Sen. Reid, Make Them Filibuster Gun Control on the Floor
It is clear that a minority of the Senate is trying to block even the most modest gun control legislation through a filibuster.
Senator Reid, if they find 40 tea-party votes to block this legislation, please do not pull the bill from the floor. Make Senator Cruz, Rubio, Paul and company stand in the well and declaim their desire to block background checks for hour after hour. Physically filibustering a bill supported by 90% of the American public will show them to be unreasonable extremists to a wide swath of the American People.

Why is this important?
My 10 year old son attends an inner city school in Washington, DC. He is consumed with concern that another Newtown could place.
