Sen. Manchin: 'Absolutely' Bringing Gun Control Bill Back for Another Vote

by AWR Hawkins 29 Apr 2013, 3:48 AM PDT

Speaking to FOX NEWS' Chris Wallace on April 28, Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) said he is "absolutely" going to bring his gun control bill to the Senate floor for another vote.

The bill, the Manchin-Toomey background check 'compromise,' was tabled by Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) on April 17 after failing to get the votes necessary to pass. And since then, co-sponsor Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA) has said he's done pushing the gun control bill.

And as Wallace pointed out to Manchin, even Democrats have lost interest in it.

Yet Manchin is not about to let these things stand in his way. He says he going to bring the bill back to the Senate floor and that things will be different this time, "if we have time to sell the bill and if people will read the bill."

Uh, Joe, that train has already left the station.  But, if you want to keep reminding voters about all of the dumb shit democrats do before the midterms, be my guest.
"We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and then bid the geldings to be fruitful."

C.S. Lewis

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.
