Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., are joining with 43 senators in reintroducing legislation that would expand federal background checks to all gun sales.
“Our country needs airtight background checks, without any loopholes,” Wyden said. “‘Thoughts and prayers’ won’t stop unlicensed sellers from selling firearms online or at gun shows to people whose actions demonstrate they should not own a gun. Congress must take common-sense action to reduce the chances for these tragedies to strike.” |

Ignorant senators with an agenda to punish conservatives at all costs.
Criminals don't get their guns through legal means.
This bill will only affect law abiding citizens. |

They could GASL about 'curbing gun violence.' To them it's a cheap perpetual punchline to rationalize their statist inclinations.
They're not stupid, they're evil. |

TO REMEMBER |
| In the end, more than freedom, they wanted security. They wanted a comfortable life, and they lost it all — security, comfort, and freedom. When the Athenians finally wanted not to give to society but for society to give to them, when the freedom they wished for most was freedom from responsibility then Athens ceased to be free and was never free again. — EDWARD GIBBON [On ancient Athens] |
