Dems reject ICE notification of illegal immigrants trying to buy guns on heels of proposed reform for the rest of us

Democrats who are always for more and stricter gun control have suddenly become leary of a bill that would have required a government background check on illegal aliens attempting to purchase a gun. But they appear to be all-in for sweeping gun control for the rest of us.

Recently, House Democrats passed a gun control bill call H.R. 8, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019. It mandates “new requirements for background checks of individuals who purchase, or are given, weapons from other private parties.”

Dan Cadman at the Center for Immigration Studies pointed out: “Rep. W. Gregory Steube (R-Fla.) introduced an amendment, the focus of which is easy to understand: It requires that whenever any gun purchase is imminent — whether between private parties, or individuals and licensed firearms dealers, or whomever — a comparison of data is made between the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) database of immigration violators. When there is a match indicating that an alien illegally in the country is attempting to buy a firearm, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents would be notified so that the attempted purchaser could be apprehended and prosecuted and/or removed.”
