McConnell: Gun background checks will be 'front and center' in Senate debate

ABSOLUTLY NO PRIVATE SALES!

Just like there has NEVER been private sales of pot, coke, heroin, oxy et al, there will never be private gun sales.

[Vendome]

When the radio host noted that expanding background checks is supported by roughly 90 percent of Americans, McConnell acknowledged that “there’s a lot of support for that.”

Duh Phuck der iz....

FOAD

[Alberta's Child]

Any background checks are useless as long as these two things are legally considered CONFIDENTIAL under the law:

1. medical records
2. juvenile criminal records

I'd say the likelihood of the U.S. government passing any legislation that would actually be effective in stopping "mass shootings" is about zero.

[upchuck]

I’m very concerned, as I’m sure fellow Freepers are as well, that any type of Red Flag bill will be the first, and fatal, step onto a very slippery slope.

[TigersEye]

I think you’ve got it.

[upchuck]

Bump! Every one of those need to become law ASAP. The House is a real stumbling block.

[JamesP81]

No they won’t. It single handedly nullifies the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th amendments. It’s literally everything they’ve ever hoped for.

The republicans are going to sell the left the rope that they will be hanged with.

[DesertRhino]

Coward. Protesters in front of his house, and Twitter shuts down his account. He retaliates by giving them what they want.

Sickening.

[cowboyusa]

Tie carrying gun laws to it.

[AndyJackson]

Complete Border Wall funding to be Attached right???What about Mass Deportations?? What about Criminal Enforcement for Employers?? Asset Forfeiture for Employers that employ Illegal Aliens??

Make the democrats choke on their own bill. We were all for background checks. The democrats rejected it.

[cdcdawg]

The Senate Republicans are going to need hear from the people who put them in office. Same goes for the President. NO DEALS with our 2A rights. NONE!

[MuttTheHoople]

Suddenly I support the protestors outside McConnell’s house.>

Who do you think paid for them? McConnell has a huge re-election comingup. if the Turtle can't generate any sympathy for himself, then he's going down in the primaries.

[libertylover]

They keep saying background checks without naming exactly what they’re talking about.

I don't think that's an accident.

[SkyDancer]

Yeah, it’s all blah blah blab ....

[Lurkinanloomin]

Today those private sales are legal and Constitutionally protected.
Universal background checks will make them criminal.

[SkyPilot]

And I will raise taxes on millions of middle class Americans by eliminating and capping long-standing deductions, and instead give corporations a huge tax cut from 35% to 21%, and make their tax cuts permanent. Deep State members will not be rounded up and arrested, instead we'll just "investigate" for years and years. A couple of miles of the Wall will go up, not hundreds of miles. Oh, and Gun Control! I will sign Gun Control legislation!!!! (applause line)

[Lurkinanloomin]

Notice that it is the same people wearing R jerseys that want to take your second amendment rights that also want to give the country to fraudulently documented foreigners.

Bush League Republicans MUST become extinct before the Republic does.

[GingisK]

It seems the Redcoats are marching toward Lexington & Concord.

[Sirius Lee]

Suddenly I support the protestors outside McConnell’s house.

The dumb assed turtle didn't learn a d*mned thing from the leftist mugging apparently.

[Skywise]

You pass gun control and I WILL sit out the election for 2020 and beyond.
