Gun bill background checks fails Senate Vote. — Page 3

At the risk of trying to get this thread back on topic, for those of us who are ashamed and embarrassed by our Congress, there are things we can do beyond complaining on internet boards. The link below brings you to the PAC run by Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly, responsible gun owners who support reasonable gun control.

Just out of curiosity, how would these new background checks have prevented the Newtown shootings? All of those guns were purchased legally, with a background check, and were obtained illegally by the shooter. Whenever my family have purchased a gun we have had background checks done before being able to buy it, and wouldn't be able to if we had a criminal record.
It wouldn't have helped save any of those children because the guns were purchased legally, and still would have been purchased legally by his mother even with the new background checks, but they were stolen and used to commit that heinous act.

So Abby,is the way you see it, "why make it harder to obtain guns since that wouldn't have helped in Newtown? There goes your twisted brain. We're trying to whatever little we can, and making it harder to obtain guns is a step in the right direction.

Seriously? Engaging with that troll is ridiculous, even to me.

Put down the pipe, Jane!
