Dude what is in the bill. This does not prove anything. You have to state what was in the bill for us to understand why they reject it.
UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND CHECK is they are against.

Why not enact voter ID requirements also?
Gngs will never register , if you live in a crime infested area, ayiu are basically defenceless if you say are ineligible to own a gun.
Impossible to implement .Especially in crime prone areas.
You must think I'm one of those who gives a Bleep about voter ID.
Make getting Voter ID laws as easy as buying a gun in certain states - then we can talk.
It is impossible to implement now because you right wing folks have this ridiculous fetish with assault weapons that I don't understand.
Ted Cruz advocating for more funding of police to deal with this is a more reasonable approach.
A Gun is not a toy. Not everyone should have access to it especially assault weapons.
Reason gun laws should be enacted. Knowing who are getting guns is not a crime.

Look, the FBI went with a swat team to arrest Roger stones. He is not known for any crime or violence. He is just a trump guy and they invited cnn to film how they Swat him. Okay, this guy that killed 10 people has been on their radar and they know he might do something like this. They allowed it to happen. 10 dead so folks like you can yap about assault weapons.

The mistake American will make is to give away their weapons. This is not australia or Europe. United States is filled with all kinds of people and criminals. You go from rap culture to gang within and gang outside and Mexico who will start up war in their country to control who supply illegal weapons to the US like they do with narcotics.

Result will be, law abiding defenseless against criminals. Home invasion will increase. For them to be able to take away guns, they should control the border first. Making sure no banned substance are entering the country. If they can do that then they might have a good reason to take away guns.
Who is saying anything about giving up their guns?? Common sense gun laws is what is needed. A gun is not a damn toy anyone can get because you're talking about your second amendment right.
What do we have the police for?? I thought the police are the most blameless people in the world?? You're worried about being able to defend yourself against criminals yet you don't want laws that make sure those criminals DON'T have access to guns easily?

Let's vet everything...the border, military, police, gun sales etc.
A gun is not a toy. It requires responsibility to be a gun owner. In no sane world should getting a gun be easier than voting.

Background checks are done for licenced gun dealers only
Universal background checks require a sort of gun registry that includes records of when your grandpa gifts you a gun. Only lefties would support that

.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_background_check
So we shouldn't know who and who is carrying assault weapons because "muh second amendment"? Interesting...

Exaggeration does not mean fact, it just mean you have an imaginary argument in your head, you assign to the right and you attack it. Show me a policy of the right where they stated they want everyone to own a gun.
So why had Republicans been against background checks all this while?

Why have they mostly been against banning people with mental illnesses from buying guns?? That is what I mean by "everyone" being allowed to get guns.

You are attacking the right. Black people already strap up and they are killing themselves. Everyweek at least 20 are shot and no media, no one talks about gun control including the idiots PrideofLincoln1 and salford1.
I am attacking the right because they want everyone including mentally ill people to have assault weapons. More white people have more guns than black people even if you do account for the "criminals".
One moment the NRA will push their pro everyone have a gun talk with "people can protect themselves with guns from the police state" to nonsense about Chicago like asking for laws that make sure guns don't fall into the wrong hands means you support crime.

That's the issue with some of you right wing folks. For the people who like to talk about how black people aren't a monolith - you seem to be guilty of some of the things you accuse Liberals of.

Asking for sensible gun laws = not caring about crime in the black community.

Asking that cops do better when handling issues in the black community = you don't care about criminals in the black community - just only when cops kill black people(like holding cops to a high standards is a crime).

One moment Cops are infallible but as soon as it comes to guns - everyone should have assault weapons because cops aren't perfect.

PrideofLincoln1:
A lots of African Americans are packing just like Whites and Hispanics do but the difference is that we do not show off like those gutless Nazis and Klans do. I belong to an African American Gun Club in Chicagoland and you will be surprised how many Brothers and Sisters are having high caliber type of AR as weapons. That's the reason I got one last December and God forbid that someone threaten me or my family. 2nd Amendment applies to all Americans in good standing and I exercise my rights as an American to defend my family.
Honestly I can't be too mad at this anymore. Brainless retards can't be allowed to have guns while "rational" folks stay mute because they dislike guns.
Everyone should a bazooka for all I care. Black Panthers have shown us the only language some of these rednecks understand is violence.
I do worry that cops will target black folks with guns. The NRA took forever before they spoke up against Castile's murder. So yeah...this can backfire in many ways but it is what it is...

I'm on the fence in regards to these gun issues. An outright gun ban is unfortunately too late to carry out now.
Thanks to the gun loving right - assault weapons are everywhere and I think it'll be difficult to seize/confiscate all these weapons.
The right wants to make it harder to vote than to get a damn gun. If you don't see an issue with this- then I don't know what to say.
You'd think this would be a perfect time to push for more police funding but nah...let's keep giving excuses for the ridiculous gun fetish in America with "second amendment".
I thank God more black people are buying guns now. Since America wants to be foolish best you strap up. Then again - once the number of black gun owners increases to an uncomfortable amount - I trust the NRA to support Gun Control again just like they did during the Black Panther era.

Can you really force a man to stay? He can walk or even if you force him to stay, Can you force commitment out of him? What if he is staying there just like a figurehead and not really involved checked out and shacking up with another woman

At the end of it, Its only the woman that nature has tied to the foetus which is why its the womans choice that matter most in this case
8 weeks should be enough for both to decide what to do moving forward. If things go bad after 25 weeks - a reasonable person would at least support a woman till she's given birth.

There must be a point where I should have made up my mind whether to abort or not, and anything longer than say 3 months is far too much dithering for me. However, I can't impose my 3 months on others since not everyone is as sharp as buda.

So, if it gets to the point that you can get it to breath outside me, I agree with you that killing it is murder, and you must shoot me or do to me what you do to murderers. But any time before that, my body, so lay off!
I still say 8 weeks should be the longest it takes to make a decision.

A man and a woman can agree to have a baby, 25 weeks into the pregnancy, the man can change his mind and pullout of the agreement to move on with his life, The responsibility of 2 people becomes hers alone.

The woman might see that her physical and mental health is not good to carry and deliver a baby but she is now forced to carry the decision of 2 people alone
That is why the man should be forced to look after his wife till she has a kid.
Men just can't get a woman pregnant and leave in the middle of the pregnancy. It's ridiculous...

I am sure you are aware that no contraceptive is 100% accurate except abstinence. I am guessing you are not yet married.

[/b]However, I do support that it's better a pregnancy is terminated before the foetus has an heartbeat[b].

I also agree with you that it's better to let go if it's a pregnancy that has the possibility of taking the life of the expectant mother. Sometimes, this is not often seen on an ultra sound till much later. Women's health is very complex. Any doctor, especially Obstetrics and gynecology physicians would tell us that. With the terrible healthcare services in Nigeria, the Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) of Nigeria is 814 (per 100,000 live births), in contrast to the lifetime risk in developed countries estimated at 1 in 4900, so in a developing country like Nigeria, the situation is even worse. While all these are not related to pregnancy that should not have been kept, it also probably has a good percentage in that ratio.
This is the crux of the matter. For me it's unacceptable for people to abort a baby at 25 weeks...no way anyone can convince me that isn't murder.
Some people are fine with abortion at 25
weeks but scream " Animal rights" and PETA our asses all day long. Animals are now more important than a living being with a heartbeat.

I support abortion as long as the mother does not want to carry the baby. Even if its 100weeks.



Carrying a baby has physical and psychological dimensions to it, If the mother thinks she cannot carry it at any time, she should be free to abort
Child bearing and rearing is hard enough, You have to be 100% on board for it. IMO
The mother should not let it get to 100 weeks. I can understand if it's rape or incest but two grown adults should be responsible to know if they're ready for a kid or not.

You don't want kids - don't make them. Better yet, take precautions to prevent it happening.
Anything after 8-10 weeks is murder. Simple.

Calm down let me get something right

You believe ing the voter suppression because your guy lost, yet no proof of voter fraud

but when there is massacre by white supremacist you don't agree to gun restrictions and laws.

Run me through the republican thought process quick

Mass shooting that has killed various people doesn't need urgent attention

But voter fraud that has been statistically proven to be less than 0.000001 in the last ten years needs urgent attention?
Mail In Ballots became a problem when the Supreme leader Orange Reagan lost.
Anyone who has followed politics long enough knows Republicans didn't have a problem with it till after Nov last year.

Lol.. Bro, me and you disagree for many things ooo.. I believe a little bit of social welfare is good for Society e.g The Police is social welfare in terms of security for the general population or do you think Policing is bad? I am more of 60% Capitalism 40% Socialism
2) I don’t see anything wrong with Abortion, If a Mother feels she doesn’t have what it takes to bring forth life and take care of that life properly, it’s better to Abort till whenever she is ready.
3) Climate Change is not baseless and Unfounded, that’s like arguing that the world is Flat
Disagree with your second point. Abortion should only take place in cases of rape, incest, and when it brings harm to the mother.
Agree with your other points.

LMAO these Trunpanzee's are lunatics they are still pained that the sleepy guy beat the old toddler grin

I wonder what is newsworthy that Biden stumbled and he even got right back up he is in his 80's so this is nothing new.
There are now recollections of past US Presidents who have done same.
Even the orane turd and immediate past national nightmare cannot hold a glass of water without using two hands,stumbled,cannot walk straight and had a tissue on his shoe on board Air force One.
But Trump supporters are still pained over and election loss.Biden stood up to Putin after putting a bounty on American soldiers in Afghanistan.Trump is a coward that served Putin.
The Biden administration is scandal free so these lunatics and the media have nothing to report on that is why this stale news is news.

Below are pictures of Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan stumbling on board Air force One
Don't let it bother you. We know Orange Reagan or whomever they like will slip up and they'll get their ass flamed.

These people are simply playing politics with these, And Dreamers are caught in the web of politics. Another 4yrs will go and nothing will be done. I prefer solutions and not mere talk.

We need realistic solution fast and not all these white people this, black people that, Identity politics that some people love to play. Every argument about any topic is dumbed down to White people vs non white people

Listen to this from a Texas Democrat

https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2021/03/14/rep-vicente-gonzalez-texas-border-immigration-biden-ip-phillip-vpx.cnn


WASHINGTON — Democrats who represent communities along the border are ratcheting up the pressure on President Joe Biden to take action as a wave of migrants has started crossing into Texas.
Honestly Biden should've had a plan in place before he took those Trump admin restrictions off.
The gang of 8 probably had the best immigration bill in recent times but as usual petty politics ruined it.
Biden should've never said people in the country before November last year would be eligible for his immigration plan.
Good thing he's now pressuring Mexico to help curb the surge.

When Canada is doing the exact same thing. Canada has a set of profession called NOCs, An English/French language exam cutoff and need certain educational achievements before people qualify yet that is not biased

Now we are waiting for Democrats to unveil a system that won't be biased but like the do-nothing and only play politics, we will be here to see it
