Sen. Susan Collins' attempt to keep firearms out of the hands of potential terrorists just picked up its most powerful backer yet: Harry Reid.

I live in Maine. I can’t stand Collins.
She gets a lot of support from dems and independents. They can have her.
When she was up in 2014, I wrote in the name of a guy I know who failed is his bid four years ago for a seat in Maine’s state senate.
If Dingy Harry is in favor of it should be voted down or not even allowed to come up for vote.
Yep.
If you are trying to draw a parallel, it doesn't work. Every time a person approaches the TSA, a background check is performed. The test at that point is simple, on the list, or not on the list. Same is true with the NICS system. On the list, or not.
Whether you are on the list or not isn't the objective. The objective is that the public conclude that it is appropriate to submit to a check, or be denied. Essentially, to accept that government permission or approval be required to participate.
It's an inbred club of NorthEastern Establishment/Rockefeller types. Cohen, Snowe, McKernan. Definitely a closed club. The moonbats up her rival the moonbats in Massachusetts, Florida and California.
Dingy is just looking for a way to get the camel’s nose under the tent flap. He’d back a bill if all it said was that the NRA and American gun owners are a bunch of gunkies.
Heck, write in your own name. ANY FReeper is going to be better than her!
The Democrat wet dream for the USA!
From Berlin on January 6th the German official radio broadcast—”The German military commander for Belgium and Northern France announced yesterday that the population would be given a last opportunity to surrender firearms without penalty up to January 20th and after that date anyone found in possession of arms would be executed.”
I agree but the republicans let the democrats set the slogan about terrorist allowed guns by GOP. GOP never should have let that go without fighting that slogan. I can’t imagine any American wanting a terrorist to have a weapon. But as always the GOP dropped the ball on message.
If the gun control lobby were given everything they now claim they want, there would be another shooting maybe this time with evil “sniper rifles” (typical bolt action scoped hunting rifles) and the screams for “sensible gun control” would resume... Or it would be handguns, or whatever.
The end goal is a total gun ban, and any gun control advocate that truly understands the subject would admit that if they were honest.
That should be the kiss of death right there.
He should be more concerned with EXERCISE MACHINES named VITO... he he
