Another NRA Defeat: North Carolina Moms Successfully Defend Handgun Background Check Requirement From Gun Lobby-Backed Repeal Effort

That distinction would go to these 34 Republicans. They can claim their vote was a law and order vote. they voted to strip the permit repeal from the bill at the behest of the North Carolina Sheriff's Association, but their actions gave bragging rights to Bloomberg and his minions. They stabbed the people who helped put them in office in the back. We need to remember these people in the next election cycle. We need to send every damn one of them home.
