      Democrats are pleased to hear that @realDonaldTrump recognizes the need to strengthen the Fix NICS bill. If all Congress does in response to the Parkland shooting is to pass the Fix NICS bill, it would be an abject failure and a dereliction of our duty.

      At a minimum, the Congressional response to the Parkland shooting should include universal #BackgroundChecks legislation that would close the gun show and internet sales loopholes that allow guns to fall into the wrong hands.

          We hope GOP leaders will help pass real #gunsafety legislation that makes a difference; we can’t afford a bill that is simply aimed at pleasing the @NRA and making Republicans feel better but doesn’t get the job done. We need real results.

          There is no internet loophole, any gun purchased online has to be shipped to a federally licensed dealer. Stop trying to scare the voters and base decisions on facts, not how you feel about those facts.

          How does the universal background check legislation have anything to do with the Parkland situation? The shooter went through a check through a licensed dealer. There was no loophole here. #SmallGovVA11

          Sales between private parties needs reform period. There is zero regulation none, and I as a firearms owner and 2A supporter find that to be ridiculous.

          If I sold a gun through private sell to an individual who later turned out to be a convicted felon, that would be my backside!

          Yes, I have made private sales to friends of mine and we developed our own transfer of ownership documents because there aren’t any real ones.

          I agree that they should, at least, have to be transferred through licensed FFL dealer BUT, let’s not pretend that the individual selling the gun doesn’t assume major risk.

          Agreed, which is why I’ve only sold to friends that I’ve known and trusted most of my life.

          Yeah, so I was at a gun show with my friend who happens to be a Marine EOD Tech to purchased an AR-15 and they ran a background check on him at the gun show, so what loophole?

          You are aware the gun show loop hole has been deemed invalid by many who went under cover to various shows around America to try and buy gun. They all needed background checks.

          Chuckie, if u did your job u would have fixed the problem with back ground check failures. What did u know an when did u know the system was flawed ? Is it u who failed 17 kids an their families ? It’s called personal responsibility Chuckie... try it soon.
