Recently, on Wednesday April 17, 2013, members for the U.S. Senate failed to approve of major legislation concerning guns. The fall-back excuse is that it is important to protect the rights of individuals as stated by the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution. This may be partially correct, now especially as witnessed recently in December of 2012, when almost 2 dozen children and educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School were executed by a lone gunmen who shot off over 100 rounds of bullets in less than 5 minutes time. It was a useless killing of young children, most at the age of only 5 years old. So can the age-old excuse of the 2nd amendment be a valid one? I hardly think so, because now deaths centered around guns are raising at an alarming rate of at least 80 deaths per day. Even with the high death toll, Senators cannot pass legislation to protect the citizens of this country, even when the majority of people from both the democratic and republican sides believes that more legislation and protection against guns is needed. Senators continue to defy the people who voted them into office. They refuse to vote in their constituents favor. They are a total disgrace and need to be pointed out one by one for their negative vote concerning the need for gun safety. At the end of the report, are the list of name for the senators that voted for the bill and the ones that voted against it.
The legislation that failed to pass are listed as follows, those all related to Senate bill 649 (Safe Communities-Safe Schools act of 2013) voted on April 17. 2013. Each Senators personal vote is displayed.
With all that has happened in this country concerning atrocities concerning guns, here is a list of 7 items that failed the Senate because of Senators that failed their constituents even with the high outcry from citizens practically begging the Senators to vote positive for them.
1) Regulation of large capacity ammunition feeding devices. (FAILED)
