On Wednesday, NBC News reported that Sens. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Chris Murphy (D-CT) were nearing a “bipartisan deal on gun control.”
Cornyn and Murphy are working together on gun legislation related to background checks in the wake of the Texas church attack.

The Texas gunman, Devin Patrick Kelley, passed a background check for his firearms, although he had a criminal record that should have prohibited him from doing so. Kelley acquired a criminal record sufficient to forfeit Second Amendment rights while in the Air Force, but that record was not in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) because the Air Force “didn’t report” it, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Defense Secretary Jim Mattis directed the Pentagon inspector general to review the failure to report Kelley’s criminal background to NICS.

They need a new bill?
Just use the tens of thousands of laws already on the books!

I did some reading about it. All it does is incentivizes states to get information to the feds for NICS checks. It doesn't expand background checks or contain any new restrictions.

HOWEVER--never underestimate the Dems hanging crap on the bill. My guess is that they will so the Reps kill it and then the Dems will point to heartless pricks that won't act on gun control.

There is no text available on this bill. Because it is co-sponsored by Blumenthal and Feinstein- and I have no f*****g idea what is in it- I vehemently oppose it. The media could say chicken eggs have blue polk-a-dots. I still don't believe them. I don't know who I distrust more- the media or the government. Might make a poll on that.

so, they will make it a law to follow an already existing law?..........is this like making murder even more illegal???

Just keep aware and stay on it so they don't slip it through just prior to the holiday.

No tax. No repeal. This, this they can do. Fake phony Republicans. Trump veto. Guarantee 4 more. Article 5. Now.

Anyone willing to co-sponsor a bill with a rep from CT could only be an anti-rights a$$hole. I don't care if he's from Texas, it's a trap!
