Democrats force US Senate to consider gun control measures

Senate Democrats claimed a small victory early Thursday, forcing the US upper house to consider legislation to help keep guns out of the hands of terrorism suspects.
The move, which could break a years-long logjam on gun control, follows demands for action after the weekend massacre of 49 people at a gay nightclub in Florida.
Democrats took to the floor of the Republican-controlled Senate Wednesday to launch a procedural obstruction, known as a filibuster, to press colleagues to accept so-called “no-fly no buy” legislation.

Thank you senator Murphy.  Now let's see how fucking crazy Ryan and the Tea Bagging shits in the House are!

Squandering their political capital and rare motivation to act.....yet again, and so continuing to stall effecting gun reform. But, hey, maybe they can bait out the nutballs and get some nutty shit on record....as if they needed prodding.

Ryan has just said that the problem is "Terrorism not guns" demonstrating once again that republicunts simply cannot entertain two thoughts at one time.

And the NRA check is landing .... now.

IIRC, Trump even wants no fly listers to not be able to purchase sidewinder missiles . . .

Might see the dems win one.

And of course asking why this wasn't passed when they had the house, senate and presidency is a fools errand
