Proposed law to stop terror suspects from buying guns in U.S. faces NRA, GOP opposition
NY Daily News ^ | November 18, 2015 | Cameron Joseph and Larry Mcshane

The NRA -- and their gun-loving Republican cohorts -- are refusing once more to stop terrorists intent on getting armed in the U.S.A.

A legal loophole allows suspected terrorists on the government's no-fly list to legally buy guns, but a bill to fix that will likely wither on the vine. The federal Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act, even in the wake of last week’s terrorist killing of 129 people in Paris, remains a long shot due to its rabid pro-gun opponents.

"Anything which they feel restricts the use or the ability to retain a gun they’re opposed to," bill co-sponsor Rep. Pete King (R-L.I.) told the Daily News.

"It's sort of a knee-jerk reaction," he said Tuesday. "The National Rifle Association is strongly opposed to it and the fact is we have only a handful of Republican co-sponsors."

One of the most disgraceful screeds that I've seen from the idiot MSM presstitutes in a long time!

It's written for New Yorkers. New Yorkers think exactly this way. They urinate in their underwear at the sight of a gun. And, because they are so arrogant and self absorbed ("I live in "the city") they think everyone SHOULD think exactly like they do and hate anyone who doesn't wet themselves at the sight of a gun.

inconvenient truths...

Since when has truth mattered to the socialists/statists in the media? For that matter when has truth mattered to the vast bulk of New Yorkers?

I “trust” the government to only put “real terrorist” on the NO FLY / NO FIREARM list. They can let the IRS, the BATF, the DNC and NSA aid in compiling the list.

They never quit do they? Scare women and timid men into thinking that this is to protect us and must be done IMMEDIATELY!

Of course we all know what it is really about....gun control....freedom control....liberty control and finally...ENSLAVEMENT.

Hint: Don’t let the terrorists in, in the first place!

Obama:

“Since we’re too stupid to effectively screen terrorists from among the refugees we’re foisting upon America, we’re going to restrict everybody’s access to weapons.”

The bills sponsors are afraid of refugee widows and children getting firearms? Disgraceful, that’s un-American.

“Is this the same ‘no fly list’ that contains the names of thousands of innocent people?”

My mind went there first as well. It’s my understanding that many people are on that list for no apparent reason or because someone else shares their name. Also, isn’t it hard to find out WHY one gets put on that list, and even harder to correct it?

Hard to believe that even the damn libtards would try to present this garbage. The “Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act”. Yeah, right, head to the local gun store and say “gimme a couple boxes of .45, one box of .308. and 25 sticks of dynamite.”

Why would individuals on the terrorist watch list be running around loose anyway?

It’s not “gun loving;” it’s freedom loving and fascist - like the author - hating.

Preckwinkle’s tax-laden 2016 COOK county budget easily passes
Hal DardickContact ReporterChicago Tribune
Preckwinkle’s budget approved, find out How They Voted

Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle’s $4.5 billion budget won approval Wednesday, and people who shop, stay in hotels and file lawsuits will be paying more next year.

Overall county spending is expected to increase by about $500 million under a budget commissioners approved 12-5. The spending plan depends on a penny-on-the-dollar sales tax increase, a new 1 percent tax on hotels and $20 in additional fees for each lawsuit filed.

Preckwinkle’s budget also includes a 20-cents-per-milliliter tax on the liquids that fuel electronic cigarettes and

AMMUNITION TAX: a bullet tax that ranges from 1 cent to 5 cents per round, depending on the type of ammunition.

All told, the tax hikes are expected to bring in nearly $512 million a year, with the bulk of that — $474 million — coming from the sales tax increase. Come Jan. 1, Chicago once again will have a sales tax rate of 10.25 percent, the highest among big U.S. cities.
