With Democratic Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Rep. Mike Thompson (D-Calif.) and Dan Gross, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, Clybrun called on Congress to expand Brady background checks and vote on the bill Thompson and Peter King (R-N.Y.) introduced earlier this year.

The Public Safety and Second Amendment Rights Protection Act would require background checks for all gun sales to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and people who are mentally ill.

Most Americans would just ignore them. It’s not just invasive and stupid—their flagrant law breaking breeds disrespect for the law.

Yep. Toomey did more than jump the shark. He jumped the frickin’ Pacific Ocean.

The young Mr. Storm Roof is the poster boy for the bill, along with Joker Boy and the Newtown Martian.

...so an illegal alien kills someone (WITH A GUN HE STOLE) and that prompts a crackdown on guns?

Guess we should have more laws against theft? Or something /s

What about background checks for illegal foreigners who come into the U.S.?

Public Safety and Second Amendment Rights Protection Act

ROTFLMAO! Who do these f-----g totalitarians think they're kidding?

They want to require private sales to undergo a background check! It's ludicrous on its face, a bad idea for obvious reasons, and is a clear attempt to register all guns and record all transactions.

The public safety benefit is so miniscule as to be nonexistent! Any convicted felon who wants to buy a gun illegally can easily do so by transacting with another felon.

Yet, if some woman who is being threatened by her boyfriend decides she needs a gun for protection, the person selling or loaning her the gun is supposed to do a federal background check? With a waiting period as well, no doubt! At their own expense, of course! F-----g ridiculous!

The behavior of these Democrats and RINOs is shameful, and their motives are transparently totalitarian.

They can go to Hell, each and every one of them, if they want to enable the State to engage in such Tyranny.

Did everybody read what former CNN anchor Lynne Russell had to say to the gun control crowd after some thug tried to jack them? Said thug ended up dead, and Mrs. Russel and her husband would be ones who were dead if the gun controllers had their way.

The left-wing gun control crowd has a choice:

  1. Let their Tyrannical bullshit Orwellian wet dream bite the dust.
  2. Be prepared to fight a bloody Civil War to implement said Tyrannical bullshit. And this Civil War would make the previous Civil War look like a day in the park.
Those are their choices, and there is no middle ground.

Damn...I don’t think I’ve heard that quote since LBJ said it in 68...you had to dig for that one but I like it...

Almost 50 years later we’re still trying to “disarm the criminal and the careless and the insane.”...

Competent government if I ever saw it...yeah your sarcasm alert just went crazy...
