Dems reject amendment to notify authorities on NICS check

Post by Bruenor »

Always interesting to see what they feel is important. Catching and punishing criminals is not the goal, and is not important, while restricting rights of law abiding citizens is important to them.

Fox News reported that the universal background check bill, H.R. 8, passed the House Judiciary Committee on a 23–15 party-line vote. Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) had proposed an amendment to H.R. 8, which would have required a notification be sent to law enforcement “when an individual attempting to purchase a firearm fails a federal background check.”

Steube commented of the Democrats’ refusal to incorporate his amendment, “In rejecting this amendment, the Democrats have shown their true colors.” He continued, “It is clear they are not interested in preventing gun violence or stopping the illegal purchase of firearms, but rather they are only interested in limiting the rights of law-abiding citizens to advance their own political agenda.”

The rejection of the amendment absolutely proves hard edged bitter partisan politic, with no concern for efficacy of the amendment.

That's mod op for one party. Guess who.....

Now that more states are allowing felons who have completed their punishment to vote, the Dems don't want to lose any more voters.
