“...strengthens background checks ...”

Just curious...How do they “strengthen” a background check?

PA already does NICS and state level PICS. If you’re a criminal or a mental history patient, it shows up immediately and you’re denied the transfer.

This is Political Weasel-speak for outlawing private long-arm sales and family pass-down, nothing more. Handguns already have to be transferred by an FFL, and PA SP keep a database (which is illegal by the way).

But once again, only “law-abiding” people do things this way. It prevents ZERO crimes, because the scumbags committing the crimes don’t follow the law.

It’s never been about crime; it’s always been about removing our collective ability to tell THEM to “GFYselves”.

We will fight this to the end of our days, just as we have been doing since Slick Willie was in office.

PA Reps (GOP, of course) are working on passing a 2nd Amendment Protection bill to nullify federal level attempts to take our rights. We have the House, the Senate, and the Governor house.

We’ll see.

RE :"Just curious...How do they “strengthen” a background check"

From what they say there is a loophole in the background checks law that exempts large numbers of guns being sold at time. Up till recently the NRA said they supported them because it makes little sense to allow legal gun sales to a convicted drug dealer for example.

In the case of background checks to stop sales to already convicted criminals its not a good argument to claim there should be no checks because only law biding people will go through the checks.

'Why have laws if only law biding people will bide by the laws? ' is circular reasoning,

Now if the argument is that some officals use that info in ways tht are illegal then you can add another poison pill that specifies a painful punishment for doing it, like a fine, and money for enforcement./

yep, one of the azzholes on that cnn pep rally said [paraphrased] a "felon can currently walk in and buy a shopping cart full of ammo, which, by the way, is illegal for him to do"...

what part of disconnected 'duh' do these commies live in ??? or should i say their constituents ???
