        I cannot understand why we need new laws to do what existing laws mandate. This is micromanagement of the .@FBI

        You can’t understand what’s ineffective about your current gun laws? It isn’t graphically obvious? Good Job Bill! YOU GET IT👍🏻

        The .@fbi should inform state authorities on any felon's attempt at buying a fire arm. Why does Congress need to pass a law on that matter? This is insanity. Are we becoming a banana republic? Maybe it's already too late, I am afraid.

        I agree that’s a start. We can’t stop there and say oh look what we have done. The pressure had to be put on Marco Rubio to step up to the plate! Senator Nelson I know you want more than what this bill has. We support you!

        I can’t believe people (or paid trolls) here are complaining about these logical micro baby steps to keeping our children safe. Red flag much?

        Ahh another law that you won’t be able to enforce. Our own government doesn’t even follow the laws due to “insufficient staffing”... it’s all bullshit.

        It’s a federal crime 4 a felon or other prohibited gun purchaser to try & buy a gun. In 2009 out of 6 mil background checks, 71k were denied. 4700 were investigated. Investigators were asked to file 140 charges. 77 were filed. 77 out of 71k. #EnforceCurrentLaws

        Obama typically just ignored laws or unconstitutionally “changed” them.
