then we can have REAL change in this country.
    Revolution is coming.
    Time is NOW.

  4. Every citizen should behave like adults and oppose this, even ones that support gun control. The federal government has absolutely zero authority in the realm of firearms acquisition, possession, design, or use within the States. The States never delegated the federal government that authority in the US Constitution, and therefore that authority does not exist (10th Amendment). It is short sighted in the extreme to support government acting outside the law, even if it for something you personally want. A government that can act outside of the law for something you support can (and will) also do so for something you oppose. The true way to protect your own rights is to protect those of your neighbor, whether you value them or not.

    1. I have a feeling if the cops weren’t too scared to save children after an hour of bleeding out, then we would be talking about something else by now.

  5. Amazing how efficient they are at getting things they want passed, just not anything else like the important stuff, you’re fired chuck
