Hey Morons, You're Too Late

From the LVRJ: Demonstrators rallied outside the federal building in Las Vegas on Saturday to protest U.S. Sen. Dean Heller’s vote against more extensive background checks for gun purchasers.
Speakers accused the Nevada Republican of caving in to pressure from the National Rifle Association and ignoring the majority of Nevadans who support the expanded background checks.
Johnathan Abbinett, a longtime hunter and gun owner, urged the crowd of some 150 at the “Shame on You” protest not to give up the fight for gun control embraced by families of victims of last winter’s school massacre in Newtown, Conn.
“The NRA lobby lied and bullied Dean Heller,” Abbinett said. “This wasn’t about taking away or even registering guns; it was about making sure the only people who can purchase a weapon are safe. That’s the vast majority of people.”
Heller communications director Chandler Smith did not immediately respond to a message for comment.
Protesters marched and waved placards at passing motorists before hearing speakers. One protester dressed as a chicken held a sign reading, “Dean Heller is Chicken,” while others waved placards reading, “It’s Still Easier to Buy a Gun than to Cancel Your Gym Membership.”  http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/government/las-vegas-protesters-criticize-hellers-stance-gun-background-checks
You honestly think that Heller really cares about what these idiots think after the vote was taken?
And 150 people showed up and this warrants a newspaper article?  That means about 2,100,000 in the Valley approve what Heller has done.
