^ scripted.

Also repealing the 2nd amendment will never happen and the bill that they are trying to pass doesn't even come close to beginning to chip away at it.

They give you freedom to have your tinfoil hattery, I just wish they also gave the rest of us freedom from this kind of tinfoil hattery as well.

Restricting peoples' rights to own firearms is chipping away at it, and it's exactly why this wasn't passed. Background checks while nice would solve nothing, and making certain firearms illegal chips away at the 2nd amendment.

Watch the video of that guy's fake petition and see how dumb people are. Granted it's southern California but the level of stupid is still higher than expected.

This is why I believe amendments to bills in Congress should not be allowed.

Sometimes amendments to bills are done on purpose anticipating the bills will fail. It gives one party ammunition against the other. This bill for instance lets the democrats argue that the GOP is against even such sensible legislation as expanded background checks. Makes them look good and the GOP look bad; and the American people are dumb and naive enough to fall for it because they won't pay attention to the whole bill and what caused it to fail in the first place. They'll just see "omg no expanded background checks, GOP is teh evil."
