Republicans prove once again the NRA controls them

See Reich's FB post here, noting that the Republicans were near unanimous in voting down two Senate gun control bills, while the Democrats were near unanimous for them. One would have closed the gun show loophole and expanded the federal background check database. The other would have prevented anyone who has been on the terrorist watch list in the last 5 years from buying a gun. These are sensible reforms to any sensible person, but not to the NRA and their paid Republican lackeys.
