On the eighth anniversary of the shooting of former Democratic Rep. Gabby Giffords, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and other Democrats Tuesday announced a bill to expand background checks for sales and transfers of firearms. The legislation marks one of Pelosi’s first acts since retaking the role of House Speaker after Democrats took back control of the lower chamber of Congress in the midterm elections. Many Democrats promised swift action on gun control during last year’s campaign season. |

Hopefully the Senate will hold out on these threats against the second amendment.
If passed the next step will be gun registration because background checks for private sales won't work unless the guns are registered. |

| If you take an oath in a courtroom and lie...you know what happens. "Lying" or knowingly "Breaking" that "Oath of Office" should be considered more severe than being in a courtroom and lying. Persons of little character, or honor disobey their oath. |

Congress has the authority to mandate background checks at retail pursuant to its commerce clause powers.
Private sales are not commerce, and there is no delegated power to regulate them.
Why is nobody shouting this out loud, day after day? |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
