H. R. 1446 is designed to eliminate the so called "Charleston loophole"; that allowed Dylan Roof to obtain a firearm after three days. Roof then shot up a church killing 9 people.
Now the political hacks intend to punish gun buyers for some nameless bureaucrats failure to notify the the FBI that Roof had admitted to illegal drug possession. |

The question remains, how would any of these legislative attempts have prevented what happened recently in Georgia?
The murderer bought the gun, apparently legally, the same day he committed the crimes. In this case, after the act, he would have to prove he had a cleared background check. Or else, what? |

No background check can affect anyone who has not already committed some act that leaves a record. Period.
many of the mass murderers had no criminal record before committing mass murder. No law would, or could stop that. Anyone who tells you different is selling something. something that stinks...

There are so many guns in circulation today, and so many gun owners, that there is literally no way to make effective fun control. Even if there was a total ban after the 2nd amendment had been repealed (not happening), there wouldn’t be enough compliance to put a large dent in total firearms in circulation. Certainly there would be far fewer firearms carried daily. But the only ones who would disarm are those who don’t intend to do harm.

According to "The News" (I know, I know) the Senate is gearing up to vote on rescinding the 60 vote cloture rule. Earlier this year (2) Democrat Senators stated they would vote no on just a rule change. According to the News, Schumer thinks he has the votes.
If that rule is changed, then all that is needed to pass this legislation and all legislation is a simple majority which the Democrats have. |

That is going to come back and bite them next time they are the minority party.

Look, at first I thought that the Democrats were willing to make all votes in the senate a simple majority to pass, but even Sinema of Arizona isn't willing to do that for certain votes and gun control is one of them because Arizona loves their guns. I'd like to see which 10 senators on the Republican side would vote for that bill and justify to their constituents why they have to go from a 3 day wait to a 3 week wait. I mean, even establishment Murkowski would get slaughtered in her re-election in 2022 if she voted yes for that. I'm more concerned about all the retiring senators like Burr, Toomey, Portman, McConnell and those who don't care if they get re-elected like Romney and those who are actively anti gun like Rubio.
