is that the Gun Lobby's pass on money to those so-called elected officials. You're right - money is the key. We have to pay them (or bribe them) to vote the way we - the American People - want. That's a sad commentary on our government and our elected officials. The only thing these Senators care about is getting re-elected - their job.

It is a dirty shame - but I don't think any of those Senators that voted this down have any shame. They are blatant liars. They are the takers in this country.

We can do two things: 1. Vote them out of office - make them lose their job - pay the consequences for their nay vote today.

or

2. If it takes money to get them to vote the way we want - let's raise the money. If the 90% of us that want background checks and good gun legislation passed - let's all contribute just $1.00 to a fund. Then let's be very up front and dangle the dollars in front of them to vote the way we want them to. After all that's all that they respond to.

After the vote - expose them for want they are - hypocrites.

They will primary and they will back the anti-NRA candidates in enough races.

They need the support.
The money to do it on a wide scale.

And they would welcome more money.
