I never agreed with pledges on either side. You don't make pledges to a PAC only to the people of the US and the Constitution. Well Gabby's got one for ya I thought should be part of the discussion. Personally I think her pupets are upset they lost this round:
Joe Anti-Gun-
People have told me that I am courageous, but I have seen greater courage.
When my friend and staffer, Gabe Zimmerman, saw me shot in the head and laying on the ground, he ran towards me. Towards the gunfire. And then the gunman shot him, and then Gabe died.
That is courage.
And it's a quality that was sorely lacking on the floor of the Senate last week when forty-five senators stood with the gun lobby to vote against expanding background checks -- to vote against saving lives.
If you're still angry about last week's vote, you are not alone. But it's up to us to do something about it, because if we don't act, no one will.
That's why I'm asking you to join me in supporting candidates who back common sense legislation to reduce gun violence and protect gun rights, and withhold your support from those who don't.
Will you add your voice to mine and make the pledge to become a gun violence voter in 2014?
"I promise you that if we cannot make our communities safer from gun violence while protecting gun rights with the Congress we have now, I will use every means available to make sure we have a different Congress, one that puts communities' interests ahead of the gun lobby's."

We've kicked off our accountability campaign with two radio ads targeting senators who voted against the bill: Mitch McConell and Kelly Ayotte.
The ads are running right now, but this is just the beginning.
Take my pledge promising to change Congress if Congress refuses to change our gun safety laws:

I've always known this would be a long, hard haul. I am glad that we're in it together.
