The house passed a bill two years ago, a toned down bill on background checks...the senate whack job minority has blocked it from the floor, where it would get republican v**es.

That is what, at least work on the sensible aspect of expanding background checks and mental health f**gs across the country.

I hope you don't believe expanding background checks will have any effect on reducing violent crime.
Gun Background Check System Riddled with Flaws


Why Did Senate Democrats Block Background Check, Terror Watch List Bills?

By Bob Owens | Jun 21, 2016 9:15 AM ET

If you get your information only from left-leaning politimedia, you might get the impression that last night’s four v**es on proposed firearms bills were sponsored by Democrats and blocked by Republicans.

The first v**e was held around 6:00 PM. Republican Senator Charles Grassley’s bill to increase funding to the FBI’s NICS background check system so that the system had more accurate criminal and mental health data was blocked by Senate Democrats. It had 53 v**es for it and 47 v**es against it, falling short of the 60 v**e majority needed because liberal Senators v**ed against it.

Shortly afterward, liberty-hating Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy’s attempt to force so-called “universal” background checks down the throats of American citizens was defeated on a 44-56 v**e.

Democrats then conspire to shoot down a bill by Texas Senator John Cornyn that would have denied gun sales to people n terror watch lists after a three-day delay if prosecutors could make a case to a judge that the person was an actual threat. Roughly 40-percent of people on watch lists have no known ties to terrorist groups, and were placed there for absurd reasons, such as attempting to book a flight with an expired credit card. Democrats v**ed against this bill and kept it from passing the 60-v**e threshold because it required the government to prove the person being denied their rights actually was a terror threat. The bill fell short 53-47.

Democrats then tried and failed to push their own watch list bill, which would deny the right of any American citizen to buy a gun for arbitrarily being placed on any government list, even without ties to terror groups or evidence that they’d done anything wrong. This direct assault on your constitutional right to due process was defeated 47-53.

When the media spin on these v**es is stripped away and the essence of these four bills is laid bare, it’s very clear that Senate Democrats were attempting to exploit a Islamic terrorist attack by a registered Democrat (and alleged Hillary Clinton supporter) as an excuse to attack the Bill of Rights and infringe on the rights of law-abiding American citizens in order to increase government power over the citizenry and create Soviet-style lists to “unperson” Americans of their rights.

What did those evil Republicans do?

They tried to strengthen reporting to the FBI’s NICS background check system, and pass a bill that would have balanced the interests of the state in preventing terrorists from buying guns with the individual’s right to due process.

The Republican Party has largely been a clown show in recent years, but they’re far better than the increasingly Stalinist left, which drove the ACLU and NRA together in opposition to the Democrat’s Constitution-crashing attempt to allow the government to create and act upon enemies lists.


Tim Scott: 'Painful to Watch' Dems Block Gun Background Check Bill

Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., said Monday that it's "painful to watch" Democrats in the Senate delay the "Fix NICS" Act, which is intended to reform gun background checks.

"It is time for us to act without any question," Scott said on Fox News' "Fox & Friends." "We have bipartisan legislation that would ultimately fix the background system."

"I had the opportunity to speak with some of the police chiefs down in Florida, as well as South Carolina, about what they would like to see," he continued. "There are a lot of conversations that could be a part of the legislative vehicle going forward, and I think we can make sure our students are safer than they were before because of the incident in Parkland."

Opponents to the bipartisan bill argue that the changes, which include improving the background check system but not expanding it, don't do enough.

"Rather than just passing one narrow bill and moving on, we Democrats intend to push our Republican colleagues to have a real debate on gun safety," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said in late February, according to Politico.

"There's a lot of things that we can do," Scott said, addressing his Democratic colleagues.

"Unfortunately, in many ways our friends on the left continue to block the floor because of ability to use 30 hours on each tranche of the negotiations of the process, which is painful to watch, when we know there are solutions sitting there, that could be used, ultimately, saving more lives from my perspective," the senator added. "Remember, the shooting in Charleston in 2015 at Mother Emanuel Church, we could have prevented that had the Fix NICS already been in place."

So tell us, Oh Fountain of All Knowledge Worth Knowing, how would background checks do any good? I mean, YOUR version of background checks? No generalized bulls**t answers; real, workable nuts and bolts. Just how would you, in your incandescent wisdom, go about this?

I guess "wood guru"...is an authority on Morons? { grand Leader?}

Surely sounds like it!

You notice when I asked him to specify exactly what he proposed and how it should be implemented I got crickets. Liberals are like that. Long on generalities with no idea how to go about putting their brainless ideas into action. Universal background checks? How the hell do you plan on doing that? Just put a date on the t***saction before the law. Or don't make any record whatsoever. The only gun control I have ever read or heard of that makes the slightest bit of sense is a safety course. You can do that in an afternoon or online. Perhaps a turn at the range to make sure you can hit what you aim at. Exceptions for veterans who have already demonstrated they can. I have expert rifle and pistol both on my DD 214. I mentioned earlier that it doesn't mean much when the target is shooting at you.
