The legislation will toughen background checks for the youngest gun buyers

Remember reading about the 18 year old that has just committed a mass murder? 

Under the "old" law the FBI could not view the juvenile record of an 18 year old when doing a background gun check. The 18 year old appeared as innocent as a new born baby. 

Violent and mentally ill young men appeared to have a clean record. Any "youthful indiscretions" were over looked. A juvenile record couldn't be used to penalize the "adult".  

A dumb well meaning law resulted in the deaths of hundreds.

No, they’ll just buy them off the streets or the black market.

“Today we say, ‘More than enough,’” Biden said. “It’s time, when it seems impossible to get anything done in Washington, we are doing something consequential."

I guess this is what the left need to hear while they divert their attention to another Supreme Court decided issue.

As if on cue, the gun nutters have begun their faux narrative of scaremongering - "the gubmit is coming after all our guns"....

Responsible gun owners applaud these changes - and want more...

The non-responsible "gun nutters" value their guns above their country and above their kids - because they are 1) insecure, and 2) are fed a diet of fear and outrage by the far-right media - and a gun gives them their only sense of power...

Lives will be saved!

And yet those military assault rifles will still be widely available and for sale. Lives might be saved, but how many will be saved? Will going from many thousands of deaths to several thousand deaths be something to celebrate?

No it protects me when a criminal has a gun already.

And when police are prevented by liberal policies from protecting me. Or are late for arrive, refuse to come or when my family or my property is threatened.

Thanks for proving my point. Gun nutters are frightened, insecure, and helpless....

They cling to guns since they give them their only sense pf power...

And when police are prevented by liberal policies from protecting me. Or are late for arrive, refuse to come or when my family or my property is threatened.

Didn't know you lived in a liberal enclave...good for you... Are you next door neighbors with Pelosi?
