Senate Republicans and Democrats reach background checks deal

[Likely Voter]

what's the big deal on private exchanges or sales. I bought my car from my brother but I didn't complain about my freedom being destroyed when I had to go down to the DMV. I know cars aren't in the Constitution but seriously its just filling out some forms and a little burden isn't a big deal. We are talking about things that are built to kill people and animals.

I just hope this private sale loophole doesn't end up just being the place where everyone goes including straw purchasers for gangmembers

It's a step in the right direction.  There is no legitimate reason to oppose this deal.  Background checks are a common sense way (and the only way) to enforce the laws on the books.

So you think the black market types will obey this law?

If this is about preventing violence, then why is Obama getting a free pass to do whatever he wants.

Who knows how many innocent people he's murdered in the Middle East with completely unnecessary drone strikes.

Being against this is a political loser. You can talk about burdens and lawbreakers dont care about laws but in the end you are voting to protect the rights of people who shouldnt get guns to get guns. Want to see women come out and vote in the midterms? Then wait for the ads about your local Senator/congressman voting to protect the rights of wifebeaters who arent allowed to buy guns to get guns.

FFS the GOP won. they stopped the AWB and even stopped extended clips (to protect the rights of mass killers to not have to reload I guess?). Fillibustering and fighting background checks is getting greedy and yet another example of GOP over-reach.

wait, prisoners aren't allowed to carry assault weapons?

Obama is destroying our freedom.
