As of now, they’d still have to file some sort of official court, recorded action, IMO. They are heading there for sure, but that’s why they want these laws eased up. So they can capriciously deny an application based on near hearsay.

And in a strange way, the churches are also to blame because they are “gun-free” zones.

Well that church certainly was. In Detroit a lot of inner city pastors encourage at least some of the members to be armed. I don't know about SC but here in Michigan its left up to the individual church whether they allow guns.

Detroiters are even taking their guns to church. When Rosedale Park Baptist had trouble with drug dealers and car thefts, Pastor Haman Cross Jr. told his congregants from the pulpit that they should consider getting concealed-carry permits.

"I love the Lord; I'm a Christian," he says. "But like I told the congregation, let's send a message right in front. I want the word out in the community, if you steal any of our cars, I'm coming after you."

I learned 20 years ago here in Georgia one does not need a f@cking approval from NICS to buy a weapon if you have a WCL. You fill out the Form 4473 to the seller’s satisfaction and pay for the gun and go. Over and done.

Now, if they revoked the agreement between the state and federal government that a qualified and background-checked CWL holder needn’t be subjected to that, I’d be incensed. Very pissed. They don’t even have the right to put any conditions as to whether I want a gun or not in my opinion. That question is up to my local authorities at best.

I was always taught that I shouldn’t be asking for Devine Help until I’d exhausted all means to manage whatever it is that’s a problem. So Pastor Cross is getting his message from the same place I got mine. Criminals go after known soft targets, and most churches are at the top of the list.

My first action as President would be to revoke, invalidate and rescind EVERY executive order this Muslim ever signed while pResident. Every frigging one of them.

At the podium, right after the Oath of Office.

Bolshies demand guilty until proven innocent, except, where liberals are involved.

While there is plenty of violence in Detroit you generally don’t see the mass shootings in schools or churches sort of thing. While Michigan schools don’t officially allow staff to be armed, concealed carriers can carry in schools as long as they carry openly. Its not ideal but its better than nothing.

There were several people wounded at a block party shooting a couple weeks ago but I don’t count it because that was a gang thing and nobody knows nuthin.

The last targeted mass shooting attempt was 4 or 5 years ago when some idiot launched an attack on a police station of all places. (he’s dead BTW)

His dad gave him money for a birthday present. His son bought the gun on his own.

This headline ‘Dem senators call for executive action on gun control’
I read this and thought this is an act of war now, my second thought was to start driving to washington with my gun.

That’s what I thought I read: that his Dad bought the .45 and gave it to his insane, white supremacist son.
That might leave the Dad open to prosecution and it doesn’t satisfy the Democrats’ constant argument of impotent/not enough gun laws.
Of course there are never enough laws to make the country as safe as Chicagoland.

I didn’t follow this closely.
At first they weren’t sure where the gun came from, then the story was that Dylan Roof bought it and the FBI `screwed the pooch’ on the 4473 form.
I’ll believe this is a graphologist corroborates it was Dylan Roof, and not the Dad.
IN any event, if the FBI messed up why not correct/improve their procedures instead of passing another law that criminals will ignore, like all the other gun laws?

Because the left never misses an opportunity to milk a crisis, like Obama ginning-up the whole confederate flag banning BS at the church because Roof was photographed with one.

Not a loophole, it’s there to keep them from making a political decision or act on orders from a politician to pocket veto someone’s application and deprive them of a firearm. If there’s a problem it’s because government and government agencies can’t be trusted.

If passed, they would slow walk background checks. Blatantly Unconstitutional.

If they are hinting at what I think they are hinting at, they're talking about an "ALL STOP" on all FBI "background checks", essentially stopping all FFL gun sales by executive fiat.

We should consider that a perfectly legitimate trigger for the removal of Obama and minions from office at rifle point by the military.
