In what is (hopefully) doomed to be an exercise in pointless, political posturing, Senator Tim Kaine (D – Virginia) has introduced yet another bill designed to discourage people from selling firearms to those legally entitled to purchase them. His bill, ironically named the “Responsible Transfer of Firearms Act,” seeks to make some things illegal which are already completely illegal and to criminalize the use of the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) if the system (not the private owner) makes a mistake. Should such a bill find its way through Congress it would be disturbing to say the least.

You mean like the ballot measure to be on the NV ballot in '16? Didn't somebody tell me they have one pending in Maine as well? Or at least the momunists are pushing for it with bloomerbucks.

And this is the “conservative” Democrat in the race. Another Manchin type. Tells you all you need to know.

Hey, Kaine, how about punishing the government agent/agency that screws up!

Democrats and have at least one thing in common. And that is? Just as there are no “moderate” muslims, there are no “Conservative” Democrats.

I stated this on another occasion but it is apropos here as well:

Gun Grabbers don’t care about the actions of criminals or government.

They are only concerned with the segment of the population that is a direct threat to their power by the limiting nature of the 2nd amendment.

Call that segment what you will - Tea Party, Conservatives, etc; the gun grabbers despise the fact that we have the Constitutional Civil right to limit the power of government over us.

As for the criminal element - they only care about that if it directly bears on their lifestyle. Other than that, they see criminal activities as a feature instead of a bug. More chaos means they can call for even more Government control over our lives.
