‘We don’t want to take your guns. We just want to control them.’

Fingers crossed.

They want the public disarmed.

You see this Reps. Mike Thompson (D-Calif.) uses examples of mass shootings to promote universal background checks (which will require firearm registration), then when pointed to the fact that his legislation put into effect would not have prevented said shootings, he says that’s not a good enough reason not to have universal background checks.

That’s not even bad circular reasoning.

A useless law without gun registration. And registration has no -realistic- legitimate law enforcement uses besides finding the legitimate owner of a stolen gun and returning their property to them.

I haven’t a clue why the ‘RATS are going to vote. It’s a done deal now that the Nazis own the House. Waste of time.

My new gun controller House rep says over and over she’s for Common Sense Gun Control (whatever that is) - but she respects the Second Amendment!

Yeah, whatever.

How many Felons and Illegals failed a Background Check and weren’t immediately arrested for trying to purchase a Firearm?
= = =

You are asking for a really, really big number.

The background checks are only to harass the law-abiding.

They want to go 1939 Poland on us so bad they can't stand it.

1) A revolutionary socialist party who openly celebrates Mao and Che is ascendant in America.
We probably have 30 million Mexicans and central Americans in the country.

2) Bush and Obama each brought in around 850,000 moslems each from Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Syria and numerous other places.

3) We have “caravans” of central Americans forming and crossing the border enmasse.

4) The democrats are in a civil war and the communist wing is gaining control over anything that would have been a moderate democrat in the 80s. Most of them are foreign born.

5) The new power in the Democrat party cheers when the vote to kill babies that managed to survive an abortion.

6) Around one out of every 6 or 7 people you see came here from a country that does not understand or support any traditional American values, or is an anchor baby of those people.

7) Trannies and homosexuals are sacrosanct and navy ships have drag queen shows underway. Drag queens are invited to read stories to children in public libraries.

8) Desmond is amazing...

9) We are being attacked with almost constant propaganda, which is newly legal to aim at us.

10) Civil liberties are rapidly shrinking in the name of protecting us from.....the animals THEY let in who want to harm us.

11) we are 22 Trillion in debt. We add another trillion per year as we spend 4.4 trillion and receive 3.4 trillion a year.

12) After a few decades of running around the world like a coked up rockstar flopping his crank into everyone’s drink.. a giant percentage of the world has come to hate us.

13) Russia is becoming fairly hostile as a result of being blamed for everything that happens, and for being blamed for Hillary’s email disclosures or corruption, pedophilia, stacking the deck against Bernie, founding ISIS, and outright bribery. The Ruskis know that it wasn’t them and see a President vilified for wanting friendly relations with them. So our old enemy is our new enemy again and is forging deals and relationships with China.

All of this... and you think I will give up my guns? No freakin’ way.

It’s not the only day this week the House will take up legislation to address gun violence.

This writer propagandizes that guns are violent.

How about the truth: human violence.

Conflict. Introduce bill to shoot babies that survive abortions or just because the mother hates kids.

“They want to go 1939 Poland on us so bad they can’t stand it.”

Almost daily, and casually, they openly state that I as a white man need to “go away”, “be eliminated”, that my culture needs to be erased, and that I must be silenced.

The very definition of genocidal activity.

New Mexico elected a radical left all Democratic House, Senate and Governor in November. They are on the verge of passing two dangerous bills that will completely upend gun ownership in the state. First a federal background check for all gun sales, trades or barters between private parties. Second a “Red Flag” bill that allows a judge to grant confiscation of a legally owned weapon on the claim that the owner is a danger to himself or other. NM sheriffs are on record that they will not enforce either provision, especially the latter unless it is accompanied by an arrest warrant for the owner. Most NM county commissions have supported the sheriffs, with the exception of those in the big Democratic cities of ABQ, Santa Fe and (maybe) Las Cruces.

Just in case anyone missed the thread about Venezuelans’ history of “gun control” and their regrets...

As a vlogger I frequently listen to says; “Socialism is usually voted in but the only way out is to shoot your way out.”

Admittedly, if there was a background check and 10 day review on all press articles, things might become a bit more serious...

“The universal background checks measure would require background checks to cover sales made at gun shows and over the internet. Current law only mandates federally licensed firearms dealers to conduct background checks before making a gun sale”

are they lying or they that stupid (or both)?

1. OF COURSE only FFLs can conduct background checks, but they conduct them on behalf of private interstate transfers ... and ALL new requirements for expanded checks would STILL be made only by FFLs

2. Internet sales are already required to go through FFL checks ...
