Gawdammit, Burr voted with the traitors.
I told y'all about him. That letter I got from him didn't give me any warm & fuzzies about his pro-gun bona fides. It was a typical politician's position, i.e. both positions and neither.
Yes, you did, but I've been aggravated by him since '06 when he played coy about whether he was going to stand up for us or cave on that POS amnesty bill.
Alright, so what are going to do about him?
We primary the sonofabitch.
At a minimum we need to write his office and let him know he needs to do his damn job or we guarantee he's going to be looking for another one.
Via Grassroots NC:
"Misguided {my ass - P.} US Senate gun control proposals could have been quickly killed during Thursday's vote to proceed, if not for 13 “sell-out” Republicans who cut unknown deals with Harry Reid (D-AZ). Both of our Senators voted to subject our Second Amendment rights to infringement. This is unacceptable, and they both must pay.
It was perhaps expected from Hagan given her GRNC 0-star rating, but Burr's betrayal is unforgivable. As late as Wednesday, April 10th he had pledged to join patriots like Senators Paul and Cruz in filibustering the motion to proceed. The fact the very next day he voted in favor MAKES IT CLEAR Burr has LIED to NC voters and cannot be trusted to defend our fundamental liberties.
They both may claim they “want debate” and that they don't intend to vote for the bill, and that there are opportunities to filibuster later. Don't buy it. There is nothing good that can come from this bad bill remaining alive a second longer than it has to. It is now possible to use this bill as a “vehicle” for unknown amendments that will be introduced – including Feinstein's modern rifle ban. The entire federal gun control effort could have been over today and the threat behind us. Instead, now we must watch the Senate's every move as “must pass before we know what's in it” amendments are introduced.
Both Burr and Hagan need to understand that IF ANY gun control restrictions are passed as a result of their betrayal THEY WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE!
Letter to Burr:
"Dear Senator Burr:
I am very disappointed {aggravated as all get-out - P.} that you have voted in favor of proceeding with the Obama/Biden/Feinstein gun control bill. This disappointment is particularly sharp because you lied about joining a filibuster of the motion to proceed with it. This dishonesty is unforgivable, and you have much to do in order to regain my trust.
Nothing so far proposed will do anything to reduce violent crime or prevent mass-murder of those made defenseless by law in “Gun Free Zones”, such as the children killed in Newtown. The problem isn't so much that criminals are armed, but that we have laws imposing defenselessness that seem to pretend criminals will obey them.
What you have helped move can only further erode the Second Amendment freedom of law-abiding Americans.
As your constituent I expect you to do all in your power to eliminate the threat this bad bill presents to my fundamental liberty at every opportunity.
I will be following progress through Grass Roots North Carolina alerts."
I know there's me, you, and BAS who live in NC. Anyone else here on the forum?
