Clinton blasts Congress for not voting on gun bill

(CNN)Hillary Clinton faulted leaders in the House and Senate on Thursday for not allowing a vote on a bill that would make it illegal for people on the government's no-fly list to legally buy guns.

Clinton -- speaking in New York at the Brady Bear Awards Gala at the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence -- told the audience that it is "long past time to say enough" on gun violence.

"Leaders in the House and Senate won't even allow a vote on whether we should prevent people on the no-fly list from buying guns, including possible terrorists," Clinton said. "It is just beyond ones imagination; these are people too dangerous to be let on airplanes but Congress won't stop them from getting guns. It is just something that makes no sense."

2. We'll see if Speaker Ryan...

will let popular 'Democratic' issues get a vote, or just radical extremist Republican/Teabagger issues make it to the floor?

This is, of course, a rhetorical question.
