So? Isn’t the picture sufficient??

Thanks for the address, I just sent this message:
_______________________________________________________
Please remove the authority of BATF or any other agency in any government to see records of legal gun purchases made by citizens of the United States. We have already had to go through a background investigation. Either we have a constitutional right to have a firearm or we don’t. We don’t have a registry of people who read the Courier Journal or a registry of people who attend the Catholic Church. We don’t want a registry of people who exercise their 2nd amendment rights either.
I have voted for Mitch in every election he has run in. This is liable to be a show stopper for me. He needs to show support for gun owners. I voted for Rand Paul. As I get older I get more conservative.
Please let Mitch know about this email. ALL of my friends feel the same way. Many have gone out and gotten CCW permits because of the way society is going. They don’t want to be on some government bad boy list.
The poor ex-marine that was shot in Tucson would not have been shot had they not known he had guns in the house. He was shot for exercising his 2nd amendment rights. We have gone too far the wrong direction.
Please help bring some sanity back to us.
Most curious. A cross between a RINO and a chinless turtle.
Sigh. What to do when leaders of your own party, which should be upholding freedom, fold like a cheap paper napkin?
Primaries. That’s what.
Grow some stones, MItch. Then read the Consitution.
You’re welcome for the address. Thank you for taking the time to write to McConnell with such a good message. As far as getting more conservative as you get older; don’t worry about it. It’s a good thing.
There is no “list” and BATF has always had all the authority it needs under 1968 GCA to examine any particular pile of 4473’s. Mine have been spot checked any number of times. BATF has zero authority to borrow or copy any particular 4473 and using them to make up a list of gunowners would be an extreme, unproductive, and inefficient waste of effort. When a gun turns up in an event it gets traced using those records which is what they are for. So I have to wonder what the rest of the story actually is——so far it sounds like a big WTF? Besides everybody knows there are 300 million guns in the US and Fed agencies assume everyone has one so again, WTF?

Mitch McConnell’s history:
McConnell has supported several gun control measures put forth by Democrats, including the 1991 Crime Bill S.1241 (see U.S. Senate Roll Call Vote here) sponsored by then senator Joseph Biden, that instituted a national waiting period for handgun purchases as well as a federal ban on semi-automatic firearms.[8] In 1998, McConnell voted for Barbara Boxer’s Trigger Lock Amendment 3230 (see U.S. Senate Roll Call Vote here), which required the purchase of a trigger lock with the sale of each handgun. Firearms dealers who do not comply to force the private transaction are guilty of a federal crime and face revocation of their Federal Firearms License and civil fines up to $10,000 for each omission.
In addition to regulation of fire arms, McConnell has also supported arms control initiatives such as the START I treaty, which he voted for in 1992, describing it as “an outstanding agreement”.[9][10]
McConnell is also well known for his opposition to campaign finance regulation on First Amendment grounds. He argues that regulations reduce participation in political campaigns and protect incumbents from competition.[11] He spearheaded the movement against the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (known since 1995 as the “McCain–Feingold bill” and from 1989–1994 as the “Boren–Mitchell bill”), calling it “neither fair, nor balanced, nor constitutional.”[12] His opposition to the bill culminated in the 2003 Supreme Court case McConnell v. Federal Election Commission and the 2009 Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission.
In August 2007 McConnell introduced the Protect America Act of 2007, which allowed the National Security Agency to monitor telephone and electronic communications of suspected terrorists inside and outside the United States without obtaining a warrant.

My conservative friend and I expressed the SAME opinion today!
If we are going to lose the election anyways due to the INCOMPETENT Republican party...incompetent! and impotent!...yeah, i will vote for a third party...At this rate, what difference does it make if we go down?
I never thought I would say this or come to this point.
So with a “friend” like this why do we need Democrats?
Remove this piece of sh*t from office first chance you get.
