Divided Senate panel approves bill for near-universal gun background checks

Published March 12, 2013

A divided Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday narrowly approved a Democratic bill expanding required federal background checks for nearly all gun purchases, but put off immediate consideration of an assault weapons ban.

The panel approved the measure by 10-8, supported by all Democrats and opposed by every Republican. Expanded background checks is at the heart of President Obama’s proposals to curb firearms. The sponsor is Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y.

Schumer said the measure will reduce gun crimes, and said he hopes he can strike a compromise on the measure with Republicans, which would enhance the measure's chances of passing in the full Senate.

Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley, the top Republican on the panel, said he believes the measure will ultimately lead to a federal registry of gun owners — which is illegal. Schumer said that wouldn't happen.

The committee also approved a measure providing $40 million a year for school safety programs.

The committee postponed until Thursday a vote on a proposal by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., to ban assault weapons.

You know what? Maybe you can tell me where I'm going wrong, but how about an instant background check on the individual, which he/she can appeal if they say it is incorrect, and then that background check is destroyed after that purchase unless the BUYER doesn't want it to be? Why? Because they only want to register your guns. You can not tell what a persons future behavior will be, but you can look at their past. If things are ok, no felonies, psycho behavior, given them their gun. Then destroy the record and get out of their life. But Democrats see even this as not going far enough, so there's no compromise, we must fight gun control.

Yep, gun registration is the real goal. They can’t take over without it.

Does anybody speak the English language anymore??

The term COMPROMISE means that BOTH sides of an arguement get something.

Did the gun rights side get anything??? Iffen it did, I musta missed it.

JUST ANOTHER GRAB AT OUR LIBERTIES— until there are no more.

Obama is saddened. The "criminals" are getting a reprieve.
