Ping!
For the life of my I [still] don’t understand how politicians simply bypass the Constitution——all under the guise of “for your safety”.
Facts aside, their oath is to the constitution-—polls and feelings don’t mean crap. There are ways to change it and it requires 3/4’s of the states, 2/3 of Congress and the President....just to start.
It’s time we roll back all these gun laws. Stop with these BS laws on top of thousands of other laws. It states that it shall not be infringed....period!
we need to communicate to PDJT that he should seek repeal of all of the existing “gun laws” and disbanding of ATF (at least the firearms part, though the alcohol and tobacco parts can also go! for all the ‘good’ they do, ha!)
put the employees to work doing something useful and constructive for America.. like, say, constructing our defense wall
Between the lack of holding coup plotters accountable and the above, it's pretty obvious Barr is another Deep State operator.
Every new state drivers license/ID of a participating state and passport/passport card issue could come with a background check.
If one is OK, that fact could be indicated on the passport/passport card/state license/state ID card.
One could then buy a gun within 30 days of issue (within the state for a state ID/license) without going through the 4473 route. The dealer would simply log the ID and information onto a form. The form would have to be kept private and with the gun seller or his successor/estate for between 24 and 36 months and then destroyed, unless law enforcement provides the gun to the seller along with a signed written statement stating that a law enforcement officer believes the gun was used in a crime, which shall be retained by the form holder for at least 12 months.
The old 4473 method would remain available.
My new confidential method would allow background checks to be universally required within a participating state.
The universal background check requirement for a state would be in effect when the Department of State and state both are actively participating.
If I’m not mistaken, Currently the federal and state governments are mandated to destroy a background check record within 24 hours. Clearly that law is not being honored by anybody. I hope he refuses to sign any such law but if Trump does allow a universal firearms background check law then he needs to, at the very least, demand a stringently enforced universal voter ID law in turn and void ALL motor voter laws.
How are Chicago’s laws working?
Nuff said...
The bottom line is that a background check would not have stopped any shooting I remember. What would be effective would be preventing convicted criminals from ever possessing guns, committing the mentally ill to hospitalization and/or monitoring, and allowing stop and frisk in inner cities.
Something like 90% of our shootings happen in a few areas and by repeat criminals. Control that and you’ve controlled gun violence.
But that’s not what socialists really want. They want to control your life and your death. They can’t do that if you can fight back.
Too many Republicans have shown for generations that they’ll pass laws against freedoms, against production on U.S. soil and against the kind of family structure that worked for thousands of years. Then they advertise in campaigns that we’ll be doomed, if we don’t vote for them to save us.
They’re part of the Democrat machine of incrementalism towards hard socialism, chewing up the lives of millions of Americans little by little. The truth is that they don’t like local competition in business any more than Democrats do, and they are obsessed with controlling the rest of us to keep us from rising to compete.
If Republicans really want our votes, they’ll do no more or less than to struggle for our freedoms and encourage us to learn and produce on our own, unhindered by the regulations that maintain the establishment of corruption.
If they cooperate with Democrats against key U.S. freedoms, they’ll lose our votes. It’s that simple.
We’ll not only stop voting for them again. We’ll stop talking to them.
I’ve never heard or read that Trump supported “universal” background checks.
He has supported more meaningful background checks, which might focus more on mental issues and teenage problems with the laws.
