Harry Reid cites fathers suicide in gun debate
There is no level Reid wont stoop to.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid again took the Senate floor Tuesday morning to make a very personal plea for a vote on gun control legislation.
The Nevada Democrat mentioned his own fathers suicide, who killed himself in 1972. Reid pointed out that as a state lawmaker he authored a bill to require waiting periods for handgun purchases.
In Nevada, if you purchase a handgun you have to wait three days to pick it up, Reid said. And it is believed that alone has saved the lives of many people. Sometimes people in a fit of passion will purchase a handgun to do bad things with it, Mr. President even as my dad did, killed himself. Waiting a few days helps.
It was the second day that Reid took to the floor to call for Republicans to drop their promises of a filibuster on gun legislation.
