This Is How the NRA Ends
A bigger, richer, meaner gun-control movement has arrived
BY ALEC MACGILLIS

On April 17, the bill to expand background checks on gun buyers failed in the Senate, and the fatalistic shrugs in Washington were so numerous they were nearly audible. The legislation had been a modest bipartisan compromise, supported by 90 percent of the public and lobbied for hard by the president. A group backed by Michael Bloomberg had spent $12 million on ads pressuring senators to vote “yes.” When the bill fell short—by just five votes—it seemed to confirm a Beltway article of faith: There’s no point messing with the National Rifle Association (NRA). And that, many assumed, was the last we’d be hearing about gun reform.

But then something unexpected happened. Some of the senators who’d voted “no” faced furious voters back home. Even before Erica Lafferty, the daughter of murdered Sandy Hook Elementary principal Dawn Hochsprung, confronted New Hampshire Republican Kelly Ayotte at a particularly tense town hall, Ayotte’s disapproval rating in the state had jumped from 35 to 46 percent—half the respondents said her “no” vote made them less likely to support her.1 In Pennsylvania, which has the second-highest concentration of NRA members in the country, the bill’s Republican co-sponsor, Pat Toomey, saw his approval reach a record high. One of the country’s best-known gun-rights advocates, Robert Levy, said the NRA’s “stonewalling of the background-check proposal was a mistake, both politically and substantively.”2

The problem is they don't even read the bills before they vote. How can they make a rational defense of their vote when they don't understand the bill?
The propaganda machines seem to have control of the masses now. It was a bad bill in many ways, to bad our politicians are too busy raising money to engage in an intellectual evaluation. :twocents:

They don't read because they do not care, they have figured they can do as they like and we just keep voting them back in...Harry Reid, Pelosi, Schumer, Franks, they just do and say chuck you...

Hell, even the people like Steve King and Michelle Bachmann will say a bill does something only to find out they didn't know what they were voting for. With those two purporting to be our conservative watchdogs it really drives home how screwed we are with this congress. I would trust a Hispanic fresh across the river or even a member of the taliban to guard my Liberty better than anyone in congress now!
