Gun control hidden in Omnibus bill

[Bozz10mm]

What's really ironic.....AOC voted NO.

 

[toddnjoyce]

230 House Reps (over half) weren’t even in DC for this vote. Think about that for a second…not even a quorum physically present and the House could still be considered both in session AND vote on a bill nobody could debate.

That’s not even representation at all.

It’s a damn shame.
And yet 98% of y’all will still keep toeing the Republican Party line and not even consider voting Libertarian.

Because Libertarian isn't the answer, either. I wouldn't calling it "toeing" the RP. The real answer is ideological, and holding people accountable to moral law. Libertarian, without a moral law-giver and universal truth has no teeth.

It’s not that I won’t vote Libertarian. I would love to. But I’m not going to help a democrat get elected.

Also, there are many libertarians who are not really all that libertarian in actions.

It’s a tough call.

It’s an extremely complicated topic. But Right here right now, we are talking about a 1.7 Trillion dollar Omnibus spending bill that violates their own budget rules, voted in with the help of Republicans.
NO Libertarian would vote for that. Period.

No Libertarian was going to get a chance to vote on it, either.

When the O'Bummer admin threatened to take guns from Vets that needed help managing their finances, I was very concerned because VA is my primary health care.

Now this.

Because we use federal services that we were promised/guaranteed, we are on the hook for having our firearms confiscated if we go to VA mental health care or request a mental health provider thru Community Care... that is a betrayal and yet another disloyalty from people that use us but don't have any respect for us!!!

I think the Libertarian principles are definitely the answer, but I don’t see how we will get there without electing a bunch of Democrats first.

Like I said, I’m not sure…but I like the theory. I may vote Libertarian when Cornyn runs again if there isn’t a great Republican candidate .

You're electing a Democrat now....Cornyn is too much of a coward to drop the "R".....

When my children and grandchildren are suffering the burden this government is doing its damned best to put on their backs, they may ask me "why did you vote for those that would do this?". I will be in a position to honestly tell them I didn't.

John Cornyn (Texas)

of course he did... some other very familiar names on that list, too

Another thing in the bill is a $212.1 million boost for the US attorneys “to further support prosecutions related to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol and domestic terrorism cases”

Permitless Carry in Texas... after a lot of persistence and effort?

 

[AlteisenMkII]

Its just so sinister that they do this right on the holidays. Maybe I am optimistic that it can be overturned and thrown out but just the fact that they have to vote on it to see whats in it is utmost malice.

 

[rickt300]

Saw that last night. I already let my reps know

Well gee wouldn't it have been nice to let them know before these traitors sold us out? The bill has passed. Letting your reps know now is pointless.

It is malice since they did not read the bill before the vote. Taxing without representation. This one bill has done more harm to the US than any other passed in our life time.
