What we need here is an empty useless gesture.
Having a national “Toga Party” would be far more useful than adding new “gun control” laws.
“What we need here is an empty useless gesture.”
Correct. This will be the Democrats’ “Hail Mary” for 2018. They are desperate. Trump has to delicately handle the ginned up millennial vote. Your “empty useless gesture” hits the nail on the head.
If someone is purchasing a gun and the background check involves full name, SSN, address, past addresses, spouse name, phone numbers, email, etc. etc. etc. then what does a ‘tougher’ check look like?
Are they required to spell their middle name? Is the FBI bureaucrat going to ask what color paint is on their house? What kind of car they drive?
In a great irony, ‘tougher’ background checks only confirm what we already know: law-abiding gun owners aren’t the problem.
We’ve got to protect our phoney-baloney jobs, gentleman! We must do something about this immediately! Immediately, immediately! Harrumph, harrumph!
