Democrats this week approved legislation to require background checks for essentially all sales and transfers of firearms -- but rejected GOP-led efforts to amend the legislation to alert law enforcement authorities when gun buyers, including illegal immigrants, fail those background checks.
The House Judiciary Committee voted in favor of the bill 23-15, in a strict party-line vote, sending it to the House floor. If approved by the full House, the bill would be the most significant gun-control legislation approved by either chamber of Congress in at least a decade -- although it stands little chance of passage in the Senate, where Republicans command a slim majority.
Republicans in the House charged that H.R. 8, known as "The Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019," should have included Florida Rep. Greg Steube's proposed amendment to require that law enforcement be notified "when an individual attempting to purchase a firearm fails a federal background check." (H.R. 8 was numbered in honor of former Arizona Rep. Gabby Giffords, who was shot in Arizona on Jan. 8, 2011 by a mentally ill gunman.)
“Clearly, the Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee don’t care about preventing gun violence, they simply are playing politics with Americans’ Second Amendment rights,” Steube, a Republican, said after the vote. “The fact that Democrats do not want law enforcement notified if an individual attempting to purchase a firearm fails a background check is truly troubling.”

So there you go. That’s what they really think about their “common sense” gun control. Lyin’ hypocrites.
Illegals are the Dems ONLY hope for political survival..they dont care about AMERICAN lives, only the lives of those who will vote Democrat forever
VETO
The Demorats don’t have a chance in hell to win in 2020.
WTH is an illegal immigrant even doing interfacing with a federal agency without having his butt thrown on a BP bus and taken to a wired compound?
And who are these sick, most likely anti-American politicians who think an illegal ought to have a fair chance to buy a gun once they do get here? They are already criminals!
It is the future of our children and grandchildren they are screwing with and I am about done with it.
Maybe they should notify the Mexican government when one of their citizens is trying to buy firearms in the U.S.
The truth about the duplicity, hypocrisy, and all around anti-American goals of Marxist RATs and RINO Elitists is evident in their faces.

So they really don’t care when guns fall into the wrong hands. They just pretend to care . . . as always.
These dummocrap-revealing news articles need to be read by SCHOOLKIDS in an effort to counteract the decades-long scheme to indoctrinate every U.S. kid in socialism, homosexuality, gender dysphoria and other nation-weakening policy. If the kids saw what today’s dummocraps really stand for, they’d have a chance.
WHUTTTTTTT???
The Dems only want the Law-Abiding to lose their guns = Republicans
That doesn’t make much sense.

I was going to say the same damn thing but you said it yourself
All Democrats care about is power. End of sentence
I am of the opinion that the President could create an executive order requiring the NCIS to notify all federal agencies, as well as state and local authorities of a failed background check. Heck, make it part of the public record.
They only seem to care to know *who* has the guns, with no interest in keeping them away from criminals. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist or a brain surgeon to figure out why.
From the Party of Gun Control ~ power play is always the end game ~ keep ourselves in power.
Absute power corrupts....
