Stupid Democrats.
Criminals don't obey laws. All these laws only restrict the rights of law abiding citizens that aren't the problem. |

I reiterate (and I seem to be the only one pointing this out) that there is no constitutionally delegated power for the federal gov't to do this.
The power to mandate background checks at retail issues from the commerce clause. The feds can mandate commercial licensing and impose conditions upon those licenses. Private transfers are not commerce, hence no power to mandate private background checks resides there. One can tediously pore over the rest of the Constitution looking for such authorization, but you will not find it.
Because it ISN'T in there.
This law would be facially unconstitutional. |

| Once again Repressive Democrats show that they couldn't care less about the Background Checks only in increasing the expense, red tape, inconvience and the number of booby traps they can set for the unwary to discourage gun ownership. Open the NICS phone lines to private individuals if they really believe that background checks do anything except promote the Black Market for untraceable guns. |

TO REMEMBER |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
