Rights. what responsibility do they have to make sure that when my child -- my 9-year-old girl goes over to their house that somebody doesnt play with a gun and somebody gets shot or killed? right. i think there need to be stricter legal implications when it gauls back to gun owners being irresponsible and having a gun in the home. >> i remember my father used to have a gun collection before things didnt go well financially and he had to sell it. my father was fa stiedious keeping it in a gun ca...

Finally it happened and so many hurdles still to come. the first vote will likely pass but only gets us to debating and amending the bill. >> they actually think they have the 60 votes. >> if thats the case but they still have a major hurdle in the form of the house of representatives. id be curious to hear what senator toomey says about what he would tell john boehner about bringing up this bill. this all hinges upon john boehner feeling the pressure to actually bring legislation to the floor w...
