Texas Senator part of bipartisan deal to strengthen gun background checks (Cornyn)
KXAN ^ | 5/26/2021 | Wes Wilson

A Texas Republican Senator is joining forces with a Connecticut Democrat to pass a bipartisan bill to strengthen background checks on firearms. The change is small but would end an unintended loophole that has led to mass shootings.

Sens. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Chris Murphy, D-Connecticut, have been quietly negotiating this bill, NBC News reported Wednesday, but the senators believe they could be on the verge of a compromise deal.

That whole article is vaguer than the law me thinks.

What are they going to change? If you sell a couple of guns a year you need a FFL?

They never address how inner-city thugs are able to get guns. Never.

Cornyn?

Far too often he back the wrong side.

He was re-elected because the Dem’s knew he would be and that he would occasionally help them.

I think the stupidest move he made was backing the first run up of Jihadi’s that wanted to remove Assad. Of course they milked a huge amount of money and equipment and did absolutely nothing. Some of them later actually morphed into ISIS.

Really bad choice. I called his office and explained how utterly stupid the idea was, of course not even a dumb response.

I don’t trust him. I despise what he does. And I want to keep the Dems from getting a Senator seat.

“The change is small but would end an unintended loophole that has led to mass shootings.”

This is the problem. The narrative is twisted and perverted with false liberal assumptions. No law ever led to mass shootings. Mass shootings are a creation of Psychiatry and their use of drugs proven to cause this behavior.

How? Gun dealers go through the FBI site and I think NCIS to check potential buyers.

If someone is too much of a risk to own a firearm, then they are too much of a risk to drive a car, or operate heavy machinery, etc.

In other words, if an individual is too much of a risk to own a firearm, they are too much of a risk to freely move about in general.

He is part of the gang and he has been in DC FAR TOO LONG!

That said, I don’t want a ComDem in his place.

He is picking the WRONG TIME to trust anything the ComDems are involved in.

He must be TOLD to leave the 2nd Amendment ALONE.

They are trying to do this to change a code, not by legislation.

Bureaucrap.

Safely reelected.

Exactly. One thing you can always depend upon, is for Cornyn to stab you in the back.
