“This is an anti-criminal, pro-Second Amendment bill. Background checks are the first line of defense in our efforts to keep guns from criminals, domestic abusers and the dangerously mentally ill. The American people have had enough of thoughts and prayers. They want leaders to act. Congress should immediately take up and pass our bipartisan bill to close the system’s loopholes and to strengthen our background check system.”- U.S. Rep. Mike Thompson (D-St. Helena) in Thompson, King propose ‘anti-criminal, pro-Second Amendment’ gun control bill [via timesheraldonline.com]

I cannot stand the double talk.
And I can see where Congress’s and the re-pube-ican party’s priorities are.
Repeal Obamacare? Can’t do it…
Cut Taxes? Just don’t have the votes…
Secure the border and cut immigration? Just not possible…
But more gun control? Whole congress enthusiastically jumps up and has a collectivist orgasm at the thought of selling out American gun owners in the name of “bipartisanship”…
I’m tired of these commie traitors, as well as the democrats…
Bipartisan? As in a compromise in which the Republicans get something they’ve been wanting to pass for passing what is essentially a UBC? Like how about passing a national conceal carry bill as part of this “compromise”? Or how about outlawing GFZ’s on federal property?
No?
So once again there is “bipartisan” support in getting more gun control where we give up more of our gun rights, just not as much as the gun controllers want, with nothing given back in expanding other gun rights.
“The People” have had enough of political grandstanding (unless you’re a MA Democrat, apparently), which is why Trump is our President. Get with the times, and try solving a problem instead of pushing it off on a flawed system, and patting yourself on the back.
Never, Never, Never trust a politician especially not a Democrat!!!!!
Another lawmaker who doesn’t know already existing laws and try to close loopholes that don’t exist.
This guy would fit perfectly into the anti-democratic and anti-liberty EU Commission.
“Make your own damn sandwich! “
Yeah I could tell they were airguns from a glance. Sure, number 6 looks close since I can’t really tell what’s an open port for a CO2 cartridge or an open port for a magazine. But everything else is pretty obviously not a real firearm.
If we’re going to have harsh sentences put on us by elected officials, how about, when an official is caught lying or breaking any law, they are sentenced to life imprisonment? All in favor….
Here in the former-Constitution State ALL sales private and commercial require a state given “authorization number” to do a sale. It only is done by the law abiding gun owners; criminals still lie, cheat, steal and get their guns without… The law is a joke; they plea bargain criminal gun crimes but double down on the legal gun owners
In reality you won’t see it under such controlled conditions. When some asshat points it at you in the evening, it will look real enough to 100% justify lethal force.
They all look real enough in the split second someone has to make a life and death decision. Sitting on the table, I can easily tell that several are CO2 or air pump guns, because I’ve owned them myself as a kid. #1 is the easiest to recognize, but I wouldn’t risk my life on being wrong. I’d rather risk the life of the one brandishing it, threatening people with it, and refusing police commands to disarm.
I clicked on the Henry ad a dozen times and it won’t do anything at all.
Whoopi, nothing to hide.
Hey Whoopi, do you use marijuana? Do you openly admit it? Like to see her answer to ATF 4473 11e.
Love how Bill Maher on his show constantly talks about smoking marijuana. Like to see his answer to ATF 4473 11e.
Only way they obtained their guns is if they answered no to 11e. If they lied, they falsely represented themselves on ATF Form 4473. Possible felony?
Alan Korwin has the answer: Unilateral Background Checks

Mike Thompson is not a Fudd
This proves nothing. Real or not, a gun is only as dangerous as the person who’s holding it.
The last one was Wednesday November 1, 2017. The next one will depend on when/if something on my list goes on sale.
It’s probably true that such equipment isn’t protected by the 2A. One reason why it’s important to recognize that rights don’t begin and end with the Bill of Rights.
There’s an assault underway in the media and the leftist progressives who want to turn the US into a Stalinist Russia or a Mao China. If there is any tool that can be used to fight or evade/escape from their KGB or Gestapo thugs, they want them banned. Guns are number one because they actually can be used against them and their agents, night vision goggles can help in low light evasion. Soon they’ll be asking why anyone should be able to buy and own a gas mask without a background check and 6 month waiting period.
After that it would be solar generators, water filters, people who plant gardens… make no mistake the fascist Marxist progressive left wants to control the American people like the Soviets did their own people.
