The process for the proposed gun law that will allow more extensive background checks as well as more extreme penalties for gun trafficking has begun. One of the obstacles that was in the way, was the vote for lawmakers to debate on the issue. The vote for said debate took place today and won in a vote of 68-31. GOP senators who opposes the bill made an attempt to slow the process down, however Democrats and Republicans were able to get pass that. The next step is a vote on amendments, which would mostly effect universal background checks. “The plan would expand checks to gun-show and Internet sales, but exempt certain personal transactions.” I need to hear the voting on this. I mean, it’s not just ‘official’ gun permit holders who need this background check. The personal transactions need to be modified as well. Both side do have great arguments, but it’s still a SHAME.

President Obama Pushes Restrictions On Assault Weapons And Reveals The Gun-Control Proposal
President Obama has called on Congress for new and tougher restrictions on the assault weapons ban including 10 round limit on magazine clips. Also, he trying to bar the possession and importation of armor-piercing bullets and to require criminal background checks for every single gun sale that’s being made. It’s about time someone is putting their foot down. This is something that the government should have saw coming and fixed way before the gun thing got out of control. Obama shows us his 23 step plan towards anti-gun violence. Starting with 1. Issue a Presidential Memorandum to require federal agencies to make relevant data available to the federal background check system. Then, ending with 23. Launch a national dialogue led by Secretaries Sebelius and Duncan on mental health. I say he’s headed some where. Drop down bottom for more. JaaiR (JR)
