"Centrist senators who were courted eventually revealed their opposition to the proposal this week, making it all but clear by Wednesday that it lacked the votes to pass. Opponents voiced gripes ranging from an alleged infringement on Second Amendment rights to the more far-reaching — and inaccurate — claim that the legislation would set up a national gun registry."

The NRA suckups in the Senate, of course, new this...and so did the NRA...but the NRA kept telling its membership the lie anyway, and that scared the Senators who are up for re-election in red states from doing what most of their constituents want.

Anyone who thinks that the NRA is good for our country must not like democracy, or any other form of representative government.

They lied, and intentionally...and many believed them.

The good thing is that with the way our country is moving is that the NRA will be relegated to the dustbin before too many years go by.

We'll have to see if anything changes for their handpicked suckups in the 2014 and 2016 elections.

Fish on...
