2nd Amendment Thread

Key Republicans along with Democrats recently announced new legislation that would push federal agencies to report more domestic violence records to the background check system for gun purchases.

The bi-partisan bill comes in the wake of the church shooting in Texas, in which the shooter had had a series of run-ins with the law, including in the U.S. Air Force where he served jail time for domestic violence.

The new bill would punish agencies that fail to report their records on domestic violence to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, or NICS, which screens gun purchases from licensed firearms dealers.

I think the NRA will support this. The 2nd Amendment Originalists at Gun Owners of America will oppose it.

GOA has great stories like this

A homeowner in Louisville, Kentucky, used his gun and 150-pound dog to stop an alleged robbery in progress and hold the suspect until police arrived.

The dog’s name is Tank.

According to Fox 5, Derek Thomas was sitting home watching football when he “noticed a suspicious shadow” outside his window. He grabbed a gun, went out to investigate, and allegedly found 25-year-old Matthew Conklin rummaging through his truck. Thomas fired two warning shots and ordered Conklin to the ground.

Conklin complied, after which Thomas called for his wife, who brought Tank out of the house.

He said “(Tank) started barking and going crazy.” Thomas then looked at Conklin and said, ‘You hear that? That’s my 150-pound dog. And I promise if you run, I’m not chasing you – but he’s going to catch you.”

Oh. So IOW, there was an existing law or regulation that wasn't being followed. Shocking.

[C-Mag]

Yeah, we need new laws to make agencies follow the existing laws
