What is disturbing is that there are 231 oath traitors mocking things up.

Here's the official White House policy statement on the two bills:

Those would be the 5 RINO co-sponsors I mentioned in post #6, one of which is Peter King, NY. I'm still not surprised.

What about upping the ante with a little amendment called national reciprocity?

The 8 Republicans who voted for passage:

Vern Buchanan- Florida
Mario Diaz-Balart- Florida
Brian Fitzpatrick- Pennsylvania
Will Hurd- Texas
Pete King- New York
Brian Mast- Florida
Chris Smith- New Jersey
Fred Upton- Michigan

XCheckR · Feb 28, 2019

Three from Florida. Surprise.

RepublicOfFranklin · Feb 28, 2019

With Florida turncoats trying to push an assault weapons ban, I shouldn’t be surprised.

I read through that list fast, and my brain transposed the T from Texas into Will Hurd's last name

Fitzpatrick is my rep from Bucks County PA which is a suburb of Philly. There are a lot of Progressive NY and NJ transplants here so Fitzpatrick tries to play both sides. He is an ex FBI agent and is part of the swamp. He is getting lit up on his FB page by a few conservatives but there are also a ton of Democrats supporting him. We need someone that is well known, and more Libertarian than Republican, to primary his butt out. If the Democrats ran a pro 2A non-progressive for this seat, Fitzpatrick would lose for sure. There are a lot of RINOs around here.

this seems to be the case in many conservative areas as of late. tons and tons on ny nj and other liberal transplants fleeing in droves to NC, SC, FL, GA, TX, all over.

the love to flee their own failed creation, to try it again somewhere else.

They also blocked an amendment (might be the same amendment) that if someone failed a background check the local police would have to be notified immediately...

That amendment pertained to ICE notification if an Illegal failed a background check. Cuz Illegals must be able to get guns regardless of their criminal background.

I believe that the R's (Scalise maybe?) filed a motion to recommit and it passed, so this provision is in the version of HR8 that passed. In the end, God willing, it wont matter as McConnell is unlikely to move on it.

Mr H · Feb 28, 2019

Heard this evening that it isn't likely to even get a vote in the Senate.

Same with the NICS extension, which they say "closes the Charleston loophole" :sad20:

Hope this bill gets burried deep underground in the Senate.
