Sorry. Posting from a phone. I hope you understand.

#39 Only a maroon would get that out of his answer.

The men and women that make up the police force and our elected representatives, as citizens of this country, are indeed guaranteed the right to bear arms under the 2nd amendment of the Constitution.

In their capacity as citizens the being to the group referred to in the Constitution as "the people" for whom that right may not be infringed.

A government office, agency, or job position however cannot be classified as being "the people" and therefore does not enjoy that protection as a right.

Since it can't be construed as a right, the only inference is that it it's a privilege those are afforded not that anyone advocates revoking the privilege.

The monstrosity known as DHS was created in the Bush
Error.
It will always be Bush's Baby. Just like Iraq will always be.
Neither Bush or Obama would be directly involved in ammo
purchases for the DHS.
Congress funds the DHS which means that they have
technically authorized these purchases. Which makes it the
Law. That is where we need to place the blame for the ammo
purchases. However, the existence of the DHS lies squarely at
the feet of BushCo.

Well then, I suppose you are comfortable with taking the blame off of Bush for CIA torture, Katrina response by FEMA, warrantless wiretapping by the NSA, etc. after all, those agencies will always be the babies of the Democrat presidents that created them (Truman, Carter, and Truman again respectively). The political appointees that run the agencies don't matter, neither do the presidents that appointed them and set the executive policy that guides them.

Imagine that: all that hoopla about Bush's failures and crimes was really the Democrat's fault after all. Thanks for clearing this up for me Donnerboy.

Nevermind. I thought the numbers were they other way around. not sad it failed though.

The headline is misleading. While the defeat was during a filibuster, they didn't even muster enough votes to pass the bill by a simple majority so it would have failed either way.
