Strangely, it brings some old movie with Charlton Heston and Roddy McDowall to mind. There was a scene with Heston yelling, and the Statue of Liberty only partially visible above beach sand.

The Texas Legislature doesn’t convene until January 2017. The first filing date for all bills is November 13th. So, where is this bill again? Just sayin’.

How about we do better screening at the borders?

“... the measure would amend federal law to prohibit the transfer “until the Attorney General has verified that the prospective transferee has truthfully answered questions about whether the prospective transferee has been contacted recently by Federal law enforcement authorities.”

okay, so undermine the 2nd Amemdement by first undermining the 3,4,5 and 9 amendments?

The House Historian notes it’s the first bill submitted for a vote that was written in crayon.

Did she read the bill “she” wrote? Have we validated that she can read? Did anyone spell check it?

But it’s OK for media goons like David Gregory to wave a hi-cap mag around on TV in Wash DC.

Background checks will not stop Muslims from getting guns, and that’s the intention.

In this emotionally driven chrisis event, Calif is railroading through a bunch of new laws.

Background check to buy ammo.

No magazines over 10. Older, larger, grandfathered ones would be forbidden.

Parts to make a gun can be called a firearm.

And other laws that make the currently law-abiding gun owner into a felon.

This effort seems to overlook the fact that the shooter in Orlando PASSED a background check. Nothing being suggested would have changed a thing.

And along with everything else wrong and unconstitutional about this proposal, it would have done nothing to stop the Orlando Islamic massacre, nor will it do anything to stop future events of the same.

I support background checks—for anyone running for congress. They need to pass a test on constitutional law written by a neutral party—I nominate Hillsdale college. They need to demonstrate a thorough knowledge of and competence in the use of firearms, since they will be voting on gun-related matters. They need to have demonstrated support during their lives for the support of every amendment in the bill of rights. They need to undergo screening for membership in subversive organizations. They need to undergo psychological tests, with results released to the public. I would bet their MMPI “sociopathy” scores are typically through the roof, right up their with their scores on the “narcissistic personality disorder index.” Then, an IQ test, with results published.

Gawd that is funny. How can people that stupid be elected? It shows the utter stupidity of 700,000 constituents in her congressional district. How can that be? Any way anything she proposes is a sad joke

Background checks will not stop Muslims from getting guns, and that’s the intention.

The intention is to disarm the law-abiding population and make them defenseless against predators. There is no intention of stopping the predators. It is a Government-sponsored protection racket.
