Wow! When it passes the House, it automatically becomes law...right?

...the apparently diminishing clout of the National Rifle Association...

NBC News knows a lot about "diminishing clout."

1. Good luck getting it through the Senate.

But if it goes that far,
2. Good luck getting it past our President.

but if it goes that far,
3. Good luck enforcing it.

“Democrats taking control of the House has “really given it momentum. Hate to admit that, but that’s the reality,” King said in an interview with NBC News.”

Please allow me to translate for the New York Rep.:

IT WAS A REALLY BIG CHECK!

I’ve seen the author, Heidi Przybyla, several times on MSNBC. She’s definitely partisan. Soviet-style partisan.

All commercial gun sales already require a background check.

Heidi whatever and NBC sounds to be tickled to death but there’s more to passing a bill than just the House.

...vote reflects a confluence of events...


Well, yes. But not the ones they listed. Yes, one is the fact that the D’s control the house now. But the other one is that they are doubling down on leftist stupidity. It will not go well for them in 2020.

Democrats are rabidly anti gun. They are tyrants. No matter what they say they are for or against if you are stupid enough to vote for them they always only move to increase governments power over you.

Fake News from NBC.

Why do they keep repeating the lie that “no background check is required on internet purchases”?

If I use the internet to buy a gun from a well-known NC or KY gun seller/reseller, for example, but I live in FL, I pay for the gun directly to the seller in the other state, but I cannot get the gun until he ships it to a FFL holder in my state and I go there and fill out the federal forms and the required state and Federal background checks are done. And passed. Period. No way around that.

Now if I use the internet as a communication medium, say, go onto a firearms enthusiast bulletin board, and purchase a gun from an individual in another state, the same is true—the seller has to go through an FFL holder in my state for me to do the background check and get the gun. And to ship a gun across state lines, common carriers (FedEx, UPS, USPS, etc.) won't ship it unless they have proof it's going to a licensed FFL holder, and not to an individual, and unless the shipper is an FFL holder himself, most of these won't even ship a handgun, only a long gun. I cannot travel to that state and obtain the gun, not legally, unless I have it shipped from that state to mine through an FFL holder in my state, and I go through the background check in my state.

Now if I use the internet as a communication medium, say, go onto a firearms enthusiast bulletin board, and purchase a gun from an individual in MY OWN state, then I have to deal with my state's laws about formal background checks, but in most states, all I have to do is a reasonably prudent transaction—I am a citizen in my state, not prevented by law from buying/possessing guns and ammo, and I am selling to or buying from another individual, also a citizen of my state who is not prevented by law from buying/possessing guns and ammo. I do this by asking the person if he is prohibited from buying/possessing guns and ammo, and by requiring him to have a valid my-state driver's license and valid my-state concealed weapons permit. I can't do anything about a liar, or someone who has become prohibited since the issuance of his state DL and CCW permit, but I'm not responsible for that—he is. And I for one believe in the constitution, that one is presumed innocent (i.e., not prohibited) until proven guilty by due process. And if I feel any kind of deception or hinkiness in the transaction, I do not have to go through with it, whether as a seller or a buyer. So a background check has occurred even on this kind of sale, and a reasonable one, and yet it's private.

So.....fake news, the “internet loophole.”
