‘Boldy And Decisively’: Pelosi Promises Swift Action On ‘Commonsense’ Gun Control
Democrats will act “boldly” to bring “commonsense” gun control reforms to the table, Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said in a statement.

“The new Democratic majority will act boldly and decisively to pass commonsense, life-saving background checks that are overwhelmingly supported by the American people,” Pelosi said, Politico reported Monday.

With Pelosi’s support, Democrats coalesced to create a gun reform proposal that would require federal background checks on all gun sales, including private sales, Politico reported. Democratic California Rep. Mike Thompson, a Pelosi ally who says a bill for universal background checks will be introduced to Congress in early 2019, is spearheading the measure, according to Politico.

“The American people want this. They’re way ahead of the Congress, they’re way ahead of the White House,” Thompson said, according to Politico. “I think you will see it happen in the first 100 days [of 2019].” (RELATED: Shutdown Looms As Trump, Democrats Dig Into Border-Wall Funding Disagreement)

Democratic New York Rep. Jerrold Nadler, the incoming chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, also promised to act “very quickly” to push the measure onto the House floor.

“We told the American voters that we do mean to do this, and we do mean to do it,” he told Politico.

The bill will have bipartisan support, according to Thompson, who refused to name GOP members who are set to sign on, but New York Republican Rep. Peter King indicated he will support it, Politico reported.

House Dems eye quick action on guns in new Congress

Thompson's legislation would require federal background checks on all gun sales, including private transactions. There likely would be small exemptions, such as transfers between family members, or temporary use of a gun for hunting. Gun-control groups estimate that roughly one-fifth or more of gun sales don't include background checks.

Thompson, King and more than 200 other House lawmakers — including 14 Republicans — introduced similar legislation in November 2017, but it went nowhere.

"The American people want this. They're way ahead of the Congress; they're way ahead of the White House," Thompson insisted.

At this point what else is there to do but "not give a fuck"
That's where I'm at too.

The politicians can sign their name on any piece of paper they want.
It means nothing to me, fuck them.

And to think that this comes from the old crazy hag Pelosi that not only embraces but promotes illegal turd world immigration to our country. In other words, at the same time the house speaker is promoting breaking the law.
She wants to disarm the law abiding citizens of this country.

Ya can't make this shit up.
It's hard to give a fuck under these circumstances.

"Commonsense", that's double speak for we think your dumber than us.

. There likely would be small exemptions, such as transfers between family members, or temporary use of a gun for hunting

another "check" that law enforcement won't enforce. The NICS works, but only when local authorities actually report prohibited individuals and law enforcemnent actually prosecutes prohibited persons.

obviously, criminals are delighted this is going into effect....not

If I have to say it a hundred more times I will................................ I have not heard one politician say how they are going to take the guns from the criminals!

 

[Drinkthekoolaid]

If I have to say it a hundred more times I will................................ I have not heard one politician say how they are going to take the guns from the criminals!

Because they aren't trying to.

When looking at the situation look at their goal. They want to neuter us and make it so that the more this country wakes up and gets fed up that we are the ones who can't defend ourselves or stand up against them. That's what they are worried about.

It’s like the drug war they lost. They are going to lose the gun war too.
