Following Wednesday's filibuster in the Senate led by Connecticut Democrat Chris Murphy, Republican leaders have agreed to hold votes on two pieces of legislation: expanded background checks and allowing the attorney general to prohibit gun sales to people on terrorism watch lists.
California Senator Dianne Feinstein introduced the ban on gun sales to suspected terrorists in December, following the mass shooting in San Bernardino. It failed 45-54.
In American culture, the Second Amendment means something different than what it means in court. |

| Only gun control dealing with the criminal element can make America safer. No gun control of responsible citizens has yet had any net positive effect. Today, I hear only lip service chat of managing immigration. It doesn't appear that our bureaucratic so called public servants have the desire, much less the will, to address it. We've long ago given up on throwing the rapists, illegals, drunk drivers, burglars, pedophiles, and all the other miscreants; who use or possess firearms, into jail with appropriate sentencing. The need for gun control could be null and void in 30 days anytime our public servants regained a sense of duty in providing safety for the average citizen. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
