@ehBeth,

That was one of the arguments for him to have made his last change, got a good plea negotiator. Now he's gone, and so is most of his money. Manafort is suppose to be hurting real bad too, Mueller has got all his spare funds blocked for possible capture.

If you don't want the gun immediately, reason says that's good enough to get it now. If you want it now, you are a candidate to having to wait.
The three day waiting period is a "cooling off" rule - for one reason. It is a state imposed restriction, currently!

The only reason for making someone wait after their background check has already been completed is to hassle people who want to exercise their rights.

Hassling people for no reason when they exercise their rights is unconstitutional.

The foul conspiracy nut NRA creeps have already started with their lies and smears.

The NRA has nothing whatsoever to do with the conspiracy nutcases.

Personally while I do think mental health issues should be considered in background checks (Trump changed that in a hurry)

No he didn't.

I have asked this before and I am sure others have too, but, other countries have children attending schools with mental health issues, yet they do not have mass killings in schools anything near like we have in the US.

Those countries also don't treat mentally ill people cruelly and abandon them.

Also, I have been reading of people modifying guns to become assault weapons. Why can we not ban the parts which makes the modifiers as well?

Because there is no reason to justify banning pistol grips.

Imagine how you would feel if you'd lost a small child in a mass shooting only to receive death threats from complete strangers. Those Sandy Hook parents are constantly having to look over their shoulders but Alex Jones can strut about like cock of the walk with no such constraints. It's just not right.

Maybe they shouldn't be trying to violate people's civil rights.

During a heated CNN-hosted town hall event on Wednesday night, National Rifle Association spokeswoman Dana Loesch told survivors of the Parkland, Florida school shooting that she was “fighting” for them. But Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel was quick to shut her down.

Interrupting Loesch’s response to a question about assault weapons, Israel stressed that she was “not standing up” for survivors of gun violence.

“I understand that you’re standing up for the NRA … but you just told this group of people that you’re standing up for them,” he said. “You are not standing up for them until you say, ‘I want less weapons.’”

The sheriff’s words were met with cheers and a standing ovation.

Freedom Haters hate freedom. What else would you expect of freedom haters?

Vote the NRA (republican or democrat) congressman and women out. It is time for common sense.

Why do people who support fascism or who oppose civil rights always claim common sense?

glitterbag might as well be called glitterid.

Horrible things happen to a great many people but it doesn't make any of them policy experts.

The phony CNN "townhall" was a shameful farce. I've lost all respect for Jake Tapper.

Pretty much everything on CNN sucks.

Sen. Pat Roberts supports placing an age restriction on the rifle that was used in a Florida school shooting where 17 people died.

The Kansas Republican said he believes Congress is ready to act and expects President Donald Trump to take the lead.

"This is an opportunity, if you look at these youngsters who are so emotionally tied in to this grief of losing their friends — but it’s more than gun control. But I think we’re ready as a Congress to actually pass something and I think it’s going to be better background checks. Certainly nobody under 21 should have an AR-15," Roberts told reporters at the Kansas Statehouse.

They are trying to abolish our freedom and they hate anyone who protects freedom.

Good job, Roberts. Make the entire focus on pistol grips so the NRA will have no trouble defeating everything again and the courts will strike down whatever makes it past the NRA.

If someone opposes any civil rights, I think that is enough to label them as an opponent of civil rights.

The armed deputy at the school in Parkland never entered after the shooting started. He resigned today.

@BillW,

When leaks come out from the Mueller investigation about how it has probed into the Democrats side of this affair, I will take it seriously. Until then it's all partisan bullshit.
