Forty-six United States senators voted today against a bill that would have required background checks on people who want to buy guns in the United States, including Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker, both Republicans from Tennessee.
In 2007, Senators Alexander and Corker sponsored legislation to denounce states that issue driver's licenses to aliens in this country unlawfully, saying that allowing illegal aliens to carry dirver's licenses presents a risk to our national security.
This leads to the delightful conclusion that Senators Alexander and Corker, and many others, trust illegal aliens with guns but not cars. They're apparently fine with undocumented immigrants going to the gun shows to buy guns as long as they take public transit to get there.
