    I’m thrilled to join @SpeakerPelosi and @RepThompson next week in Washington to introduce a bipartisan universal background checks bill. Americans have spoken. It’s time to address our gun violence epidemic, and this new Congress will not sit silent.https://www.politico.com/story/2019/01/04/house-dems-gun-background-checks-bill-1081476 …

        They aren’t doing anything, there are already mandatory background checks. If anything they are making it harder for the law abiding citizen to obtain a gun. Criminals will not follow the law, they will get a gun illegally, that is what they do.

        I don’t see this problem in any other country, so obviously stricter rules work.

        Criminals will still get guns regardless of how many restrictions there are In place, they solve just about nothing. Restrictions only take away firearms from the citizens who abide the law.

        If they abide the law, they have nothing to worry about. It’s as simple as that.

        You don’t get the point. Criminals don’t abide by the law, they will get a gun off the streets. Chicago has among the most most strict guns laws in any part of the US, yet among the most amount of murders in the US.

        Can you read? This is a background check for CRIMINALS to not get access to guns. People who follow the law will pass the background check and purchase their guns. Case closed.

        Serious question: why not universal background checks on alcohol? I’m not kidding. Alcohol kills more than all deaths attributable to guns and cars combined, and that’s just from alcohol poisoning https://www.cdc.gov/alcohol/fact-sheets/alcohol-use.htm …

        Not to mention the fact that over 30% of rapes and over 2/3rd of domestic violence acts are committed by people under the influence.https://www.alcoholrehabguide.org/alcohol/crimes/

        Already have background checks, just need to enforce what is already on the books... But it's not the law abiding citizens you need to worry about!!!

        Law abiding citizens also need to keep their guns locked up away from children who may take them to school!!! Many Massacres were done by those who got access to guns from legal owners! Current laws must be strictly followed! #WellRegulated

        I agree,with keeping firearms in a safe place.. But it is also up to the parents to teach their children about firearms safety, and it also wouldn't hurt to teach them good morals, and responsibility.

        Children should be taught that when there are guns in the house! Any Gun! If they hunt they need to learn safety and RESPONSIBILITY! This alone would reduce gun deaths.

        So perhaps we could focus first on removing illegally owned weapons in the hands of illegal aliens? Obama did nothing about that in 8 years either - in fact, he and Holder shipped a whole bunch of firearms to the cartels.....
