You people are all nuts! WTH has an expanded background check have to do with what guns you already own??? This was about NEW people who apply for a firearm permit. SMH.
So what's the argument, we should make it easier for them. There are many people that circumvent laws, that doesn't mean that we shouldn't have any regulations.
There are already over 20,000 gun laws in America. 20 THOUSAND! Do criminals follow those laws? One more law is going to make the difference? Really? How about we enforce and prosecute the laws already on the books, OK?
Darkness never prevails. The light will always win. Yes, America WILL win. Voters who support both the second amendment and basic common sense gun laws will not forget this betrayal of the country on the part of the Senate Republicans. We have long memories. We will make this country a safe place for our innocent babies. We will win in the end. You will lose. We love our country and WE VOTE.
many states do not have lists. plus you also have people like me who dont have any 4473's attached to any of their firearms.
...and there have been no issues in those states that have lists, but this vote was not even about lists maintained by the feds, there was nothing in the legislation relative to maintaining records in fact there were large penalties preventing just that issue.

Uh, newsflash in most states you don't NEED a permit to buy a gun. This bill was about "loopholes" at gun shows and online, which DO NOT EXIST. Those "loopholes" are private face to face sales.
Imagine the following:
You go to a gun show and see someone walking around with a gun you like, you walk up to him and say "hey, I like that gun, are you interested in selling?" He says, "yeah, let's talk". That is a perfectly LEGAL face to face transaction between two private citizens. Are you saying that we should NOT be able to sell our own property without government approval? This is the so called gun show "loophole". Private face to face sell.
ALL, I repeat ALL ALL ALL ALL ALL ALL, sells from a federally licensed firearms dealer MUST MUST MUST MUST have a background check. That is the law!
The "loophole" is two people meeting at a gun show and agreeing to sale a piece of personal property. The fact that they are at a gun show is meaningless, they could be at their homes, in a parking lot, etc.
So what's the argument, we should make it easier for them. There are many people that circumvent laws, that doesn't mean that we shouldn't have any regulations.

Yes current background checks do work, not perfectly but they do work that is why they should have been expanded.

If you love your country you should support the Constitution. You apparently use it to wipe your buttocks with.
