Don’t vote for this guy. We deserve better representation. When I still lived there, I voted against him in every primary. The guys a big gov't liberal who's been in Congress for way, way too long.

The anti 2A gang games the judicial system with zero consequences. It there a reason pro 2A groups don’t do it? Or at least not successfully. I've always thought this, heather it's Gun laws or immigration, conservatives should file in a friendly court like, IIRC, the 5th circuit and get a pro-gun or pro-immigration enforcement ruling before the libs go to the 9th for there shit ruling.

Universal background checks don't erode Second Amendment Written by Chris Smith: When I voted for the Brady Law in 1993, which took effect Feb. 28, 1994, it was to keep firearms out of the hands of dangerous persons including felons and abusers. Twenty-five years later — and 300 million background checks that have blocked 3 million purchases to dangerous individuals — few if any today seriously suggest that the Brady law should be repealed. I support the Second Amendment. Universal background checks prescribed in H.R. 8 are an attempt to ensure that firearms are procured, owned and used by responsible, law abiding citizens. According to the Brady Campaign, about one in five guns now sold in America are done without a background check. That’s a significant loophole. According to the CDC, there was a record 39,773 deaths from firearms in 2017 — 23,854 were self-inflicted and 14,542 were homicides. To mitigate gun violence in America, H.R. 8 expands Brady background checks to transactions by private sellers not currently covered by the law. Multiple school shootings have led to robust, comprehensive action at every level to make classrooms safer. I have visited many schools in my district, and I have found that while the threat is being taken seriously, no one policy, program or initiative can ensure the level of protection our students need and deserve. No constitutional right is absolute, including the Second Amendment. The First Amendment’s freedom of speech, for example, has reasonable limits including the promulgation of slander and libel law. To preserve public order, we accept reasonable restrictions on the freedom to assemble. Even freedom of religion isn’t without some modest boundaries. In like manner, universal background checks don’t erode Second Amendment rights but do help ensure much-needed protection from gun violence for everyone. Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J. 4th Congressional District https://www.app.com/story/opinion/readers/2019/02/28/universal-background-checks-dont-erode-second-amendment-letter/3008418002/ The fact that Smith talks about "transactions" and H.R. 8 talks about "transfers" means that he doesn't even understand the law.

Kevin125 4,772 Posted March 12, 2019 I contacted his office telling them no one in my immediate or extended family will be voting for him in 2020 and that before he dismisses the dozen or so votes he is losing, he needs to realize that I am just a sampling of what his constituents think about his Op Ed and other anti 2A statements he has made over the years. He personally probably could not care less about my message. But if he loses, I plan to follow up with an “ I told you so” message. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
revenger 472 Posted March 12, 2019 If there is a chance that we loose this battle at the national level it should be demanded that NICS be made available anyone requesting a background check for a private sale or purchase. Free of charge of course! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the law is passed at the federal level than the federal govt. should provide a method for private FTF background checks that is accessible for free to all whom may want to use it. I'm in no way advocating for a background check, just saying if we loose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
