8. This will be another typical McConnell bait and switch

He encouraged R Senators to work with the Ds to craft something that "will overcome the filibuster," yet when it does come to a vote, the Rs will not vote for it. It won't even come close to overcoming the filibuster. That "A" rating from the NRA - and the money that flows into their campaigns - means way too much to officially risk it.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if one of the corrupt Rs called Wayne Fucking LaPierre personally and said, "Hang tight. We'll pretend to work on some gun control policies to make it look like we're doing something, but rest assured, we won't vote for it. In the meantime, enjoy the record sales of guns to people who are fooled into thinking they've got to buy now before something is banned, ha ha ha ha ha!"
