So you don't need to worry about explaining how ideas that have been done and failed are all of sudden going to work this time around? :lamo

Now what was that cliché, again, about doing what has been done before, and expecting a different result?

No, what we are doing is making cheap guns less accessible to felons and the mentally deranged in 40 states.

Tens of millions of law abiding people have bought guns after completing a background check.

And in the past, many people voted after passing “literacy tests” and paying poll taxes.
 
Catawba said:
Because Ca criminals can just drive next door to buy cheap guns at gun shows for cash without a background check. That is why the majority of voters want to close that avenue in 40 states.

Why would criminals in California need to drive to another state? They buy their guns from other criminals - who also do not register their illegal weapons.

Roughly ninety percent of Americans support universal background checks. Do you?

Universal backgroung checks? So my new grandson needs a background check. My wife does too. 90% of us support that? Are you sure? Am I missunderstanding the meaning of universal? Oh, you are a one topic poster. Sorry. I guess I should go somewhere else.

This guy bob cannot seem to form a coherent argument about anything. Just insults and sarcasm. Like talking to a ten year old. :]

actually his point is sound. Catawba argues that infringements are OK as long as the infringements did not prevent all from excercising a right

Who is bb? On path of wrong? We're not actually talking about anything. How can one be wrong about nothing.

Here are the two pieces of legislation I think have the best chances of being passed:

The bipartisan gun safety measure designed to curb illegal gun trafficking and purchasing.

And, the bipartisan expanded background check proposal being put together by Schumers group.

Let me know when it passes.

I will be on the, "laughing my tail off at the ridiculous lack of enforcement train" just like I am now.

Okay, you are confused. You live in Ohio. I mentioned Ohio.

no what you claimed was all the pro gun posters live in Ohio when the person you had just responded to before me is from the West Coast

Which proves rather conclusively how far right wing on the issue of guns this site actually is and how out of touch so many members are with the feelings of the American people.

Pro gun posters? I wasn't talking guns with anyone. You aren't making sense.

A lie which the one person representing the far wrong will never stop repeating, no matter how solidly it is disproven.

If it were a lie, you could disprove it by posting any credible national poll that showed more than marginal support for not requiring background checks for all gun sales.

They are cheaper for criminals when they can buy them at gun shows. That's one of the reasons the great majority of voters support expanding background checks.

If it were true we would have seen it passed long ago. The concept sells, the means of its implementation do not. ;)

You know Catawba the more I read your posts, the more I become a disappointed evolutionist myself. :coffeepap

That may be the way the far right view it. Most of us however are aware that Congress not representing what the public wants is why they have historically low approval ratings. Its possible it make take a couple of election cycles to weed out those not representing the majority of voters.

This explains how PPACA, yet not AWB/MCL/UBGC was passed without need of a single GOP vote?
