NRA: Fighting To Let Convicted Stalkers KEEP Guns!

[Howey]

They don't care if crazies carry guns and they don't care if stalkers do either?

The National Rifle Association is fighting proposed federal legislation that would prohibit those convicted of stalking and of domestic violence against dating partners from buying guns, according to a letter obtained by The Huffington Post.

Federal law already bars persons convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence from purchasing firearms. S. 1290, introduced by Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), would add convicted stalkers to that group of offenders and would expand the current definition of those convicted of domestic violence against "intimate partners" to include those who harmed dating partners.

Aides from two different senators' offices confirm that the NRA sent a letter to lawmakers describing Klobuchar's legislation as "a bill to turn disputes between family members and social acquaintances into lifetime firearm prohibitions." The nation's largest gun lobby wrote that it "strongly opposes" the bill because the measure "manipulates emotionally compelling issues such as 'domestic violence' and 'stalking' simply to cast as wide a net as possible for federal firearm prohibitions."

You hate guns we get it.

So much for someone's "rights", typical far left thinks they are the only one who should have "rights" and then suppress it for anyone that is not far left.

Convicted stalkers have a right to carry? Does the woman they stalk have a right to life?

Depends on whether it is a felony or not, at least in the real world.
