Re: Senate gun violence hearing streaming live - 1/30 9:30am

So, if I want to give presents to my niece, my brother, my Uncle, my dad, my Sister and my Nephew, we need to go to an FFL and pay an extra $30.00 for each present before Christmas to get their background check so they can be surprised by their present? And that stops crime how?

It doesn't stop badguy from meeting houseburgler behind McDonalds to buy the stolen Davis .32 for $50.00 he'll use at the stopnrob later that day.

They want background checks for ammo too now ... that will cost what to consumers and taxpayers?>probably a lot more than it costs robberguy to buy a stolen box of ammo from houseburglar

why is the nra so opposed?

simply because it does nothing to help. Things proven to help are what Israel and Thailand did.
2005
School teachers in Thailand's troubled southern provinces will be allowed to carry guns, the government has said.

Really thought Mrs. Trotter was going to slap him, she asked if he owned a ar15 and something about a 10 round magazine and he said he was exempt from capacity limits. WOW do as I say not as I do
imo police or law enforcement need to have the appropriate defensive weapon to protect the public. But that does not warrant them to own weapons privately that normal citizens may not own. He has a duty pistol, and it should have as many rounds as possible, we have all seen how poor shots the leo's are.
Mrs. Trotter got him again with her accuracy statement in regards to protecting her family.
she told durbin he was a "large" man :biggrinjester: then recanted that he was tall.
there is a caller now, he is a sheriff lt. in shelby county and was upset that he had to sign a form to buy sudafed at wally world and he was in uniform....UH SOOOOO what, the law is the law.

why is nra so opposed to the back ground checks for all firearm sales?
yes face to face sales would be slowed or hindered by having to find a ffl to do a nics check......again so what
overall the hearing restricted the nra answers except when sen. cruz was speaking, wow he is good :anamatedbanana
poor old gabby was exploited again, her husband should be ashamed, I am embarrassed he was a navy man.

cspan is replaying the hearing again in about 15 minutes
background checks wouldn't have stopped
Virginia Tech
Lubys
Columbine
Gabby Giffords
Aurora
Newtown-Sandy Hook
ummm didn't and wouldn't have stopped any shooting that I can think of ... so why pass useless laws that cost taxpayers?

CripsnBloods #1 buying stolen gun from CripsnBloods#2 needs to find an FFL to run a check before CripsnBloods#2 will sell the stolen gun to him?

NRA, and sensible people oppose passing FEEL GOOD DO NOTHING laws, instead of laws which actually protect.

Like after a robbery installing cameras instead of bulletproof glass for example, one makes people feel safer by allowing police to show who killed you later and hope they get caught, where the glass actually protects. It's about the efficient use of resources at hand versus more do nothing feel good laws to supplement the other 9,000 Federal gun laws already passed which also are not enforced..like the new ones won't be.

NRA appears to want to protect people, not make them feel warm and fuzzy at the expense of being safer..
