WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden met Thursday with relatives of the victims of the Connecticut school shooting, who were visiting Washington on the eve of the six-month anniversary of the tragedy to push anew for gun control.
Legislation to expand background checks for gun buyers failed in the Senate in April, and there are no indications it has gained any traction over concerns about protecting gun rights. But some of the Sandy Hook victims’ relatives have been making emotional pleas to lawmakers this week and appeared with supportive lawmakers at a Capitol news conference Thursday.
“The bill that passes the Senate must include background checks and not a watered-down version of background checks,” Reid said. “We’re not going to let the forces of an extreme minority water down and damage the contents” of the legislation.
Wait a minute,here! Do we really have Reid on record dumping on minorities?
Oh,the irony!

ZitatReid: We Won’t Let “Forces Of An Extreme Minority Water Down” Gun Control Bill…
And members of the extreme minority, like me, will not let a senile old piece of shit crook do anything on gun control. Blow it out your ass Harry. You're a fraud.

Reid is wrong, we are neither extreme nor the minority.
