[T Bill 649]

Don't even get me started about this South Florida democRAT whose district, FL23, sits next to Parkland (FL22).  You should remember her from Clinton and the DNC debacle, former Chairperson. Richard Bleumental (D-CT) has got her back in the senate.  You know the second richest Senator in the US.  When will we ever just start emptying the Swamp.

Why is she not in jail... (sarcasm, not)...

Only because she has a D after her name, and I'm sorry to say that it doesn't officially mean DUMBSHIT, but that's the gist of it.

Because there wasn't enough space after they locked Hillary and all her friends up...

Oh, wait....

Requiring a background check to buy ammo is like requiring a drivers test every time you buy gas...

[Paulie Buffo 17]

Coming from the person who "waived background checks" for people she hired for high security positions.

Well first off she’s wrong. The DC court of appeals in Herrington vs The United States ruled on it,

“[F]rom the Court’s reasoning [in Heller], it logically follows that the right to keep and bear arms extends to the possession of handgun ammunition in the home; for if such possession could be banned (and not simply regulated), that would make it “impossible for citizens to use [their handguns] for the core lawful purpose of self-defense.” By the same token, given the obvious connection between handgun ammunition and the right protected by the Second Amendment, we are hard-pressed to see how a flat ban on the possession of such ammunition in the home could survive heightened scrutiny of any kind. We therefore conclude that the Second Amendment guarantees a right to possess ammunition in the home that is coextensive with the right to possess a usable handgun there”

The Supreme Court chose not to take up the case so the DC Court of Appeals ruling stands. 

As far as if this could be deemed as regulating the purchase of ammo, that would be the question. A NICS check costs about $15 a box of 9mm costs about $9 most courts would increasing the cost of the use of a right to be on shaky ground to begin with. 

The left is using the “cigarette” playbook on guns. Add taxes that they say will be used to “fix” other things while simultaneously saying the increase in prices reduces the sales of the item. Unfortunately for them, guns are a constitutional right, cigarettes are not.

It's low hanging fruit for a politician to say "look I did something".
