Potential Senate Agreement on New Gun Law

[chipbennett]

And Young voted yes on "Motion to Invoke Cloture on the Motion to Concur in the House Amendment to the Senate Amendment to S2938, the Safer Communities Bill, with an Amendment" just now

So, who will be primarying Young?

Unfortunately, no one did. It's Young against Dem Thomas McDermott (mayor of Hammond) in November.

McDermott (DPOS)
Young (RPOS)
Braun (RPOS)

At first glance I see someone that may get my vote.

Get ready for folks to say you are "throwing away your vote" if you do not vote for a person without an R or a D by its name even though they are in direct opposition to your values and beliefs.

I will not for for Young again. Spartz, much to my disappointment, is on the bubble.

Do you think they give a rat's ***?

Only if there are enough like me that they lose their perk filled job. You know the one that magically allows someone maintaining two homes on $185K / yr, to become a millionaire?

I'm not deluding myself @BigRed
I know my vote by itself doesn't matter. My conscience however; does matter.

Indeed...and that matters most!

On the bubble?

 

[jwamplerusa]

On the bubble?

Her voting record is somewhat p*** poor.

By this metric not a leader and left of center. Indiana, and this district can do better. I tried to get her to engage with the House 2nd Amendment caucus, and she wouldn't. ( That I know of)

If the R acts like a D, I don't really think I have anything to loose. In the past, the R was many times "the lesser of the 2 evils" & the conservative candidate without the R initial was a wasted vote.

I think those days may be over.

At least neither of our Senators is on the list of 10

Oh yes he did! Todd "dead to me" Young voted for it

 

[Expat]

Is there going to be a L candidate?

 

[KLB]

Oh yes he did! Todd "dead to me" Young voted for it

He wasn't on the original list of 10, but he did vote for it. Of course this is AFTER the primary is in the rear view mirror.

[Tomc1947]

I won't vote for Young, he's nothing but a RINO.
Not sure what I'll do come election time.

As for the bill, seems like there's lots to be worried about. The definition of a "Dealer" may have just ended gun shows.
How long will it take to impose a expanded background checks on all gun sales?
Just saying

Today, we see another attempt from Republican Todd Young and Washington D.C. whittling down the rights of Americans across the United States of America. The “bipartisan” Safer Communities Act, which Young voted Tuesday to pass to the Senate floor, is nothing more than political theater utilizing emotions to infringe on your God-given rights.

@JEBland asked a question and I responded with Representative Spartz GovTrack score page. Now, don't misunderstand, I don't think I would agree with their methodology, but it should be reasonably consistent across members of Congress. (If you want an idea of how the site leans, look at the description for Braun)

By the way, I read Sceniak's page @Expat linked. The guy may be sitting next to @BigRed in my head.
