Since when does 8 percent of the population get to have total control of an issue?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Colbert went on to make a joke about allowing one\u2019s grandmother to control all the radio stations during a road trip before adding, &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry. I know it must be hard to be in the Senate and find common ground on such a politically fraught issue \u2014 and,&#8221; Colbert paused, &#8220;you know what? [Expletive] that. I&#8217;m gonna take the gloves off.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The comedian then began to hurl a bunch of insults at the Senate.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Some funny, some not so funny.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8220;You might as well let the gun lobby check for a hernia as long as they&#8217;ve got their [testicles] in your hands,&#8221; exclaimed Colbert.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">What was missed in Colbert\u2019s haphazard critique of the Senate is that of the four bills in the Senate, two were proposed by Democrats and two were proposed by Republicans with the NRA\u2019s support, hence one could just as easily blame gun-control advocates for stymieing the passage of new legislation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">A quick reminder of what was on the table on Monday:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\">Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) put forth an amendment that would require universal background checks for all gun sales, including those between private buyers and sellers made over the Internet and at gun shows.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) put forth an amendment that would prohibit the sale of firearms and explosives for those on the terrorist watchlist.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>She introduced a similar version of the bill back in December, following the mass killing in San Bernardino, CA.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>It also failed to clear the Senate.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA) put forth an amendment that would increase funding for NICS, the FBI\u2019s system for running background checks on prospective gun purchasers, to ensure the information is up to date and accurate.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>The bill would also seek to clarify language regarding the mental health disqualifications for gun purchasers.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) put forth an amendment that would give the government the power to deny the sale of a firearm to a suspected terrorist for a period of 72 hours after which time prosecutors would have to go to court to show probable cause on why the sale should be blocked, permanently.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>This bill was backed by the NRA.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>It also failed to clear the Senate in December.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">A new compromised version, known as the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.collins.senate.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/Terrorist%20Firearms%20Prevention%20Act%20of%202016.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"colbert-slams-senate-not-passing-gun-bills\" title=\"Colbert Slams Senate for Not Passing Gun Bills\">Terrorist Firearms Prevention Act of 2016<\/a>,\u201d was introduced on Tuesday by Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>This No-Fly, No-Buy bill combines elements from Sen. Cornyn\u2019s bill and Sen. Feinstein\u2019s bill. \u00a0It&#8217;s not clear at this point if\/when the Senate will vote on it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;You might as well let the gun lobby check for a hernia as long as they&#8217;ve got their [testicles] in your hands,&#8221; exclaimed Colbert.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":59707,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[244,7,25,216,240],"tags":[132,607,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-59706","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-2nd-amendment-r2kba","8":"category-gunsamerica-authors","9":"category-current-events","10":"category-s-h-blannelberry","11":"category-this-week","12":"tag-buzz","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Colbert Slams Senate for Not Passing Gun Bills<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"&quot;You might as well let the gun lobby check for a hernia as long as they&#039;ve got their [testicles] in your hands,&quot; exclaimed Colbert.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/colbert-slams-senate-not-passing-gun-bills\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Colbert Slams Senate for Not Passing Gun Bills\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"&quot;You might as well let the gun lobby check for a hernia as long as they&#039;ve got their in your hands,&quot; exclaimed Colbert.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/colbert-slams-senate-not-passing-gun-bills\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-06-22T21:46:03+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-19T21:29:56+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Colbert.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
