DeanBarron7 Its a start but more stringent measures are needed
Doing away with the filibuster...because that worked out so well for you the last time you went 'nuclear,' eh Harry?
Please stop using crazy!
I still love Harry Reid.
It's funny how only the party that is not in a majority ever has a problem with the filibuster. Harry Reid was as hardcore partisan as they came, he should shut the hell up. He's a big reason for the current environment.
“Crazy”? Wtf
The fact is there is a background check for 100% of these purchases already. AxisSally
Uh, Harry Reid said this? 😳😳 😂😂🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yes, let’s listen to Harry Reid, a guy who has been out of touch with reality for three decades.
There already are.
Imagine being a news outlet that allows politicians to sweep crimes under the rug, but changing the words used to describe what the people are.
The current Republican Party does no longer adhere to a bipartisan approach to democracy. Democrats haven't changed, THEY have. I can't see how trying to deal with people who have no respect for the House, Senate or White House is feasible.
fine, awesome, but please, don't use the word 'crazy'
I would also like a background check for the crazy criminal who currently occupies the Oval Office.
Would a Democrat allow citizen Trump all his his constitutional rights?
“People who are crazy”. Fantastic. /s
If there is ever any legislation on guns at the federal level the states in the South and West will do what the libs did with immigration..they will have sanctuary states for guns basically nullifying any gun legislation. The gun debate has been over for long time.
For all the Trump loving baggers, how about we just call it ' extream vetting ' you all seem to like that phrase.
We have background checks. Reid deliberately failed to mention that the proportion that want new, stricter gun laws is much smaller, around 60%, in the same surveys. Clearly many believe the background checks we have are those they want.
The filibuster isn't the problem, it's a tool the problem uses further their agenda
I fully support universal background checks. For all weapons sales private and commercial.
NPR I really thought you were better than this shit!
Harry Reid got us Mitch McConnell, and should shut the hell up.
Fortunately we don't have the Bill of Rights to enforce the will of the 90% over that of the 10%. We have it to protect the one from the many. If you have a hard time with that, substitute 'freedom of religion' or 'speech' with 'gun'. It might become a bit more clear.
Oh, I get it. Those are completely unrelated statements. 90% of Americans believe that there should be background checks (which is an existing law). Then he made a non sequitur saying that he wants the filibusterer gone so they can pass unrelated gun legislature.
And we already have such background checks.
With the flock in charge of the Senate right now, if you took away the filibuster, in a few days every American would be required to carry a gun...for the children, or whatever nonsense they'd use.
F**k Harry Reid and his arm chair Monday Morning Quarterbacking
Can there be a filibuster where you can yield to a question from a person, and have them assume the floor as a continuance of the filibuster, or can return the floor to the original speaker, and keep it going ?
There are already federal background checks
B’gock Crazy broken Harry Reid
This would include donald trump.
States already require background checks and metal heath record checks for gun permits. Lol

NPR Choice pageAn important story, though it fails to mention another important driver of these outcomes: persistent stigma associated with cancer diagnoses in cultures where moralization of disease is still common. As a mother of a child w/cancer,thank you!! Biggest issue is $. ALL childhood cancers combined receive 3.8% of federal funding for research. These are children..w/whole lives to live..but they are receiving chemo meds that are 30+yrs old! No $,no research,no new meds or treatment
