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 |
| ...If a man lies under oath or procures the lie of another under oath, if he perjures himself or suborns perjury, he is guilty under the statute law. Under the higher law, under the great law of morality and righteousness, he is precisely as guilty if, instead of lying in a court, he lies in a newspaper or on the stump; and in all probability, the evil effects of his conduct are infinitely more widespread and more pernicious. — Teddy Roosevelt - May 12, 1900 |
