    | "Just before the Senate adjourned for August recess, the second highest ranking Senate Republican, John Cornyn of Texas, introduced a bill aimed at tackling a problem that is quickly getting out of hand—the abuse of the National Instant Check System (NICS)."
 
 "The instant background check system was supposedly going to stop only criminals from purchasing firearms, but is now regularly used to disarm law-abiding Americans."

 Since the 5th Amendment (the supreme law of the land) already covers this, why is it even necessary?
 
 And if it is necessary, it should be generically labeled The 5th Amendment Enforcement Act and should apply to EVERYBODY.

                      | You are bound to meet misfortune if you are unarmed because, among other reasons, people despise you....There is simply no comparison between a man who is armed and one who is not. It is unreasonable to expect that an armed man should obey one who is unarmed, or that an unarmed man should remain safe and secure when his servants are armed. In the latter case, there will be suspicion on the one hand and contempt on the other, making cooperation impossible.  — Niccolo Machiavelli in "The Prince." |  |  |
