CHARLESTON, W.Va. Former President Bill Clinton, in a keynote address to West Virginia Democrats on Friday night, touched on background checks for gun owners in the wake of the Oregon community college mass shooting.
Those of us who grew up in hunting countryand who believe the 2nd Amendment guarantees everybody the right to keep a gun to go hunting, to sports shoot and to protect themselves and their familiesmost of us think its crazy that we dont do background checks, Clinton said.
Ticket sales for the partys Jefferson-Jackson fundraising dinner spiked upon news of Clintons appearance. About 2,000 people packed into the Charleston Civic Center. The speech followed a rousing introduction from U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, who called Clinton the best president weve ever had.

Another bullsh** meme from the bent one.
Will he ever shut up?
Most of us think its crazy that we dont arrest raping @rsewholes who perjure themselves in the face of a federal judge...
Wrong about coal as he was about so many other things. He was the worst President until 2008 rolled around. Carter was inept but he was not running a Chinese communist carry out.
FU Bill!
IMHO, the time for both Clintons to exit the stage is long over due ..
Manchin's career needs to end.
Yes.
That waste of flesh obviously has never bought a gun or he would know that background checks are done.
They wised up.
Are background checks to buy A gun or to buy a specific gun?
Why are serial numbers required during a background check?
Is this guy running?
Nevermind. Every time his wife’s mouth opens, she drops 3 points.
If background checks were in place during the Founding of this nation, the Founding Fathers would have been shot be the British with that information.
We give nuclear weapons to folks without doing a background check.
There is a guy right now in DC with an arsenal of nukes and there was never a background check done on him. No one really knows who he is, his past seems to not exist.
Hey Bill, how does one do background checks on stolen guns? That is what nearly every criminal uses in the commission of their crime.
December 1993
As James S. Brady turned in his wheelchair to watch Tuesday, President Clinton signed into law the most sweeping handgun-control bill in 25 years. “Americans are finally fed up with violence,” the president declared.
Cheers and applause erupted in the East Room as Clinton signed the long-fought-for bill before an audience of law enforcement officials, mayors, governors, members of Congress, and families who have lost relatives to gun violence.
The new law that requires a five-day waiting period and background check for handgun buyers takes effect in 90 days.
Clinton gave us a nuclear North Korea. The obam dusted off that same agreement, hoping to deliver a nuclear Iran. Stay tuned.
