I can’t figure that out either. I thought it had to originate in the House.

From the article:

“Murphy said Senate leadership agreed to allow a vote on legislation from Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., that would let the government bar sales of guns and explosives to people it suspects of being terrorists.

Feinstein offered the amendment in December, a day after an extremist couple killed 14 people in San Bernardino, California, but the Republican-run Senate rejected the proposal on a near party-line vote. He said the compromise also will allow a vote on an amendment to expand background checks.”

Everyone gun show I’ve been to has vendor tables doing the required checks. Years ago, I saw ‘something’ going on in the parking lot, but the LEOs swooped-in quickly and put an end to it.

Ban cars...cars kill more people than most other things. Did the LIBs/DIMs miss that fact?

The gun shows don’t include checks for sales by non dealers.
This is the so called “gun show loophole” fringe lunatic liberals are after.

They also want to forbid loaning guns, or giving guns to relatives or anyone else. Of course, nothing will stop savage Muslims and other murderous criminals from getting an “illegal” gun.

It is all about control. It is all about fundamental
Liberal control of you.

Another Freeper pointed out yesterday that there are no background checks, waiting periods, or any other restrictions when it comes to buying a senator or representative.

The US Senate is a cesspool.

I thought it was only spending bills that had to originate in the House but it’s been a while since I really thought about it.

Definitely time to call all the senators to stop this illegal bs once and for all!

It won't belong now before Democrats filibuster to get the SCOTUS nomination voted on. McConnell is such a weak leader!

Any senator of either party who votes for this will be voted out at his next run for office.

Democrat voters own guns too.

“The Democrats are thinking that 50 dead people was now justified.”

Considering that the muslim murderer is counted among the 50, the Fraud and his worshippers are only satisfied with 49 dead.

If the Senate passes that idiotic crap, w’ll probably get several. I like reading the sage advice; good stuff.

I’ve got Casey-The-Traitor and Toomey-In-Hiding; both worthless as tits on a bull.

My late grandfather hunted. I recently transported his unloaded, 55 year old shotgun, concealed in the trunk of my car, across 3 state lines and gave the shotgun to my oldest son, also a hunter.

I guess I am and will be a felon on so many levels.
