HE IS NO MORE THAN A RINO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely incomprehencible. When will Mc Connel and Ryan use the majorities in the Senate and House that the voters have given them to actually do something to stop the lawlessness of the Obama administration and stop caving in and making excuses why nothing can be done.
Gun control will only deprive honest citizens the opportunity to defend themselves against the criminal element. It appears we need people control more than gun control. Once the criminals are controlled gun control won’t be necessary.
This is nothing new for mcconnell, he would not support Cruz when he attempted to filibuster but he can and does support the progressives on their attempt to take the next step on total gun control.

both mitch mcconnell and paul ryan need to be forced out of their leadership positions, neither are leaders but both are week kneed aristocratic political elite hacks.
IT IS OUR RIGHT AS CITIZENS TO OWN AND BE ABLE TO OBTAIN A GUN FOR PERSONAL PROTECTION. THE GUN LAWS SHOULDN’T CHANGE BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT DIDN’T DO THEIR JOB PROTECTING THE US CITIZENS FROM A PERSON THAT WAS ON THEIR TERROR WATCH. HILLARY CLINTON SHOULD NOT HAVE DISOLVED THE PROGRAM IN 2011 THAT WAS INVESTIGATING MOSQUES, ONE OF WHICH WAS WHERE THIS LUNATIC ATTENDED. DON’T PUNISH THE PUBLIC JUST BECAUSE THE LEADERS COULDN’T DO THEIR JOBS.
Gun control is not the answer but enforcement of current laws are. If you commit a crime with a weapon you go to jail and no plea bargains. If you kill someone with a gun while committing a crime you get the death penalty and no plea bargains. And you only get one appeal after being found guilty and not 5 or 10 years later, then the sentence should be carried out.
The FBI dropped the ball on this killer, they interviewed him because of his association with certain radical people and yet he wasn’t flagged and was still able to purchase weapons. And the Company he worked for did work for Home Land Security.
A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed
He is nothing but a sell out.
This is reprehensible, that McConnell is caving on gun control. He, of all people, should know that taking guns from law-abiding citizens only gives creeps & criminals as well as terrorists every reason to take advantage of what they’ve been given by Congress. It is insane that to take away any defense a law-abiding citizen has is to give in to terrorism as well as common criminals. Chicago has proven this where they have the toughest gun laws & the greatest gun violence. Everyone with any ability to see the facts should know that criminals will get guns, whether on the black market or many other ways! Why can’t McConnell see this?! While I have been a Republican since I first voted I have to reconsider whether an independent status will be more effective. The GOP should shake him into regaining his senses, if he ever had any in the first place!
Our REPRESENTATIVES/OBAMA brought the enemy to our country. The did not do their duty to protect us. They continue to bring these people over, breaking immigration laws to do the process
This would only control law abiding citizens without any impact upon illegal transport & sales of weapons in this country by Mexican cartels who provide these weapons to their gang members & people like the liberal killer in Florida who intend to ill will upon what they consider as infidels. Obama & the liberal leadership has allowed Muslim & undocumented US invaders into the country without background checks or any type of restrictions what so ever. With their actions they are as much to blame for the influx of violent perpetrators into the country. Putting restrictions upon law abiding citizens will NOT stop the violence until they make a move to control illegal sales. This move by the leftist leaders is aimed only at controlling & confiscating weapons from law abiding citizens so we can’t defend ourselves. It’s a known fact that crimes perpetrated with guns is just a minute part of the total use of weapons of all kinds used to perpetrate crimes. Leftist leaders are only trying to micro manage US citizens & as history shows is the first move to control a population by unlawful force such as has been done by all dictatorships & they have proven that they are working towards a totalitarian communist style rule.
McConnell is just like at least 150+ republican elitist! They are afraid for their ruling positions in this tyrannical government. Gosh, once out of the “ruling elite” they become just like one of us, just wealthy! This is the ruling classes last ditch effort to confiscate our GUNS. We have to ask why do they not want the PEOPLE armed! This is not rocket science people. As long as the people are armed, this tyrannical government can’t take over our country completely. Take a look @ Europe and the U.K. Impressive right? The U.S. is the goal of the world. That’s why “they” refer to it as NWO or New World Order! Scary stuff? Well it ought to be to every patriotic American Citizen!
This administration and their backwards thing is what allowed the Orlando terror attack. The guy went to saudi aribia twice.No red flag there
He is just one of the RINO’s that will agree with ANYTHING Obama wants
Guns do not kill; people kill people! France has some of the strictest gun control laws in Europe yet that didn’t stop the attacks on Charlie Hebdo or the theatre yet they happened at the hands of Islamic terrorists. Eliminating guns by law is impossible because people intent on doing harm to us WILL acquire weapons. We need to look at these rascal Islamists and do something about it.
It is obvious that this clown is a sell out! Who keeps re-electing this RINO! He is a democrat! Replace this asshole before he disrupts the will of the people yet again!
Whats new ?
McConnell is a hateful evil traitor to the American Citizens. A wimpy impotent self indulgent creep that needs to be put out to pasture like a castrated old bull.
The wording of the bill does not protect citizens. No
Re word to protect our Constitutionall rights.
He should not have been re elected, because he has been there too long. A Congressman or Senator should not be allowed to make their job a lifetime position.
THIS IS BULLSHIT GROW SOME BALLS
He folded like a wet newspaper. Afraid to jeopardize his position.
He does not have any back bone and will not follow the constitution. He is actually guilty of treason
HE GIVES IN ALL THE TIME, SAYS ONE THING AND DOESN’T DO IT. I THINK WE NEED SOME THAT IS A LOT STRONGER IN HIS POSITION.
NO MORE GUN CONTROL
The second amendment and bill of rights are all of the gun control we need. It does not need to be changed.
Any restriction will badly affect the good guys more than the bad.
McConnell is a liberal
It is not the guns! it is the people doing it!!
Look at there names!! Omar, Abdul etc. Right after the shooting, he openly pledged support to ISIS. You don’t see john jones as a shooter. Get rid of the people who support Isis, and the Islamic Militants. It will not do to place more restraints on Law Biding US citizens. Think! You can figure this out instead of play into the Gun Control bunch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THis is not a religious issue! it is a terrorist issue.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mitch is a liar and suffers from alsheimer
