You already can, wrongful death lawsuits are a real thing that exists now.

Really though, the NRA and other gun groups love that the check process frustrates gun owners. That’s a big part of why they fight any attempt to modernise the system, because a simple and useable background check system would be easy to get used to, and could actually make legally buying guns easier.

In what sense is lending guns to others considered “well-regulated”?

I don’t think people should be firearms enthusiasts. That sounds so idiotic to me.

If you look at her entire comment, you will see that her comment is based on the premise that the reason Cortez [Crenshaw] won’t be able to loan guns to his friends is because they wouldn’t be able to pass a firearms background check.

The only person who said they couldnt pass a background check was AOC.

Dont pretend you need an excuse to declare anyone right of center fair game.

If a brown person loans a gun to another brown person and is caught = jail time.

The liability isnt different from a car.

Yes, but only if he does not know that said person is prohibited from ownership.

Not really a thing.

Also, where are his friends going where it would actually be useful to have a gun on one’s person? Somalia?

This is a straw purchase and I am not ok with it.

Hot take: I still find it a little weird that we’re all apparently fine with attempting to kill someone because he tried to steal your purse.

Is there a string attache to the background check proposal that would require an FFL get involved?

Dang, from the headline I thought Sanders had announced his choice of running mate was AOC.

All he had to do was accept legislation that would legalize Dreamers. It would have been bipartisan.

Calling it now, all that cash is gonna disappear into a thousand different kickbacks, bribes, etc. before an inch of wall is built.

No one should give their property to the government for any reason without just compensation.

Why would we imprison anyone for trespassing or theft when we can just give them free stuff even cheaper than the enforcement actions?
