" Federally mandated universal background checks won’t end gun violence nor stop the criminal misuse of firearms, but they will significantly increase the burden of millions of law-abiding Americans who wish only to exercise their Second Amendment right to self-defense. "
That really says it all.
This is all political posturing to their base. They know damn well this bill has no chance to pass the Senate, cuz they can't do it via reconciliation.
These Moon Bats are idiots when it come to background checks.
Background checks are absolutely useless for two reasons and oppressive for a third reason:
1. Past behavior is not a prediction of future behavior. These mass shooters that passed background checks are examples of that.
2. Not being able to pass a background check will never stop a crook from getting a firearm to commit a crime. Most of the gun crimes in the US are done by people that would never be able to legally get a gun. They find a way.
3. If you have to get government permission to enjoy a right that is guaranteed in the Bill of Rights then the BoRs is not worth the paper it is written on, is it? Filthy background checks are the oppressive government giving permission for a right that "shall not be infringed".
