Expanded background checks fails in Senate

[OODA_Loop]

I'll give you a hint: What does the "AR" in AR-15 stand for? Liberals did not name the AR-15. Gun manufacturers did.

Armalite Rifle.

 

[Vandalshandle]

There are ten companies that build and manufacture AR 15's

AR-15 Manufacturers & Builders

I stand corrected. They are all merchants of death....

GOP to America: Newtowns and Auroras and VA Techs are acceptable, safety is not.

Apparently the Iraq War Debacle didn't sate the conservative lust for innocent blood.

From now on, all mass shootings are the fault of Conservatism.

I don't understand what the problem with this bill is.

Someone will have to explain why it didn't pass even though it won 54-46 in the Senate.

How are universal background checks an infringement on the 2nd Amendment?

Aren't the Constitutionalists here not aware of the part of the 2nd Amendment that clearly says, "well-regulated"?

The problem is that background checks wouldn't have changed anything in Newtown, or Aurora, or for Gabby Giffords.

The Bam loses, and big.

So you're saying you're for just anyone buying a gun from a trade show and it's okay not to do a background check on that person because of 3 incidents where background checks weren't the problem?

Any dealer selling at a gun show must do background checks it is already the law.

Also, I find it amsuing that liberals are always accused of hysteria by not acknowleding the difference between a semi-automatic rifle and an assault rifle.

I find it hysterical they've spent 12 years obsessing over the fact Bush sat for 60 seconds in a classrom on 9/11. But don't care that Obammy just said terrorist bombings? Eh I don't fell like talking about that. As a matter of fact you all need to delay your talking about it until I am done with this.

I find it compelling you cant find one bit legislation or push of Obama regarding punishing criminals for gun crimes and increasing the same.

So all that was accomplished today is that the gun nuts got to preserve the ability of felons and crazy people to legally dodge background checks.

...so gun manufacturers can be assured of selling as many guns as people want, regardless of who those people are.

...thus arming felons and crazy people.

Correct?

Anybody.

A gun manufacturer must sell through an FFL who can't sell without a background check. The already illegality of selling to or possession of a gun by the prohibited persons you name nothwithstanding.

 

[hortysir]

this also proves the clowns on the right we talk to here do no represent more than 10% of the American people

Here in FL, when I purchase a firearm, the seller runs a NCIC check for felonies and domestic violence charges.
What other personal information would you like?

No they run NICS check, you might want to get your acronyms straight.

S, C......wife doesn't like a lot of light. I do alot of my typing in pretty dim light and I'm too lazy for editing.
Ya'll can put up with TM's spelling, I think you'll manage a letter here and there or a semicolon instead of an apostrophe


Nice avoidance of the point, though

 

[Vast LWC]

Just so that we're completely clear...

Anyone who was against this bill does not have the right to say another word about "Fast and Furious". Ever. Again.

I'm a gun owner, a supporter of open carry laws, and a I'm against any kind of assault weapon ban...

But this one was a no-brainer.

Sucks to be you I guess.

On the other hand, a win for liberty...and common sense.

I see some Democrats finally come to their senses.

Yes, even Prince Harry, but I understand that was only for a political reason that would let the issue stay alive??

A gun manufacturer must sell through an FFL who can't sell without a background check.

But, after initial sale, said gun can then be sold without a background check.

What was your position on Fast and Furious, by the way?

You mean a federal agency selling to people in another country?

Get apples and oranges confused often?

Once a firearm has been purchased by a private citizen, that person can sell it to someone else without being under any legal obligation to conduct a background check prior to reselling the weapon. True or false?
