IN Senator Donnelly Open To New Gun Regs

[mrjarrell]

Well, he's made a waffling kind of statement, but at least he didn't come out and say he'd support a new AWB, like Feinstein is crafting.

Well, we'll learn early on what our new Senator is made of.

 

[Field King]

he will do what he is told to do by his partys leader, regardless of what he personally believes!

I think this is what will happen.

I've met Donnelly outside of the political realm. He really is a nice guy. That being said, I too believe that he will vote whatever way his party wants him to.

 

[ATM]

Anyone was better than Lugar.

 

[Black Cloud]

A gun-grabber in sheep's clothing is still a gun-grabber, IMHO.

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

I'd say this is a safe bet.

I've hit his office up twice now on this, once a few weeks before Friday, and a second time last night after reading about his waffling. The first reply was very polite, but obviously just a response of a staffer. The one last night came back about 8am this morning as an auto-reply "out of office" message.

Lugar would have supported a gun band as well. No net gain or loss for gun rights from our new IN senator.

Except having a D in office gives the R's one less seat in attaining majority rule and running the Senate.

They have only themselves to blame for that. And possibly the TEA Party.

 

[mschlatter]

Do you think Obama will tell Donnelly its his way or the highway? Wonder what he will choose?

Nah, just themselves

 

[techres]

Each of you has written Donnelly by now, right?

Hand, paper, pen, stamp, envelope?

If this is that important, get it done.

He might just well tell Obama to **** up a rope. He's got 6 years in the senate to do as he pleases. He may not caucus with the reps, but he may not follow along with everything the dems want, either. We'll just have to see if he wants a second 6 years bad enough.

This in bold. He has 6 years. ONLY six years if he votes for any AWB. If he goes against it he can still POSSIBLY have a chance, party line be damned.

 

[HICKMAN]

I fully expect the NRA, all blue dogs and several "Republicans" to fold and support a new AWB.

crap just makes me sick...

 

[Prometheus]

I agree.

Donnelly had reelection to worry about. Lugar was slam dunk anti-gun vote.

I don't see donelly being barry's complete lap dog.

Anyway, put the pressure on visclosky. He is antigun but he wants to be reelected.

Good thing Mourdock didn't get elected...........








wait...............
