Then you’re busted. If you have to stop for gas, then go around.
So, the watch list bill left me conflicted.
The other three bills I thought made sense and can’t believe they didn’t pass. It reminded me a lot of the Patriot Act that got pushed through after 9/11. It becomes guilty until proven innocent and basically allows the federal government through the FBI to place anyone on the watchlist for an open ended amount of time with no clearly defined threshold and restrict rights. Right now, it seems like a practical measure (just as the Patriot Act did), but it sets a precident. In 10 years, who’s to say who will be on that list. In 20, it could leak through to other Minority Report like measures based on suspcion of a crime that hasn’t been committed.
I’m not as passionate about this stance, I could take it or leave it, it just didn’t feel right to me.
Here’s how the Senate voted on the first Republican-sponsored gun control measure:

Why would any sane democrat (or basically all of them) vote against those republican backed gun measures?!?
This entire debate I’ve been saying that nobody cares about gun control, just generating media hype and politics. If you need evidence, here it is.
They probably all getting some money from the NRA… republican or democrat
They’re on the same team and we are the fools. Need proof. Watch how both parties are ganging up on Trump. The establishment is real. But, let’s keep arguing with each other while more control and power is wrestled from the people. Nothing to see here.
hey, where’d you buy your tinfoil hat? Or did you make it yourself?
^Right. Just a bunch of people trying to promote what is important to their constituents. Silly me.
The reason (outside of pure politics) they voted ‘nay’ was because of how people can potentially end up on the terror watch list. here’s a little summary of how any of us could end up there (numbers 3, 4, 5, & 7 are of particular concern): http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/07/25/terrorist-watch-list_n_5617599.html
If the terror watch list was a little more fool-proof, these measures might garner enough votes. However, as it stands now, any American can end up on the list without reason or fact. The way these childish anti-gun activists are, they would write-in every gun owner they can find, starting with Wayne LaPierre, just to put him on the list.
So was Igor paid for his post or is he one of those gullible low-information types and really had no clue what really happened in the Senate?

Didn’t one of the republican bills prevent people on government watch lists from buying guns? If so, why vote yes on the democrat bill and then no on the republican bill, or yes on the republican bill then no on the democrat bill? Seems to me that at somepoint yesterday, every member of the senate voted to keep people on watch lists from buying guns, they just didn’t do it at the same time.
This reeks of politicing instead of legislating and both parties are guilty.
just screwing with you bro. that’s the reaction i typically get when i speak this type of truth. lots of people on here with their heads burried in the sand.
does the gun shop owner tell you that you flunked the background check because you are on the terror watch list?
both
I don’t know? What are people told when they fail the background test for a different reason? What are people told when they’re not allowed on an airplane?
Not real sure how the gun shop handles that. I’m not sure if the gun shop would even be aware of why the FBI declined the sale. I’ve yet to be declined in the dozens of background checks that I’ve submitted, so I can’t speak from experience on that issue.
If you get a hold, the gun shop does not know why. They just inform you that you’ve been put on hold.
Part of the solution is to arm MORE citizens. Not disarm them. It’s obvious. Let them have the ability to defend themselves.
