GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY?

[HairOfTheDog]

Didn't expect the gun and ammo bans to pass, but really thought that universal background checks most likely would.

The problem the fux had was in trying to ram a bunch of other stuff in there with it. I pulled and read S.649 today just to actually see what it said. The part about putting nuts in the NICS should have taken up 2 pages in its entirity, this thing is 26 pages. You know they wanted $400,000,000 for this? They also criminalized me selling any weapon except through a FFL dealer. They also dolled out a lot of $ to all kinds of education programs, some even possibly good.
Nothing in there though would have dealt with the problem, nothing direct to get nuts in the database.
They tried to run a bunch of BS through, same dishonest shit they always do.

Thanks, Six. I'll check out S.649.

Frustrating how much shit gets piggybacked onto valid bills in attempt to ramrod it through legislation; happens way too often. If that's the deal with the universal background check proposal, it's a good thing if it gets rejected.
