Yes.......the democrats who have dragged the bodies of dead children in front of news cameras for the last 2 weeks....while they were still warm.......are not going to block fixing the federal gun background check system so they can use the issue in the 2018 mid term election cycle........since they care about kids so much...
The NRA is the group pushing this fix for the background check system.....the democrats are fighting it...the democrats need dead kids ...they are really important for getting useless gun control laws....
This Town: Democrats Consider Torpedoing Gun Control Bill Because...It Could Pass
Well, it’s finally here: a piece of gun control legislation that could actually pass. The Fix NICS Act, which seeks to strengthen background checks by penalizing federal agencies that fail to forward criminal records to the FBI to update the National Instant Criminal Background Check system. The horrific shooting in Sutherland Springs, Texas that left over 20 people dead, prompted the legislation. The shooter, Devin Patrick Kelley, was an Air Force veteran, who was court martialed for domestic violence in 2012. He was convicted and sentenced to a year in jail. He was given a “bad conduct” discharge (not the same as dishonorable) in 2014, but his criminal record was never forwarded to the FBI. That’s how he was able to obtain firearms, when he shouldn’t have. If one is convicted of domestic violence, they’re prohibited from purchasing or owning firearms.
There’s bipartisan support for this legislation. It could pass, but Democrats could torpedo it, despite strong support from Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT), a key gun control advocate. Why? Well, because if this passes, that would be the end of the legislative offensive on gun rights.
Oh, and they might want to use this for the 2018 midterms (via WaPo):
Even though one of their own is co-sponsoring the Fix NICS Act, which would punish federal agencies that don't submit criminal records to the national criminal background check system for firearms, Senate Democrats have spent their first few days back in Congress this week dissing the bill.
