People in the Senate gallery were reportedly weeping after Monday night’s votes.
In the wake of the Orlando terror attack that took 49 lives at a gay nightclub, four gun control amendments were proposed to be tacked on to a Justice Department spending bill Monday night.
And one-by-one they were picked off like ducks at a carnival shooting range.
There were two problems with the amendments:
One, the attack wasn’t about gun control; it was about radical Islamic terrorists.
Two, they would have given the executive branch carte blanche to determine who is or is not a terrorist to be denied his Second Amendment rights, without affording him the minimum due process requirements provided in the Constitution.
Rather than focusing in on the legal arguments the amendments presented, NBC News correspondent Luke Russert reported this:
Just saw victims of gun violence who were in the gallery weeping in Senate lobby after gun control amendments failed.

Let the false outrage begin:
@LukeRussert The next time any Republican offers “thoughts and prayers” after a mass shooting, Americans need to tell them to shove it.

Absolutely devastating. And unconscionable https://t.co/bgHUh35Aq3

@DebraMessing @margaritateresa I hope the Senate Republicans heard them crying.

@LukeRussert how do these senators who voted no sleep at night?

Nevertheless, there were a few tweeps that saw through Russert’s “observation” and addressed the real issues.
@Biloximeemaw @fredwimpy @LukeRussert Yes, let’s see photos. Even that dope senator from CT acknowledged his “bill” prevents zip.

@LukeRussert Stop using this tragedy to further the left’s agenda. This isn’t about guns, it’s about Islamic Terrorists. PERIOD!

@DebraMessing @LukeRussert Yes. Due process. The 2nd Amendment. And stuff like that. Just horrible.

It all comes down to some basic questions:
Are we a constitutional republic or not? Are we a nation of laws or not? Do we believe in the rule of law or not?
