Or do gun safety laws get exempted from this?

I called them both today. Was basically told there was no statement from them and I should contact them via their web site. They will then read my email and respond. Such bull shit - In other words - too bad so sad......

I called Patty Murray's office - they had no explanation - I am done - she will not have my vote in the future. I am so done with the corporate democrats. This party needs to see the light and we need to tell them all this will not be tolerated. if not, the party will remain useless. Those who defend them are dragging this party down. You would think these representatives would get a clue by now - but no - they continue to amass $$$$ and vote with republicans.
THERE IS NO POINT IN VOTING FOR THE DEMOCRAT IF THE DEMOCRAT VOTES REPUBLICAN.
Disgusting.

I will vote for the candidate that has morals and a back bone. If there is no one that meets my requirements I will not vote.
In the past I have crazily voted for all democrats - I have learned my lesson. These useless people are also ones who were silent on DAPL. Spineless shills.

The hell with draining the swamp; we need to flush it like a toilet bowl.
Corey Snooker is the really BIG offender. If he looks in the mirror he will know what a real conman and a fraud looks like.

which they viewed as better because it had more safety requirements.

We need to stop attacking democrats because of nits...they supported essentially the same thing, just not this exact version.


Here's why: There were two competing amendments. One addressed safety concerns, the other did not. The Dems who voted against the first bill, the one which did not address safety concerns, voted FOR the amendment which did.

And it's not broken out here.

When I make a political contribution, I have to state my profession.
