The 90% is also based on the nebulous questioning relating to "Do you support background checks to prevent criminals from getting guns?". Even I would answer yes to that. The proposed legislation was just too strict for sane people to accept.
Our jellyfish of a leftist Pa senator one Bob Casey voted for it, and the sniveling little creep also voted to give the United Nations sovereignty over our right to own firearms in that other bill.
His father would be disgusted with him, but Bob Jr. apparently has little respect for his late father so he wouldn't care.
Then why the hell not have that be the only thing in the bill. Leave everything else alone and pass a bill simply expanding checks?
They didnt do that yet running around today whining about background checks, but refusing to discuss everything else in the bill. You can blame yourself and those that wrote the bill, not those who voted against it.
And really. Thugs and those bent on murder would find a way regardless to either get a gun, or use something else like a bomb.
It was. Everything was voted on individually. The background check amendment was voted on as just that, there was nothing else attached to it.
It doesn't matter if it's a long gun or handgun, buying one pistol or 100 AR-15's, private sales do not require any kind of background check what so ever. Thugs and mentally ill don't care, as they know they can get guns easily with this loophole. If they had to pass a simple background check, they wouldn't even bother, or would be refused the sale from failing the check.
This is just common sense.
Lanza couldn't buy a gun. So he murdered his mother and took hers.
"They wouldn't even bother" eh ?
if you'll pay attention to the list, note the items concerning Americans the most, Dear Leader is concerned with the least...
Obama's embracing of a gun control bill was a simple, but pathetic, attempt to deflect from the utter failure of his administration with regard to the economy and jobs. He exploited the deaths of innocent children for political gain. Bottomfeeder of the worst kind. What is even worse is the number of people that actually fell for his teary-eyed bleating about the childrun.
This discussion is about the background checks. Everyone is screaming the 85-90% claim is a lie, even though FOX and Rasmussen polls say so, and yet no one has any other figures to offer. If 85-90% is a lie, then what is the truth?
I agree that the other proposals about the "assault" weapons and high-cap magazines deserved to be rejected, and were expected to be rejected, but the rejection of the background checks makes no sense.
For those of us that don't put a lot of credence into polls....how are we supposed to provide you other figures? Take a poll?? LOL!
However,the 4% Gallup poll..since you like polls.... about what Americans are most concerned with should be a start.

Common sense is knowing that passing more laws will not prevent a criminal from getting a gun....
But, lets play your "feel good" laws did pass....even your vp says they don't have time to proscute the current people who broke the current laws and were caught....
Please explain how more laws are going to help this?

That is my impression as well. There were a separate proposals for "assault" weapons ban and high-cap magazines, and they were rejected as expected, but the expanded background checks was expected to pass, because of the 85-90% support by the citizens.

You mean the dems also waived the middle finger at the people, I thought that could never happen?
