You ever hear that joke about the bear hunter?
From the LA Times…
WASHINGTON — In a final appeal to her colleagues to reinstate an assault weapons ban, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) displayed on the Senate floor Wednesday a New York Daily News front page from the day after her ban was pulled from a broader gun control bill: It shows the photos of the 20 first-graders shot to death at Sandy Hook Elementary Schoolwith the headline: “Shame on U.S.”
And then, Feinstein told her colleagues, “Show some guts.”
But her attempt to attach the ban to the gun bill failed, drawing just 40 votes, with 60 senators voting against it.
That was fewer than the 52 votes she received in 2004 in her unsuccessful effort to renew the now-lapsed 1994 ban.
