These murderers are calling on their radical followers to exploit loopholes. Why? Because firearms are easier to attain in America than making their homemade bombs.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Maybe the terrorists like guns because every time they use guns, Harry Reid and his crowd call for disarming Americans, to make the terrorists jobs easier &#8211; the terrorists win twice. Harry continues;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Terrorist leaders are urging lone wolves to exploit our nation\u2019s gun laws, buy assault weapons and murder Americans. But Republicans have blocked our every attempt to address the deficiencies in our nation\u2019s gun laws. Last December, Republicans blocked legislation that would close the so-called \u201cterror loophole,\u201d which allows suspected terrorists to enter a gun store and legally buy firearms and or explosives \u2013 or both. Republicans also blocked legislation that would close the \u201cgun show loophole,\u201d which allows criminals and terrorists to purchase guns without having a background check. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Maybe Republicans blocked the legislation because when you&#8217;re faced with a criminal, the dumbest thing to do is toss away your gun. Harry should ask his armed body guards about that.<\/p>\n<p>As I&#8217;ve said here before, I&#8217;ve bought guns at gun shows and went through the same background checks that I would have endured at a gun shop. The FBI says that they interviewed criminals as to where they had purchased their guns and less than 1% bought guns at gun shows. None of the guns used in the headline news stories about these &#8220;mass shootings&#8221; were bought at gun shows. The killers all avoided detection by the NICS system at gun shops.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Democrats can wait no longer. We are going to demand solutions to our nation\u2019s gun violence epidemic. On Monday, I stated that we would demand a vote on the terror loophole. That is our obligation. We must try at every opportunity to say to Republicans: The American people \u2013 not the NRA, not the Gun Owners of America \u2013 should be their obligation. There is no excuse for allowing suspected terrorists to buy guns.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, Harry, the NRA and the GOA actually represent millions of Americans, while you want to disarm millions of Americans. But, yeah, strike while the iron is hot &#8211; you can&#8217;t afford to waste a tragedy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Harry Reid, that simpleton from Nevada, just issued a press release in which he calls for &hellip; <a title=\"Harry Reid&#8217;s &#8220;Terror loophole&#8221;\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=66346\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Harry Reid&#8217;s &#8220;Terror loophole&#8221;<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":40733,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-66346","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66346","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=66346"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66346\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/40733"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=66346"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=66346"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=66346"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
