Gun-control official on Senate failure: “Bribery isn’t what it once was”

Gun-control official on Senate failure: “Bribery isn’t what it once was”. “The government has no money. Once upon a time you would throw somebody a post office or a research facility in times like this. Frankly, there’s not a lot of leverage.” ObamaCare passed in large part due to kickbacks. If a broke gubbermint means fewer pieces of destructive legislation, that’s a positive result.

  • Now that this POS legislation is a failure, maybe we can petition our senators to get all that ammo Homeland Security is sitting on, and offer it up as government surplus. I'm getting tired of seeing "SOLD OUT" and "NO BACKORDER" on every damned ammo website, and empty shelves at the local stores.

  • Yes, congress following the Constitution and the will of the people is bribery. Whereas billions of dollars spent on individual congressional votes to go against the will of 73 percent of the people (Obamacare) and creat UnConstitutional legislation is just good government.
