Senate Reaches Gun Control Deal After 10 RINO Republicans Join Democrats

Bill won't ban ‘assault weapons’ or raise minimum rifle age, but paves way for red flag laws and expands background checks. (which do nothing to criminals getting guns illegally)

The Senate has reached a deal on gun control legislation Sunday after 10 RINO Republicans are reported to join Democrats in a 60-vote threshold.

The deal does NOT include Joe Biden’s proposals to ban “assault weapons” or “high-capacity” magazines and raise the minimum age of purchasing firearms to 21, but it does expand background checks for individuals under 21.

Additionally, the deal includes Republican proposals like expanded mental health services and school safety measures.

However, the agreement would incentivize states to pass their own “red flag” laws to establish gun purchase restrictions on individuals a judge has deemed a threat.

Biden thanked the Senate for getting a gun control deal ironed out despite the fact it doesn’t ban “assault weapons.”

“It does not do everything that I think is needed, but it reflects important steps in the right direction,” he tweeted. “With bipartisan support, there are no excuses for delay. Let’s get this done.”

I want to thank Senator Chris Murphy and the bipartisan group for their gun safety proposal. It does not do everything that I think is needed, but it reflects important steps in the right direction.

With bipartisan support, there are no excuses for delay. Let’s get this done.

The bipartisan group of senators released a press statement outlining the deal:

With the 10 Republicans on board, the Democrats should be able to clear the 60-vote threshold to pass the gun control bill that will then head to Biden’s desk.

Why am I not surprised by the majority of those names?

Those aren't RINOs. Those are the heart and soul of the Republican party. They are the pure, true, genuine Republicans, who put the party before all else, including principles, and it doesn't matter anyway, because their principles themselves are the ones that line up with the principles of the GOP, to the extent that it has any, as evidenced by its history, its leadership, the sources of its funding, and the kinds of candidates its members perpetually nominate for president.

A Republican In Name Only, is what Ron Paul and his ilk are. And it's something to brag about.

 

[WisconsinLiberty]

Those aren't RINOs. Those are the heart and soul of the Republican party.

That's BS. Those RINOs violate many tenants of the Republican Party platform.

I do agree, however, that the RINOs and the Deep State/CFR types currently control the Republican Party though.

They are the pure, true, genuine Republicans, who put the party before all else, including principles, and it doesn't matter anyway, because their principles themselves are the ones that line up with the principles of the GOP, to the extent that it has any, as evidenced both by its history, its leadership, the sources of its funding, and the kinds of candidates its members perpetually nominate for president.

Party platforms are irrelevant. They have nothing to do with what the party stands for.

I do agree, however, that the RINOs and the Deep State/CFR types currently control the Republican Party though.

Those who control the Republican party are not Republicans In Name Only, as proven by the fact that they're the ones who control the party. They are the quintessential Republicans, who define the meaning of the label Republican, a label that should be worn with shame, not aspired to.

Let's see. Red flag laws. Where did I first hear that idea proposed? Oh, yeah. It was from freaking Donald Trump! I'm glad Rand Paul didn't for for this. (He at one time voiced support for some type of red flag law). And this is the "4D chess strategy" I've heard from defenders of Trump on his bump fire stock ban. "Oh he had to give them SOMETHING." Give some people an inch and they'll take a mile. And these Republicans are patting themselves on the back. "We've stopped the assault weapons ban." Umm....no they didn't. The democrats have already announced they plan to do that through reconciliation.

 

[Philhelm]

That's BS. Those RINOs violate many tenants of the Republican Party platform.

I do agree, however, that the RINOs and the Deep State/CFR types currently control the Republican Party though.

The problem is that when 95% of the party (and I'm probably being generous) eats peepers, then part of the party platform is eating peepers. A political party is an empty vessel defined by its members.
