Dems: Prohibited Possessors Should Be Prosecuted for Trying to Buy Firearms, Unless...

The House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday held a "markup session" for HR 8, the Democratic-sponsored gun control legislation that is currently being considered. The primary focus of the bill is passing universal background checks.

During the hearing, Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) introduced a simple amendment to the bill that would require Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs) to report anyone who fails a background check to law enforcement agencies. Steube literally used the same language from a bill introduced by Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI) and sponsored by Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) during the last Congress.

Democrats eventually voted down the amendment, and Chairman Nadler said he'd have to do a "hard look" at the amendment before they would considered adopting it.

Its not about saving lives. It is only about controlling people.

Democrats and Nader only want transparency / strict conformity of the law for law abiding citizens. Illegals and criminals are not law abiding citizens.
