Democrats Kill Greg Steube’s Proposal to Contact ICE When Illegal Immigrants Try to Buy Guns
Floriday Daily ^ | 14 February 2019 | Florida Daily

U.S. Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., tried to amend a gun control bill from U.S. House Democrats to ensure law enforcement is notified when a potential gunbuyer–including illegal immigrants– fails a federal background check.

Looking to amend the Democrats’ “Bipartisan Background Checks Act,” from his perch on the U.S. House Judiciary Committee, Steube used language from U.S. Rep. David Cicilline’s, D-RI, “Unlawful Gun Buyer Alert Act” which has the support of U.S. Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-NY, the chairman of the committee. But both Cicilline and Nadler voted against his amendment.

“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,” said Steube. “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.”

Steube noted his amendment would have “Immigration and Customs Enforcement be notified if an illegal immigrant attempts to purchase a firearm.”

Those weapons purchases are perfectly ok then.

An illegal invader greases a citizen or two or more, nan and her evil acolytes will cheer.

The Democrats are the “Anti-Constitution Party”. Their goal is not for support and defend it, but to take away the Bill of Rights for American Citizens.

The Ballot Box may no longer be a viable route to preserve the Constitution.

Nothing prevents McConnell from Adding it to the Bill when it goes to the Senate, except of course Honesty, Decency, Morality and Virtue which seems to be non existent nowadays.

“Democrats Kill Greg Steube’s Proposal to Contact ICE When Illegal Immigrants Try to Buy Guns...”

One would think....
Then, I reason you would be wrong...
Indeed...

Political hay has just been made.

Illegals committing crimes, especially high-profile ones, are good for the Media’s business - stories spur the sales of papers, digital posts, advertising sales. What’s good for the Media is good for the Democrat Party.

I don’t seem to see where any of these crimes are reported by the media as being committed by illegals. In fact I believe they are buried or reported as just another shooting by a MAGA supporter of Trump.

Further proof that the Dems just want to end law-abiding Americans’ Right of Self Defense.

Hmmmm....? I wonder...

How much drug money “supports” these Judases?

How much gang money “supports” these Quislings?

Calling the AG.....

Oh wait. Aren’t these the same idiots that are calling for expanded background checks? I guess they must mean that it only applies to citizens.

“There are four boxes to be used in the defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury and ammo. Please use in that order.”

We’re well past the ballot box.

Don’t know what news services you have, but I have seen illegals committing crimes reported by most cable news services one way or another. And yes it does sell papers, clicks and eyes.

How does an illegal immigrant obtain a License to Carry or an FID or any such paper from a local police chief? I think that needs to be answered first and foremost. Without it, there is no legal gun dealer who would even speak to such a person.

Guns are only bad when they’re in the hands of US citizens, huh.
