Ex-Ph2 sends us a link to Reuters<\/a> which reports that Senate Democrats wasted no time trying to restrict law abiding Americans from purchasing firearms yesterday.<\/p>\n

One day after a mass shooting in California that killed 14 people and wounded 21, Republicans and Democrats in the U.S. Senate jousted on Thursday over gun control but again failed to advance legislation addressing the violence.<\/p>\n

Democrats tried to expand background checks to those purchasing weapons at gun shows and through intrastate Internet transactions. They also proposed closing a loophole allowing people on “terror watch lists” to buy guns and explosives.<\/p>\n

Both efforts failed in the face of heavy Republican opposition.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That gun show loop hole really has a grasp on those gun grabbing folks. There is no gun show loop hole – it’s a private sales loophole. Americans can sell anything they own to anyone else. If the Democrats want to make it illegal to sell stuff to each other, they should just say that out loud. As I’ve said a hundred times here on this blog, I’ve bought guns at gun shows and I went through background checks every time. There is nothing that Democrats can write into the gun laws that will prevent criminals from transferring weapons between themselves that isn’t already in the law.<\/p>\n

Reuters<\/a> took it upon themselves to revisit Brent Nicholson<\/a>\u2019s stockpile of thousands of guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition. Most of those guns had been stolen and Nicholson appears to have been dealing in distributuion of stolen firearms to criminals;<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has completely changed our definition of an ass-load of guns,\u201d said Chesterfield County Sheriff Jay Brooks. Six weeks after the discovery, officers are still cataloging the weapons, many of which have proved stolen, and the final tally is expected to be close to 5,000. \u201cI don\u2019t know if there\u2019s ever been (a seizure) this big anywhere before,\u201d Brooks says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Criminals are going to break the law, no matter how many new laws you write. That’s why we call them criminals. <\/p>\n

Congress should also try writing laws against the possession of bombs – San Bernadino terrorist dude had more bombs than he had guns. But those are already illegal, too – a few more useless laws wouldn’t make any difference in that regard either, so it’s a situation that’s prime for a lawmaker, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
