As the country mourns another mass shooting in Colorado, lawmakers in Washington are once again confronting calls for gun reform.
“This should not be a partisan issue, it will save lives, American lives, and we have to act,” said President Joe Biden.
On Tuesday, Biden called on the Senate to pass two bills the House recently approved that change background check laws.
The first bill would require background checks on nearly all gun purchases, including transactions involving unlicensed or private sellers. The other bill would aim to close the “Charleston loophole,” which allows the sale of a firearm to proceed if a background check isn’t completed within three days, by expanding the review period to 10 days. |

QUOTES
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"Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times.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 For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in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 If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal.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) |
