There is not a single tea party elected official who has helped improved conditions in this is country.

Why did the Dems vote against the 2 GOP bills?

What was in them?

Did you stop to ask that when the GOP didn't vote for the Dem bills? Of course you didn't...

Didn't have to. I knew what was in the Dem bills, because they've been publicly talked about and explained every day since the last massacre. I haven't heard a peep about any GOP bills. You act as if you knew about them, so I asked you. That clear it up for ya any, hero?

Since the last massacre? So they were talking about the no fly list or the terrorist watch list after the San Bernidino shooting? I'm sorry to tell you but they weren't talking about either of those. It only became a thing after they found out the Orlando shooter had been investigated by the FBI and released. Sounds like we should be finding out why the FBI cleared someone who ended killing almost 50 Americans.

Whatever. Are you going to tell me what the two GOP bills were, or are you going to act like it's common knowledge?

Because they were written to help two GOP Reps in contested elections in a year the Democrats will regain the Senate. And did less than what the two Democratic Reps introduced.

Don't you even read a real off line newspaper?????

Even Ronnie Reagan wanted gun control. What aren't you a true believer?

Here, have a read.

I'm worried about innocent people being placed on the no-fly list without an easy way to find out they are even on the list or how they ended up there or an easy way to get off of it.

Seeing as how you are a leftist, I'm not surprised you are a fan of secret lists.

THOUSANDS are being their right to vote and you're worried about ten people. What the Hell's wrong with you???????

10 people? You know that for a fact? How do you know that if the list is secret? Where is the list with THOUSANDS of people who are being denied the right to vote?

Thank you very much. That actually made it crystal clear why the GOP bills were crap, and the Dem bills were better.

The four bills were actually just the Dem and GOP versions of two bills.

To compare (this info taken directly from Baldimo's link):
S. Amdt. 4751- the GOP version - maintained the "gun show loophole" - that is, required no background checks for private dealers.
S.Amdt. 4750- the Dem version - requires federal background checks on every gun sale in the US, period.
.
S.Amdt. 4749 - the GOP version - requires anyone on a terrorist watchlist to wait 72 hours before they can purchase a gun (this supposedly would be enough time for a federal official to convince a judge of probable cause to deny you a gun)
S.Amdt. 4748 -the Dem version - allows the Attorney General to BAN anyone on any FBI terrorist watch list from purchasing a gun. If you were denied you'd have to challenge it in court.

In short, the GOP bills were toothless, feckless odes to the NRA that did nothing and attempted nothing.
The Dem bills were bold steps to make real change and attempt to have a curbing effect on the ability of a crazy or bad person to get a gun.

And Baldimo was asking why one version was supported by Dems, and one wasn't? Duh.

Ronnie was selling weapons to terrorists as the GOP are doing now.

So you are for infringement of people's Constitutional rights due to a secret list? WOOT WOOT, let freedom ring!!!

The Dems offered no protections for innocent people. Get put on the list and you have to spring for a lawyer to get you through the process... with no idea of how long it takes to get off the list.

The GOP is selling guns to terrorists? Where is this taking place?
