You're just a internet troll. No links. Just opinions and mischaracterizations that you try to pass off as facts.Complete with on topic link.
I know what you mean. This happens all the time. Rather than ignite the powder keg by posting links and example of this behavior you've pointed out which will just hijack the thread, I'll accept your premice.
Are you a member of the media, summarizing what "Republicans want?" Plantation dweller, please. BTW, the large majority of guns sold legally in Texas are sold "with a background check." Despite what the Idiot In Chief says.
As are the firearms in all states.
Exactly. A few days ago, four bills were introduced, 2 by Dims, 2 by Repubs. Each bill was voted down by party line pretty much. I believe one bill was actually "approved" by the NRA.
Just one problem with the NRA approved bill. It is impossible to conduct an investigation (not a background check) in 72 hours.
If passed, the attorney general can delay a weapons purchase by any person who is either a known or suspected terrorist, or has been subjected to a terrorism-related investigation within the past five years for three days. Law enforcement would need to get a court order within that three-day window in order to stop the sale, should probable cause be shown before a judge. The bill also allows for the attorney general to take the buyer into custody if a judge determines probable cause.
The Cornyn bill, which is the last version that I saw, creates a really impossible hurdle for the FBI. If they have someone under investigation, they're going to have three days to mount a court challenge to block them, expose their investigation, and create an environment where that terrorist, now being notified, will say, "You know what? Instead of going to that brick-and-mortar federally licensed gun dealer, I'm just going to go buy off the internet." That's where it falls down.

Again you have no concern about your intellectual dishonesty. The NRA leadership doesn't no cheer everytime is shot but would likely make an exception in a few cases. Originally Posted by gnadfly
