I just do not get this. I don't get it at all. I can't understand one bit why people would fight this. - Jim Apr 1, 08:35 13
- if obama said he liked clean air, republicans would start burning tires in the yard -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 1, 12:28
- Having background checks also means having a giant database that includes lists of people who shouldn't have guns, and people who have guns. - Roger More Apr 1, 08:40 2
  - I know you're being funny here...but that database already exists. -- nm - Jim Apr 1, 08:46 1
    - I know - but how good is the information in it? Does every state report to it properly? Does every gun vendor have to run background checks through it - Roger More Apr 1, 08:50
- I personally hate the cycle this stuff goes in. We will have another shooting and it will get ramped up to 11. AGAIN. - Epiphany Apr 1, 08:39
- Even more ridiculous is that the population (including both parties and even NRA members) is in favor of it. It makes no sense at all. -- nm - pmb Apr 1, 08:37 5
  - and gun companies probably are as well, but they will never speak against the NRA -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 1, 08:44 2
    - that's a stretch - znufrii Apr 1, 08:46 1
      - not really, and npr had a story about this a couple of weeks ago - tRuMaN Apr 1, 08:47
  - *gives Congress's nuts another squeeze* -- nm - NRA Apr 1, 08:40
  - it really tells you something about how things get stopped. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 1, 08:40
- I agree completely. I don't get what anyone's problem is with this at all. -- nm - Thrugood Jenkins si Apr 1, 08:36 1
  - *sfan* -- nm - Krusty Apr 1, 08:37
shocker. -- nm - znufrii Apr 1, 08:33

    - I don't even know what meaningful thing could be in a gun bill now. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 1, 08:45 1
