It’s amazing how quickly this came to a head. I’d just heard about it a few days ago, and as of yesterday, the Brady Campaign and their ilk were in full panic mode over it with the media. Last night, Fox News was running a constant ticker about it over their program.
Then came the vote today.
We lost by two votes.
Two.
In a Democrat-controlled Senate.
We may have lost this one, but look at the circumstances. This never would have been imaginable ten years ago. Heck, it never would have seemed feasible at any point in modern times.
The winds are changing. Harry Reid voted for it. So did Russ Feingold, as well as Democratic Senators from Alaska, Montana, Arkansas, Colorado, Virginia (both Senators), and Arizona.
