Gun Victory
The senate passed a bill that banned gun confiscation during emergencies. It’s a good thing. It’s on to the house, where it will likely pass. The bill passed 84-16, which is pretty overwhelming. So, who are the 16 senators opposed to gun rights? Well, they are:
Akaka (D-HI)
Boxer (D-CA)
Clinton (D-NY)
Dodd (D-CT)
Durbin (D-IL)
Feinstein (D-CA)
Harkin (D-IA)
Inouye (D-HI)
Kennedy (D-MA)
Lautenberg (D-NJ)
Levin (D-MI)
Menendez (D-NJ)
Mikulski (D-MD)
Reed (D-RI)
Sarbanes (D-MD)
Schumer (D-NY)
Nobody surprising, really.

Of course they voted against it. They want to confiscate guns even during non-emergencies.

[…] Regarding the Senate bill that supposedly banned confiscation of guns in an emergency, the NRA writes: Senator David Vitter’s amendment to prohibit the use of funds appropriated under the Homeland Security appropriations bill (H.R. 5441) for the confiscation of lawfully possessed firearms during an emergency or major disaster passed the United States Senate with broad bi-partisan support, the final vote margin was 84-16.
