Harry Reid Employs Sleazy Tactics to Block Pro-gun Rand Paul amendment He’s at it again.* Senator Harry Reid is abusing his role as Majority Leader of the Senate to block a pro-gun amendment that Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) is attempting to add to the so-called Patriot Act.
* We alerted you yesterday to Rand Paul’s amendment that would exempt 4473’s (the form all purchasers fill out when they buy a firearm from a licensed dealer)
and other gun records from the blanket information demands which the ATF can make under the 9/11 legislation.
* In order to circumvent Sen. Paul’s efforts to protect gun rights, Reid scuttled the Senate version of the 9/11 extension and instead tacked it onto an unrelated House-passed small business bill.* He then employed a procedural scheme to lock out ALL Republican amendments, including Paul’s pro-gun amendment.
