I said it before, Republicrats aggravate me worse than liberal Dems.
One thing to know who your opposition is but when those that are suppose to be "conservative" turn on you...pathetic
The only way around will be to have language that allows the gift transfer to an immediate family member (son, daughter, grandkid).
This now sets the stage to make it illegal to own even a .22 plinking rifle if under 21.
One of the few things they had that differentiated them from minors is now gone.
"-- Requires a three-day waiting period to buy a firearm. -- Raises the age to buy a gun from 18 to 21."
In all honesty, is that a start or a solution? Hint. One gun law is typically followed by another. I'm not sure how a strong 2A supporter can argue in favor of this? And by justifying it (in any fashion), you ARE arguing in its defense. Like I've said before, keep backing up, no matter how small the step, that bump you feel on your ass. That's a wall you (we've) backed into.

Some people will capitulate their rights because their guy is in charge. Some people will just disagree with someone who has offended them in the past even if it makes them look like a gun grabber.
These people like the shooter are actually reaching out for help, Cruz slashed his arms up and made threats and the mental health folks did nothing. People like Atheist and others who chase people around baiting them are calling out for help too.
The longer we blow them off and belittle them the more likely they are to snap. So from this point forward I will be supportive and only post....
#seekhelp
after all their trolling comments, hopefully this support will lead them to get help.....
3 days will make no difference. The system failed, and everyone else is punished.
He is not being disingenuous he is G-lying.
" the Age limit and the waiting period accomplishes nothing.....it is just a feel good bill ..."
Exactly. And when it fails to stop the next attack, there will be a push for more "sensible" measures. THAT is why it should be opposed. You say you're not in favor, but in previous posts you're basically defending it. We cannot afford to do that.
Not. One. Step. Back.
Congressional ‘Office Expense’… Bulletproof Vests
Via Washington Times:
Capitol Hill culture changes, and quietly. House lawmakers can now use taxpayer funds to buy bulletproof vests or reinforce their own personal security under a resolution approved this week by the House Administration Committee. It’s all spelled out under “office expenses” in the “Members’ Congressional Handbook,” one of nine official publications on Capitol Hill that specify what’s what in that rarefied workplace.
The particulars are listed right there among guidelines for appliances, furniture, flags, parking and stationary. Lawmakers only need to consult the “security” section.
“Payment for security personnel is an ordinary and necessary reimbursable expense when such personnel is hired to provide security at official, Member-hosted district events (e.g., town halls); To accompany Members during the performance of their official duties; or to be stationed inside or outside the district office during business hours,” say the guidelines.
Modifying an office with such security enhancements as bulletproof glass is considered a “capital improvement” and not reimbursable, however. Bulletproof vests are a go, as is practical safety training.
“If an item exceeds $500, it must be added to the office inventory. The purchase of a bulletproof vest for the Member is a reimbursable expense. Security training for members and staff is a reimbursable expense,” the handbook advises.
Any wonder why there is a need for Congressional personal protection devices?
