DEMOCRATS  PUSH  TO  PREVENT  GUN  SALES  TO  "TERROR-LIST SUSPECTS" (ARTICLE BELOW)


FILE - In this June 2, 2015, file photo, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., speaks with reporters on Capitol Hill in Washington. People on the U.S. government's terrorist watch list can't board commercial airliners, but they can walk into a gun store and legally buy pistols and powerful military-style rifles. The new Democratic push, which is considered unlikely to succeed in the GOP-controlled Congress, is focused on legislation by Feinstein that would let the attorney general compile a list of 'known' and 'suspected terrorists'.

The Democratic push seems likely to fall victim to opposition from the National Rifle Association and congressional gun-rights backers, chiefly Republicans, who have smothered firearms curbs for years. If the Republicans who control Congress block votes on the proposal, Democrats hope to profit politically by winning sympathy from 'angry voters'. (There is no 'vote' in the united states - all is a sham - if it does show up as a 'win' for the Dems, it will be a contrived 'win' controlled by the Soros 'vote counting' machines and their operators in Spain.)

"By leaving this terrorist loophole open, Republicans are leaving every community in America vulnerable to attacks by terrorists armed with assault rifles and explosives purchased legally, in broad daylight," Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said Friday in a written statement. (Harry needs to meet with the CIA mind control handlers doing all the programming on innocent young people; then he will find out why they are shooting others.)

The bill by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., would have the attorney general compile names of known and suspected terrorists, likely drawing from huge lists the government already keeps. Federally licensed gun dealers would be barred from selling firearms to people on that list if government officials believed they planned to use the weapons for terrorism.

Gun dealers are prohibited from selling to 10 categories of people, including many convicted criminals or those with severe mentally illness. (According to this phony 'gov', isn't everyone BUT them suffering from 'severe mental illness'?)

But people appearing on the government's terror watch lists — including those kept off from airlines — are not automatically disqualified from buying weapons from gun dealers. The FBI is notified when a background check for the purchase of firearms or explosives generates a match with the watch list, and agents often use that information to step up surveillance on suspects.

By law, people can try persuading the Justice Department to remove their names from terror lists or can file lawsuits challenging their inclusion. The lists are overwhelmingly composed of foreigners. (By 'foreigners', they must be referring to us - as most of us are considered a 'terrorist suspect' according to the red and blue lists.)

Between 2004 and 2014, people on one terror watch list underwent background checks to buy guns 2,233 times and were allowed to make the purchase 91 percent of the time, according to a March report by the Government Accountability Office, an investigative agency of Congress.  (You mean they are telling us they allowed a patriot or a veteran or a Christian to purchase a gun? Amazing!)

NRA spokeswoman Jennifer Baker noted that there have been numerous instances of innocent people mistakenly added to terror lists. She also accused Democrats of trying to take advantage of heightened public alarm following last week's attacks in Paris, which claimed at least 130 lives and for which the Islamic State, which has also threatened the U.S., has claimed responsibility.

"It is appalling that anti-gun politicians are exploiting the Paris terrorist attacks to push their gun-control agenda and distract from President Obama's failed foreign policy," Baker said.

Feinstein's measure echoes legislation that the late Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., proposed repeatedly over the last decade and that Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., has long pushed. None of those measures has ever received a vote.

Feinstein introduced her bill in February. But last week's mass killings in Paris have injected new life into terrorism and public safety as top-tier political issues. (Do you suppose - just follow me on this - that the PROVEN Paris FALSE FLAG was a set-up to be used to further along the commie's efforts to confiscate guns from Americans?? These basta*ds are really good )

Just Thursday, Republicans took advantage of voters' security jitters and muscled legislation through the House preventing Syrian and Iraqi refugees from entering the U.S. until the administration tightens restrictions on their entry. ("Tighten up?"  Who do they think they are kidding?  'Tighten up' while this 'admin' sneaks them in on ships, busses and UPS flights, packed to the last inch, unloads them and drives them off in commerical busses and Homeland Security white busses - all with the windows blacked out???)

Forty-seven Democrats voted for the bill, ignoring a veto threat by President Barack Obama, who said the current screening system is strong (Isn't this basta*d known worldwide as a LIAR?) and accused Republicans of playing on panicked voters.

House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis. did not respond directly when asked Thursday if he favored barring people on terror lists from buying guns. "We are just beginning this process of reassessing all of our security stances," he said.

Donald Stewart, spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said McConnell has not said whether he would be open to a vote on Feinstein's bill.

But opposition from Republicans and some Democrats to curbing firearms runs deep, and such legislation would require support from 60 of the 100 senators. Democrats could not attain that margin even when they had a Senate majority in the months after the 2012 massacre of 20 first-graders and six adults in Newtown, Connecticut. (Like Paris, the Newtown/Sandy Hook event was a STAGED false flag - these people have been seen in false flags SINCE that Connecticut event - all bullsh*t.)

Though the Senate had showdown votes on gun curbs in early 2013, it did not revisit the issue as the 2014 elections approached and Reid opted to protect vulnerable Democrats from potentially angering constituents.

The GOP-run House has held no votes on major gun control measures since the Newtown (Sandy Hook) killings.

Feinstein's bill isn't the only gun-related measure Democrats may pursue. A measure by Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., would bar gun sales to foreigners in the U.S. from the 38 countries from which visitors need not have visas.

America, remember the 'red' and the 'blue' lists?  Who do you suppose is a 'suspect' on their "terror list"?   ALL who would be considered Patriots, Veterans, Conservatives, Christians, Constitutionalists, those desiring the restoration of our TRUE Republic government,  you and me - WE are on that 'terror list'!!  Remember the 'red' and the 'blue' lists?  WE are the 'enemy' as determined by the REAL enemy within - the criminal commie cabal who has control of this nation.  Obama is meeting with continued rejections from America's populace of his planned move to confiscate our guns, so he has charged his congressional commie cronnies to develop yet another approach to accomplish their gun confiscation goal.  There have already been admissions that their 'method' to check out those they are currently bringing into this nation does not work, and that it would take perhaps two years, give or take, to check out any potential 'immigrant', so this could not possibly apply to them.  Is it not OBVIOUS that this effort is directed at the TRUE Americans within our nation, those who oppose them and their criminal activities?  If you see the handwriting on the wall, better get ready to defend your position - contact the congressional traitors and demand they not mess with your Second Amendment right to bear arms - arms more than a water pistol and a pop gun - both of which will get a child arrested if caught with either one of them.
