A bipartisan group of senators is on the verge of a deal that would expand background checks to all private firearms sales with limited exemptions, but significant disagreements remain on the issue of keeping records of private gun sales, according to aides familiar with the talks.

Republican traitors, Coburn and Kirk, are teaming up with Schumer and Manchin. Juan McCain, Jeff Flake and Susan Collins will endorse.

When will these F'ing idiots realize that criminals do not partake in background checks.

Keeping records? Sounds like registration.

Why is anyone in our government worried about this?

Our government is going bankrupt.

Stop wasting your time on making government more invasive.

Looks like the GOPe fears an armed populace just like the Democrats, the rest of the left and the Marxists running the show.

We have this in CA plus handgun & assault weapon registration. Next January, long guns will have to be regestered. You just can’t have UBC’s without some recordkeeping, which will lead to registration.

Some day in the future we will see confiscation (CA already had this happen on a limited basis).

Repubs who vote for this atrocity have to go, even if it means the seat goes Democrat.

Bob Owens blog:

BarackObama.com wants your gun violence stories. I told them about Buchenwald and the desires of the Weather Underground

And theOne really wants your stories on “gun violence” (minimum of 20 words):

I was thinking of telling the gun violence suffered by the poor people of the Branch Davidians, but I am open to other suggestions.

Another RINO sellout.

RINOs don’t have a problem with big government.

They just resent not being in charge.
They know that democrats are getting the lion’s share of the loot.

I agree. What’s the point of voting for Republicans that side with democrats anyways. I’m suddenly not caring about the top marginal tax rate so much.

Idiots! Their concept of universal background checks will spike home invasions to steal weapons.
But they don’t care. They can shut down sales by having the computer send back a denial to all inquiries. Then what happens? Remember is is a right, not a need!

I thought I heard Coburn say any date base would kill the bill. From what I took of it be the same as current 4473 check, but maybe he's a lyin. An expanded data base be the start of registration/confiscation; time for the Tar & Feathers.

I know that here in Alaska, if Begich votes for anything on the order of new gun control, he's history in 2014 and he knows it. His letter said no new gun control for him. just concentrate on the mentally ill getting guns.

So after weeks of dining in DC’s most sumptuous establishments, the suits have decided on what’s good for the little people.

It should be obvious that the NYC and SF elites such as Feinstein and Bloomberg with their millions and billions in wealth and private security want the average Americans disarmed, before they come for your pensions and property via eminent domain.

They want you Mr Average, to become the victim first if their reckless policies and the dollar fails, while they are very well protected and defended with your police and taxes.

Resolution of whether to keep records of private sales is key to earning the support of one of the Republicans involved in the talks, Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn, who has a solid A-rating from the influential National Rifle Association and could provide political cover for lawmakers of both parties who are wary of supporting the plan.

I'm sick of NRA giving these slugs cover by endorsing them.
