Be bold, be courageous. Americans are counting on you. Thank you. Giffordss testimony was followed by an intense day of questioning including Patrick Leahy and dick durbin taking on the head of nra. Wayne la pierre. Should we have mandatory background checks at gun shows for the sales . If you are a dealer, thats already the law. Thats not my question. Im not trying to play games here. If you could, just answer my question. I do not believe the way the law is working now unfortunately that it does any good to extend the law to private sales in collectors. Worry all due respect that was not the question asked. I think it is the answer. We have to get in the real world on what works and doesnt work. My problem with background checks is you are never going to get criminals to go through several background checks. Mr. La pierre, thats the point.

We will also hear from president obama, who signed the deficit reduction measure into law, part of the deal to raise the debt ceiling. First, Senate Majority leader harry reid and republican Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell will talk on the senate floor about the january fiscal deadline. Since our country voted to return president obama to the white house, i have spoken often about compromise. I remain optimistic that, when it comes to our economy, when it comes to protecting middleclass families from a whopping tax hike, republicans and democrats will be able to find common ground. President dwight eisenhower, a republican, once said, people talk about the middle of the road as though it were unacceptable. There have to be compromises. The middle of the road is all usable space. So said white house and higher. Dwight eisenhower. Too often, we face off, not realizing that the solution rests somewhere in the middle. I remind everyone of one fact. This congress is one vote away from avoid
