Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) has launched a talking filibuster on the Senate floor in an effort to force Republicans and Democrats to come to an agreement on legislation to deny suspected terrorists from purchasing firearms and requiring universal background checks.
Since background checks are already required to purchase firearms, Politico, the Senator, or both are lying about this. And even if checking the FBI's Watch List for people for whom the FBI had substantial indications of ties to terrorists were required, Mateen never made that list, and had been removed from the FBI's list of people they were investigating, more than a year before buying his guns. So this, too, would have had zero effect on the slaughter in Orlando.
And, to be blunt, given the eagerness of Obama's
InJustice Department and Ds generally to label theologically conservative Christians, Pro-Life People, and political conservatives as terrorists and terror threats,
the Federal Government cannot be trusted with that power to screw up innocent people's lives!
