Senator Dean Heller fails Nevada, yet again

Today's vote by Senator Dean Heller wasn't the first time he has failed Nevadans.

But his vote against background checks really showed he doesn't give a crap about where the wide majority of his constituents stand on the background check issue in the gun control debate.

Over 80% of Nevadans thought background checks would be a good thing to keep guns from getting into the hands of mentally unstable people.

However Dean Heller doesn't seem to care what his constituents stand on the matter. No Dean Heller is more beholding to the National Rifle Association & the suitcases of money they toss into Heller's campaign coffers. So rather than go with the wishes of the majority of his constituents, Dean Heller opted to take the blood money and vote no on background checks for gun ownership.

Even in the aftermath of a mass shooting in his own home town of Carson City NV, where 4 people died and at least 11 others were wounded in an IHOP restaurant, Dean Heller couldn't muster the courage to say no to the NRA.

Even a bi-partisan negotiated agreement on background checks weren't enough to make Dean Heller turn away from the NRA and the money they toss at him.

Dean Heller can rest easy tonight, fully knowing he has left the door wide open for a repeat of another shooting of innocents in Nevada and across America. Even 4 people who died at the hands of a disturbed gunman in his own home town couldn't sway Dean Heller from licking the boots of the NRA.

Thank you, once again Mr. Heller, for failing Nevada and giving us the joy of knowing you will stand up for the NRA before you will stand up for your constituents in Nevada!
