How did Burr vote?

Here is a good takedown of the emotional blackmail attempt by the elixer salesman.
http://www.nationalreview.com/article/345762/don’t-let-logic-ruin-good-law
It makes no rational sense whatsoever to privilege the testimony of Newtown’s parents in our deliberations. The children of Sandy Hook were randomly chosen victims of abhorrent and reckless violence. It is reasonable to seek the counsel of victims if you suspect that they can help you prevent future atrocities. But we wouldn’t expect the casualties of bombings to have particular insight into how best to deal with security, nor the victims of a gas leak to shed light on the details of piping infrastructure. Cruel as it might seem to observe, you are not afforded greater insight into the legal and economic questions surrounding gun control because a bullet fired by a madman has hit you or somebody you love.

Burr voted to allow it to come to the floor and then voted against the Amendment. Disgusting.
I don't know what the argument against it is. It's not anywhere close to a violation of Second Amendment rights. In fact, it has nothing to do with the Second Amendment whatsoever. Furthermore the NRA was in favor of it universal instant background checks at all gun shows in 1999, which they articulated in front of the House Judiciary Committee by none other than their boy Wayne La Pierre. Just idiotic.

One of the "pro-gun rights" organizations supported the bill. This is an exchange of sorts and an analysis of the supposed shortcomings of the bill and how it doesn't do what it says.

I see you dealt with the substance of the argument in your usual fashion.

The fact that it's a felony to have a registry of guns and gun owners is absurd too.

Hopefully when the new bill comes forth, the registry will be in.
If the public stands up, it can happen.
Using "It wouldn't have stopped Sandy Hook" is an argument for morons.

Agreed. The gun nuts marginalized themselves every time with that nonsense.

I have trouble with the differences in guns available at the time of the writing and those available today.

On Morning Joe, Scarborough really laid the lumber to those that voted against this bill both Pubs & Dems calling them cowards. Its a bill 90% on Americans want and 88% Pubs want yet these cowardly bastards that are held hostage by lobbyists can't sack up and get something passed. I hope and pray every one of these fuckers are primaried the next time they come up for reelection. All those Dems from normally red states (Baucus, Begich, Pryor, Landrieu, etc.) can expect Obama to pour tons of dough into primaries against them because of this vote. The same should be said for the chicken shit Pubs that voted it down as well.
I could care less if the Dems lose their majority in the Senate over this because they like the Pubs are sent there to do a job, not warm a seat for 2-3 terms. All these clowns need to go.

Probably the first time you, I, and Obama have agreed on anything. I like to shoot guns, I own guns, but what fucking moron is against comprehensive background checks for guns? Our federal government continues to prove that it is nothing more than a joke.

slippery slope man. just one short step from watered down background checks to gun confiscation by a tyrannical dictatorship. I know because Wayne LaPierre told me.
