She said the legislation included universal background checks and a ban on gun purchases for Americans with a history of hate crimes.
The congresswoman said it’s the Senate that hasn’t taken up the issue, preventing the bill from going any further.
“I hope we can find unity on fundamental pieces of legislation. Not to limit their second amendment rights, and not to change their ability to own a gun. But we have to have this debate in this country,” Escobar said. |

Penalize everybody for the bad acts of an infinitesimal minority.
Yeah, THAT's good idea.

TO REMEMBER |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
