Clues for the Clueless - Democratic Party and Gun Control

Remember when the Democratic Party had a majority in both house of Congress and the Presidency? Yeah, 2009. For 2 years. And yes, Ted Kennedy was out sick for a large part of that with no replacement, and yes, Al Franken came in late in July, and yes the Senate now requires 60 votes for passing new law. The Dems only had a majority. Their hands were clearly tied! What else could they do? Passing law would have required some sort of political skill. That's not what they get elected to do, is it?

That still leaves 4 months of not just majority control but enough votes to pass Senate closure requirements as well. Strangely, they passed no gun control measures in that time.

However, the DNC and the Dem superPACs have all accepted millions upon millions of dollars from the majority owners of Smith & Wesson, Sturm & Ruger, etc. These financial institutions have paid over $4.1 million in speaking fees to Clinton family members and the Clinton Foundation in recent years.

But you know, totally in favor of gun control. Totally. Ahem.
