What do they have planned?

I’m curious too, BMW. They’re definitely up to something. NO ONE is THIS stupid.

I think the administration had something planned on vote day a few weeks ago that was ultimately untied due to Boston. They want to bring it back to make sure it gets the proper, ahem, attention from the administration.

they will bring the bill back when they need a distraction

After all that's come out about the Boston bombers and how they 'slipped through the cracks', I have to wonder what good the NICS system is anymore.

Evidently you can be 'watched' closely by the FBI, travel to and from Jihad central by airplane, have foreign governments prompting the Feds to scrutinize your doings, amass a few Lautenberg convictions, acquire Porsches and Mercedes and Land Rovers with no visible means of support, build bombs from out-of-state fireworks, Get a gun anyway, Twitter your Jihad plans to your mother, still get scholarships to the best schools in New England, attend your US citizenship swearing-in ceremony, and live right down there amongst the liberals in Cambridge Massachusetts being 'radicalized' at the local mosque. If you need a gun, you can attempt to kill a policeman and take HIS gun if you can figure out how to release it from his holster. After your home-made bombs go off, the Feds won't even be entirely sure who you unless they get lucky and you make a mistake while on the lam.

The hell do they think they'll accomplish with a 'background check' through the NICS system that doesn't even record whether you're a mental case because of HIPAA restrictions that protect your lunacy -- much less that you're a foreign terrorist conspiring internationally with terrorists?
