the not-so-sweet 16

In one of the United States' most lopsided gun votes in the nation's recent history, there was broad, bi-partisan support for a recent pro-gun bill in the Senate. 

Of the entire senate, a measly 16 Senators voted against Senator Vitter's legislation to prohibit the usage of taxpayer funds from the Homeland Security Appropriations Bill to be used for the purpose of confiscating lawfully owned guns in the event of an emergency, such as what occurred in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. 

They were all democrats: 

Akaka (D-HI)
Boxer (D-CA)
Clinton (D-NY)
Dodd (D-CT)
Durbin (D-IL)
Feinstein (D-CA)
Harkin (D-IA)
Inouye (D-HI)
Kennedy (D-MA)
Lautenberg (D-NJ)
Levin (D-MI)
Menendez (D-NJ)
Mikulski (D-MD)
Reed (D-RI)
Sarbanes (D-MD)
Schumer (D-NY)

Of all times to confiscate weapons, though they are all bad, the period directly after a disaster with widespread lawlessness when self-defense is most crucial, is most certainly one of the worst to choose.  These 16 democrats stuck with their anti-gun, anti-2nd amendment convictions and voted against this legislation. 

All OTHER 28 democrats in the senate, joined by every one of the 55 republicans voted for this common sense legislation.

Where are these internet tough guys? Almost all pro-gun posts here 4chan seem to be very reasonable and come from real gun hobbyists. Can't say same about anti-gun posts though... Besides you know nothing about libertarians if you think they're just republicans in disguise. They're very diverse group ranging from libertarian-republicans and jeffersonian conservatives to libertarian gays(such as pink pistols members) and radical minarchists, but generally all support constitutional rights and are against big goverment and freedom loving.

Yet we don't know would Kerry have been even worse. You know Clinton was actually worse than Bush. Bush maybe stupid and incompetent, but only really bad thing he has caused this far is Iraq war. I don't like Bush nor I did vote him, but you can't really say Kerry would have been better.
