Congress Fails Newtown!

26 lives were lost by a madman with a gun. The families of the victims can't budge a stubborn Congress. The U.S. Senate managed to defeat a watered-down gun control bill. This is why Congress is terrible. They can't fathom reality.

Movie director/activist Michael Moore was right.

If a tragic shooting would happen to fall upon the nation and it has to be an event that affects one of these lawmakers' children, then you'll see change. If a lawmaker loses their child to the tragedies at Sandy Hook or the Boston Marathon, then you'll expect the lawmaker push for gun control.

Moore stated that members of Congress should get an opportunity to look at the graphic photos of those dead bodies at Sandy Hook Elementary.

As predicted, the low approved Congress failed the people of Newtown, Connecticut. The conservative wing of the U.S. Senate (mixture of Democrats and Republican lawmakers) gave the American people a vote. A vote to allow the mentally ill and criminals access to firearms and explosives. A vote to continue the unregistered firearms to be traded within the underground. A vote to give a gunman over 30 rounds in a magazine clip.

Wayne LaPierre and David Keane can pat themselves on the back! They've put the fear in Congress. The National Rifle Association managed to keep the gun industry even more profitable.

The failure of gun control assures continuous gun trade without background checks ensures another extremist an opportunity to gain access to firearms.

Soon we'll see another tragedy to fall upon a suburban area and the media once again pointing their finger at the lawmakers for putting their partisan bullshit ahead of the victims.

President Barack Obama was clearly angry with this.

The bromance is over. Senator Joe Manchin (D-West Virginia) and Senator Pat Toomey (R-Pennsylvania) couldn't even muster enough votes to pass a conservative gun control bill.

The Senate vote was a major blow to Obama's push on gun control. Expanding background checks was the focal point of Obama's proposals drafted after the December shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn.

Vice President Joe Biden said just before the vote that tighter gun control measures will eventually pass, suggesting the White House wouldn't abandon its push even though the vote appeared headed toward failure.

A majority of senators backed the measure, but it fell well short of the 60 votes needed to advance. Forty-one Republicans and five Democrats sided together to scuttle the plan.

Democrats from the RED states helped the Republicans defeat the proposed gun control measures from Senators Pat Toomey (R-Pennsylvania) and Joe Manchin (D-West Virginia). These two politicos are conservative and partisan to say at least.
