I voted for this side due to the fact that way too many individuals are allowed to purchase/possess firearms when they have no legal right; nor ability; to do so.

Max DeYoung

Schumer blocks Senate GOP school safety bill. Democrats don't want laws that work, they want death and mayhem.

Max DeYoung

People who have no legal right to possess firearms can not pass a background check. ATF Form 4473 - Firearms Transaction Record Revisions. Please educate yourself.

Bonnie Sandker

That should have been done after the Sandy Hook tragedy. Also, limit the age when a person can buy a gun. No sales of assault weapons to anyone under 25 and then with a thorough background check. Stop the killing of innocent children.

Mark Cunningham

Assault weapons are already banned. These automatic weapons are for military use only.. Democrats want to ban semi-automatic weapons, but like to call them assault weapons because it sounds more deadly. In truth, they consider any weapon that will have an automatic reload to be an assault weapon.

Max DeYoung

I had already served six years in the U S Navy when I turned 25. Your reasoning is less than that of a child.

Max DeYoung

There is no such thing as an assault weapon. Assault is a physical attack, performed by a person or an animal. A weapon used, is only a tool being used in the physical attack. That could even be a pillow used to smother someone. Do you have assault pillows in your home? Please educate yourself.

Funny how quick they are to protect the lives of embryos because "life matters" yet 10 year olds get slaughtered by an 18 year old that can buy guns and it's political. Disgusting yet predictable hypocrisy among conservatives

Mark Cunningham

Adam, are you saying you are pro-life on the abortion issue or are you as big of an hypocrite as your post indicates?

Max DeYoung

We are living in a world where Governors are signing bills requiring students to use bathrooms aligned with their biological sex at birth, to protect themselves from the sins of the Left.

Max DeYoung

Funny how you are so dense.

Does anybody actually think this would stop the nightly shootings, by felons in Columbia using stolen forearms? No, I don't think so either. People who legally purchase firearms, are not the people committing crimes with firearms. Why not start holding the criminals responsible?

Zaos Gonzolez

Hunter Biden purchased a firearm via background check, before promptly tossing in a dumpster near a public school. So....

Mark Cunningham

This is nothing more than a political grandstand in an effort to win votes. The bill will do little to stem violence and is only for politicians to use at election time. The Democrats are taking a tragedy and using it to get their agenda passed without any proof the bill would make a difference.

Max DeYoung

Yes, the Dems are acting true to form, untrustworthy and immoral. The only change they make, is for the worse.

It is what trump wants

Max

The violence is from the Left. Trump, and Americans want Law and Order.

Jane Porter

Yes it is inevitable, it will continue until ICE is stopped. Honestly I thought would happen sooner.

Max

Ice will not be stopped, they will just get better tools, and use them sooner.

Jeremy Salas

Its a bunch of Lil weiner having, trigger happy racists joining ice that couldn't make it in real law enforcement or military.

Max

That protect you and your children.

Fred

I am sure many are white supremacists and neo-nazis.

Will Mason

Unless the" protestors" (In reality they are insurectionists) stop being violent, the violence will continue. .

Max

600 of those protesters were Pelosi plants.

Fred

January 6, 2021 was insurrection ... citizens protesting government overreach and invasion of their neighborhoods by unknown masked men in battle fatigues & assault weapons is NOT!

Ruthann Black

As long as violent protesters are blocking federal agents from doing their jobs , it will continue.

Fred

It will continue as long as ICE and DHS continue to use excessive force!

Steve Baumann

There is an anti-American movement that's gained momentum over the past few years. And with the discovery of mass corruption, such as in Minneapolis, those profiting from those activities are going to fight back, hard.

Nancy Sims-VanBuren

Lack of concern due to no accountability

Max

Terrorists are ramming ICE vehicles, as we speak.

Nicole McGregor

The new agents aren't properly trained and they have zero accountability!

Toasty

While the liberals/socialists/communists/democrats continue the narrative of victimization, they will find useful idiots to carry out their agenda. This poor woman believed the lies and lost her life.

Fred

Masked secret police roaming the streets with no accountability would have never been accepted in America in the past. If they themselves weren't ashamed of there actions, they wouldn't be wearing masks. Our democracy is spiraling the drain!

James Sowash

Until politicians in both parties quit making inflammatory statements, it will continue.
