None of the proposals would have prevented the shooter from getting the guns he had.

Completely illegal and unconstitutional.

So what else is new? The Constitution hasn’t stopped him from issuing royal edicts for the last 6-1/2 years, why stop now?

The BATF has never issued a number, because it knows a number can be used as an absolute defense.

If they put the number at 50, then everyone will feel free to sell up to 50 without a problem.

Not only that, buy you can sell 50, then your wife can sell 50, and your adult son can sell 50. Since no records have to be kept, to prove a case, the ATF will have to find records of 50 sales in a single year to prosecute.

Aren’t most gun sellers required to do background checks?

That is not the purpose. The purpose is to gradually impose more and more gun control law until they incrementally ban the private ownership of firearms.

ATF officials, moreover, objected that it would be hard to enforce and that it was unclear how many sellers would be affected by the change. “Everyone realized it would be hugely politically controversial,” said one individual, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private discussions.>>

bogus just to get s talking about it
secondary sellers already do background checks. the mythical gun show loop hole. Private sellers can’t be touched because they are after all private.

Anyone who enforces those laws have violated their oaths, are cowards, traitors, and worthy of death.

What makes you think 0bama, or any politician for that matter, actually cares about the Constitution?

Seriously: we must assume that ALL of them view the Constitution as something to be ignored, circumvented, thwarted, or simply ignored, unless they prove conclusively that they view it otherwise.

Soon, the Moslem Tyrant will just put the submissive
complicit EXEMPT Congress into death camps.

...... And no American will even notice or care.

Expanding background checks in what way exactly? What other background checks do you suggest or are you just politicizing gun control yet again?

Not on individual sales in state. What should be looked at is everything hidden in the edict. Will they regulate ammo sales? Will they regulate mags and accessories? Will they drive up the prices?
