Following Wednesday's filibuster in the Senate led by Connecticut Democrat Chris Murphy, Republican leaders have agreed to hold votes on two pieces of legislation: expanded background checks and allowing the attorney general to prohibit gun sales to people on terrorism watch lists.
California Senator Dianne Feinstein introduced the ban on gun sales to suspected terrorists in December, following the mass shooting in San Bernardino. It failed 45-54.
In American culture, the Second Amendment means something different than what it means in court. |

| Only gun control dealing with the criminal element can make America safer. No gun control of responsible citizens has yet had any net positive effect. Today, I hear only lip service chat of managing immigration. It doesn't appear that our bureaucratic so called public servants have the desire, much less the will, to address it. We've long ago given up on throwing the rapists, illegals, drunk drivers, burglars, pedophiles, and all the other miscreants; who use or possess firearms, into jail with appropriate sentencing. The need for gun control could be null and void in 30 days anytime our public servants regained a sense of duty in providing safety for the average citizen. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
