If John Cornyn or Mitch McConnell thought this rushed gun bill would get a rubber stamp and smooth sailing out of the Senate, they didn’t include Rand Paul in their calculations.
He isn’t interested in pushing laws through just because there is a public outcry to do something. He cares about whether the laws being pushed through will conform to this little thing called the Constitution.
He’s not so sure the bill they are trying to pass meets that criterion.
Here he is explaining why in his own words.
He begins by acknowledging the problem that sparked the calls for legislation in the first place.
He opens with support for something in the bill he can respect:
Before turning to the parts that raise red flags. (Pun intended)
If there’s anything he’s been predictably consistent on for his entire political career, it’s this: he takes the Constitutional protections of the citizen very seriously. This case is no exception.
The process was rushed through without proper debate, and Sen. Paul wants the public to understand that.
If McConnell was hoping for the unanimous consent rubber stamp with no debate on a process that was hammered out in backroom deals so this can be done and dusted before everyone heads off for their summer vacations, he will be disappointed.

Psalms of War: Prayers That Literally Kick Ass is a collection, from the book of Psalms, regarding how David rolled in prayer. I bet you haven’t heard these read, prayed, or sung in church against our formidable enemies — and therein lies the Church’s problem. We’re not using the spiritual weapons God gave us to waylay the powers of darkness. It might be time to dust them off and offer ‘em up if you’re truly concerned about the state of Christ’s Church and of our nation.
Also included in this book, Psalms of War, are reproductions of the author’s original art from his Biblical Badass Series of oil paintings.
This is a great gift for the prayer warriors. Real. Raw. Relevant.
