Democrats demand bill with expanded background checks, gun confiscations

Senate Democrats offered their ante Thursday in the renewed gun control debate, saying any bill must expand background checks and allow court-ordered gun confiscations while demanding a vote on a semi-automatic rifle ban — though they said that is not a deal-breaker if it doesn’t become law.

Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer of New York said his Democratic caucus is prepared to provide a “very large” number of votes for those priorities. He called for a free-ranging debate on the chamber floor, where he said he would accept the outcome.

“This is what we think should be done. This is the right thing to do … but if we can get a good portion of it and not all of it, fine,” Mr. Schumer said. “To get these things done, I’m not drawing any lines in the sand.”

Unless that 'very large' number is 60, he can take the sand he not drawing lines in and go pound it.

Confiscating guns from threats will be worthless if you they can still buy guns. Let's fix that problem first.

Seems like a good point that if current laws had been enforced those kids would still be alive.

Every single govt agency that was involved with the killer failed to do their job.  Not once but multiple times.

Lets fix that before making new laws.

Tyrants do not fear crazy people with guns.  This is why they do not bother enforcing existing laws and policies to stop them.

What they really fear and want dealt with - is normal American people armed with guns.

Because preventing them from being able to stop what they intend to do to us all, is a priority because it is an armed populace that scares them so.

Not the nut jobs. 

But a resolute people refusing to be subjugated by tyrants and their endless schemes.
