Dems Introduce Bill to Close Non-Existent Background Check Loophole

On October 28, Democrat Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) , Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) , and Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) introduced legislation to close a non-existent “background check loophole.”

The myth of the loophole is a perversion of the fact that Charleston gunman Dylann Roof passed a background because of an FBI “error”—an “error” which gun control groups have done their best to paint as a loophole ever since.

Man, what a racket. Write legislation that addresses a problem that doesn’t exist, attach billions of dollars of non-related spending, rinse and repeat.

When all you have is a hammer, everything starts looking like a nail.

So the failure was in the government bureaucracy. Libtards' solution: more government bureaucracy. Right.

Checked the constitution for mention of a ‘background check.’

Couldn’t find it.

So...what is supposed to be the legislative “fix” for this “loophole”? Will it now become illegal for the FBI personnel to make mistakes? Does Sen. Warren want FBI clerks and agents to carry errors & omissions insurance? I mean...the “loophole” is a case of some overpaid yet incompetent federal bureaucrats making mistakes that cost innocent civilians their lives. And Sen Fauxchahontas has offered nothing that will address that, frankly.

Yeah. It will be fascinating to see what else is attached to this bill.

That's the scam.

The legislation gets passed with billions of dollars of unrelated spending attached, the problem is not "fixed", so guess what? A year later legislation is introduced to address the same "problem", the legislation is passed with billions of dollars attached to it, the problem is not fixed, so guess what? A year later, legislation is introduced to address....

Wasn’t it Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) that said once that if she could get 51 votes she would round up every single gun in America?

Response from the dis-honorable senator’s office: “We never said that. Just because it’s in the official record and on video doesn’t mean that someone didn’t hack in and put those lies there.”

Yup, nine people would be alive today if Dylan had just failed his background check.
