Background Checks Act 2021 goes to Senate

[tuttlefarm]

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., on Thursday vowed that the Senate would vote on the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2021, which passed the House Thursday in a 227-203 vote.

A prior version of the H.R. 8 bill, which would require background checks for all U.S. firearm purchases, passed the House in 2019 but did not receive 60 votes in the Senate to clear the filibuster.

"In the past, when they sent it over to us last time, it went into [fomer Senate Majority Leader] Mitch McConnell's legislative graveyard," Schumer said during a press conference Thursday. "The legislative graveyard is over. H.R. 8 will be on the floor of the Senate, and we will see where everybody stands. No more hopes and prayers, thoughts and prayers. A vote is what we need, a vote, not thoughts and prayers."

I hope it stops in the Senate because there is no doubt where Biden stands on the issue

Stop complying.

If gun owners would have told the ATF to go pound sand a long time ago, we would not be in this mess... Gun owners are the most compliant group I have ever seen. Way more than liberals.

I hope it is defeated in the Senate. If not, many more restrictive bills will show up. Gun owners are in for a very rough time with this government .

Have you seen the man speak lately? He has no idea where he's standing.

 

[wagonman]

lets see how joe manchin and jon tester handle this bill in the senate, could be the death nail for both if they cave in

We're watching elder abuse.

the rubber is about to hit the road hold on tight boys

 

[Kermit in Va.]

Yep

We're watching elder abuse.

If Biden comes after your guns give him your toaster he won't know the difference! LOL!

 

[tmwinds]

Am I correct that it will require 60 senate votes to pass this bill?

 

[rijndael]

If there's a filibuster, 60 is require to end debate.

The really sad part about this is that it's "bipartisan". Don't you just love the RINOs. They should just go ahead and join the anti-Constitution, American last demcom party where they belong.

Here are the 8 Republicans that voted for this.

• Vern Buchanan of Florida
• Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania
• Maria Salazar of Florida
• Andrew Garbarino of New York
• Chris Smith of New Jersey
• Fred Upton of Michigan
• Carlos Gimenez of Florida
• Adam Kinzinger of Illinois

If they represent you, pick up the phone and have a discussion with them.

So brave one, what do you suggest. When you tell them to go pound sand post your birthday maybe some will send you a card.....in the pokey. Dumb talk I hear often at matches. Then when I ask who has contacted their Senator and Congressmen lately eyes go down, backs get turned and walk away. The cat left the bag long ago....I do agree conservatives as group are more talk than action. Even worse are Republicans. So, end of political commentary.....its not allowed, sorry.

 

[ckaberna]

Not clear on how this can be enforced without a registry.... this is just step #1

Something to think about, if Joe gets booted Kamala will finish HIS 4 year term, which means that she is still
able to run for President TWO times. Just think 11 years of Kamala as President.

Only if she does less than 2 years of Biden's term

Same here, but I might buy a CNC and a class or two.
