Reid pulls gun bill from consideration

Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) announced Thursday that the Senate will “take a pause” and return to consideration of gun legislation at a later date.

“Yesterday, President Obama said it was a shameful day for the Senate, and it probably was, I agree. But we should make no mistake: This debate is not over, in fact this fight is just beginning,” Reid said on the Senate floor Thursday.

Reid’s decision came the day after President Obama’s comprehensive gun control effort suffered defeat in the Senate, with all the major proposals he backed failing to gain enough votes.

Before making the announcement, Reid consulted with the White House about pulling the bill, and the White House supported the move, according to a White House official familiar with the talks.

Reid said Thursday the Senate would “take a pause and freeze the background check bill where it is” and return to it at an undetermined date, likely with consideration of other proposed amendments.

“We’re going to come back to this bill,” Reid said.

Reid said the Senate would move next to consideration of an Internet taxation bill, a proposal that is believed to enjoy bipartisan support.

Makes sense to table their attempts for now - public opinion has waned as time has passed. They'll wait until the next government-created sleeper on psychotropic meds gets "activated" for the next mass shooting, then bring the legislative efforts back.

I give it six months or less before that next "activation" and mass shooting... They are focused on covering up the Saudi's mess in Boston right now!

:wink:
