Gun Background Check Passes House!!!

[Nictuku]

2 Dems voted against it, anyone know who they were?

[aeromanKC]

1. Only 2?

That means it passed by a pretty good margin. Very good. I'll give those 2 a pass if it helps them keep their job and get re-elected. Dems need to keep the gavel!!

I wouldn't be surprised if one of them was my old Congressman back in MN Colin Peterson. He's pretty DINO. But it's a rural district, so it's just nice to have in the Pelosi D caucus. (remember, we lost 2 D districts to R's in 2018 in other Rural MN districts. The only D's to lose nationwide I believe)

2. If McConnel lets it come before the Senate, I bet Sanders votes for it this time

3. Bernie voted for this in 2013, the last time it came up.

4. thanks for the correction to my incorrect implication

[demmiblue]

5. Never-ending, isn't it? n/t

[brooklynite]

6. Jared Golden (ME-2) and Collin Peterson (MN-7) voted against

[aeromanKC]

9. See, I called it!!

Peterson is such the DINO!!

[hopeforchange2008]

7. One was Jared Golden, ME 2nd District - He voted as his district would.

There was a similar referendum in Maine, and his district was pretty decisive in their voting. I don't agree with his district's majority, but he's representing them not me.

8. ...

JUST IN: In unexpected move on a gun control bill, House Republicans, with enough support from Democrats, manage to force language that requires NICS background check database to notify ICE if undocumented immigrant attempts to buy firearm; overall bill has since passed.
