[QUOTE="jkupper, post: 793433, member: 61637"] I am happy to say that my two Nebraska Senators voted Nay. At least they listened to the people in their state, and obeyed their Constitutional oaths. Nerbaska is one of only 10 states, i believe, that already required a background check at gun shows. I'm really glad that Ben Nelson is gone. This whole thing reminds me of that black eye for Nebraska, the Cornhusker Kickback! Having said that, it wasn't enough. What these so called republicans did was kill the filibuster, and made it possible for the democratic majority in the senate to amend the hell out of this bill and make it passable by a simple majority vote. Who knows how much they will try to add to it. As I see it, the only thing that we have to be thankful for is the fact that it must clear the republican filled House of Representatives when it gets through the Senate. Hopefully they will remain true to their oaths, but nothing is a guarantee these days. I can only hope that all of these idiots get voted out of office! I have been sick to my stomach lately about the direction of this nation. I'm so sick and tired of the political power games and a complete lack of doing their job as lined out in the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Sadly one of the few good senators, Mike Johanns, has announced his retirement after this term. I'm scared of what Lincoln and Omaha may try to vote in, though I still believe there are enough patriots here to overcome their vote. Sorry, just voiced the rant in my head a bit. [/QUOTE]
