An influential Gun Rights Advocate actually helped write the Background Check Bill coming up before the Senate this coming week. Alan Gottlieb, Executive Vice President of the Second Amendment Foundation, speaking candidly at a GOP gathering on Friday claimed that his staff had actually helped write the bill. He went on to describe how the Bill would be a step in the right direction for gun control advocates. "There's a Million other checks in there it's a Christmas Tree," bragged Gottlieb, "We just hung a Million Ornaments on it."
"Unfortunately some of my colleagues haven't quite figured it out yet because they weren't standing in the room writing it. My staff was. I'll be perfectly candid about it. This will probably break on Monday in the Wall Street Journal. "

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Yeah, I don’t get it either.
My guess - since it would never make it out of the House, it’s so they can get the losers on record with their position and throw them out next time around.
So, after all the lawyerspeak, he’s claiming that this bill is basically pro-gun? I’ll think I’ll stick to my guns and skepticism.
Folks need to listen to the entire video. While none of us is happy about any gun bill going thru, it does sound like they’ve put lots of good things, good protections, in this that will benefit gun owners. I just hope it doesn’t get gutted & stuffed with bad stuff when it hits the Senate floor. Always a possibility...
I think that what he was calling ‘checks’ were the checks being installed on the feds to keep background checks from being turned into a gun registration program.
This all seems very mysterious and unclear.
I can’t tell what the heck is going on.
Is the SAF guy betraying the 2nd amendment?
Is the SAF guy helping protect the 2nd amendment?
just damn
Anyone who truly supports the 2nd amendment would be standing their ground on elimination of background checks altogether.
Any man who is too dangerous to own a gun is too dangerous to walk the street.
What we need to understand is that the left has infiltrated almost every group and is sowing the final seeds of our demise, must say however I won’t do well in a re-education camp, I think it is the I don’t like idiots thing.
“I just hope it doesn’t get gutted & stuffed with bad stuff when it hits the Senate floor. Always a possibility...”
It is the Senate. Gottlieb won’t recognize it after they get done with it.
Amen.
I would not bet on it not making it out of the House.
Bull, bull, BULL. This is exactly what was said about the 1986 Firearm Owners Protection Act that gave us national safe passage of firearms (ignored by states such as New York and New Jersey) in exchange for closing the National Firearms Registry, closing lawful civilian ownership of new automatic weapons.
That was said about the 1994 Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act (A.K.A Clintoon's Assault Weapons Ban) that banned "assualt weapons" and magazines over 10 rounds capacity in exchange for clarification of who is a "banned" individual and for stiffer gun related crime penalties.
No, the answer is NO EFFEN' WAY to any new law. NO!
No thanks. The 2nd Amendment is good enough for me. Is this guy an infiltrator and how old is his staff?
Ping!
I rather see straight constitutional carry but we are where we are.
