Default H.R. 2159: Closing Loop Hole on Non Convected People Buying Guns.

Well some idiot up in New York is trying to push through another gun grabbing bill. It seems there is a loop hole in the system, people who have NOT been convected of crime are being allow to buy a firearm

The men who made our system of government understood that individuals could not be trusted with too much power, and by separating power into executive, legislative and judicial branches created a clockwork mechanism of checks and balances. Representative Peter King of New York seeks to unbalance the system our constitution created by shifting the balance of power to the executive branch and at the same time making it easier to block gun ownership.

The snappy title to H.R. 2159 is "Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act of 2009". Who wouldn't vote for that? This bill seeks to add verbiage to the federal laws on US Code 18, section 922 which deals with unlawful acts when dealing with firearms by licensed FFL dealers. It adds words that have the effect of making Attorney General Eric Holder the final arbiter of whether or not anyone can pass the Instant Background Check and buy a gun.

The meat of it says:"The Attorney General may determine that an applicant for a firearm permit which would qualify for an exemption under section 922(t) is known (or appropriately suspected) to be or have been engaged in conduct constituting, in preparation for, in aid of, or related to terrorism, or providing material support thereof, and the Attorney General has a reasonable belief that the applicant may use a firearm in connection with terrorism.;" (Emphasis Added)
H.R. 2159 is yet another grab for guns by the government

Ya, and neither one of those list are worth a flip. It's just an excuse to hand the power of our Second Amendment Rights over to Attorney General Eric Holder.

Well, I dont really blame the idiots for trying to make laws like this, I blame the voters that keep voting for the idiots.

Which one is more stupid, the idiot, or the person who voted the idiot into office?

This is true although in defense of my fellow Americans, politicans only lie when their mouthws are open. I mean how many times has these idiots lied to the people? example, Nancy Pelosi would set a Genius record for being caugh with the most lies per minute.
