Republicans Cave In - Senators near a deal on background checks for most private gun sales

February 24, 2013
Source: Washington Post

A bipartisan group of senators is on the verge of a deal that would expand background checks to all private firearms sales with limited exemptions, but significant disagreements remain on the issue of keeping records of private gun sales, according to aides familiar with the talks.

An agreement would be a bold first step toward consideration of legislation to limit gun violence in the wake of the mass shootings at a Connecticut elementary school in December and comes as the Senate Judiciary Committee is expected this week to begin considering new proposals to limit gun violence.

The talks, led by two Democrats and two Republicans, are expected to earn more GOP support in the coming days and likely enough to move the bill through the Senate, according to senior aides of both parties who were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.

“These negotiations are challenging, as you’d expect on an issue as complicated as guns,” the chief negotiator, Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.), said in a statement Saturday. “But all of the senators involved are approaching this in good faith. We are all serious about wanting to get something done, and we are going to keep trying.”

Black Blade: As I have been saying, the Republican Party is dead. They are as useless as balls on a priest and tits on a nun . They won't even stand up on their hind legs and fight when they have a winning position against gun control. I wash my hands of them.

well it ain't rally democrats and republicans working together,

what it is is that Obamma held out a sack full of $$$ hoping there would be enough crooks in the rupea-ublican party stupid and greedy enough to grab the sack of $$ and run--

looks like greed wins one for the socialist -

-- Obamma is smart enough to use the republican weakness "greed" against us all.

Well either way they are just are just making decisions irregardless of what America really wants. Sure waving letters from school age kids looks good but trying to enforce issues pushed by people who DONT EVEN OWN GUNS, seems to be the knee jerk to both parties. Repubs caved on taxes, and will most ikely continue to cave lest they be potrayed as "unapproachable" or "extremists". This contry started to take a dive when our elected representatives started bending your morals in pursuit of self gain. Now is not the time for the party which proclaims it represents "The Moral of America" to start bending with the tide.

You're dead on Bill. There really isn't a Democratic and Republican party anymore. They are all just actors portraying what they are told by their puppetmaster(s) to do. They pretend to fight over an issue, just like television wrestlers do. The outcome is already known. The Republicans come to a "compromise" with the Democrats, and they institute some new law, rule, regulation, or whatever that was EXACTLY what they wanted all along. I am so freaking sick of this sham that is Washington Politics, it's not even funny. We are WAY past the point where our founding fathers would have been spurred into action.

So Tim wants to sell Grandmas gun too his neighbor..
"Hello, this is Tim, I am selling a shotgun too my neighbor, I would like to...."
"Who is this? Your selling what? Who are you again?"
Those L.O.s do not have time for that crap.. The FFLs can not even get through for legal sales, and they want us calling.. WTF over..
Our L.O.s and Sheriffs keep asking who in the hell is going to enforce these commie mother friggers rules?

Only thing I see is cutting into fun shows.. They could nail people there.
Other than that, King George. Keep making your idiot rules, nobody is listening.

I believe Wyoming passed a bill saying they will not be adhering to any gun control laws passed by the fed... Since they did not enumerate the power to make that decision to the Fed as covered by the 10th Amendment. We will see how that plays out. It would be awesome.

I am hearing that the "Universal Background Check" is a done deal. This means even if you want to pass a family hierloom to your kids or grandkids it will have to be registered through a FFL so the Feral Government can track it. Effectively this means "gun registration" regardless of what they say otherwise.

Not really fools entirely wpage.. You nailed it.. What are we hearing about uncle sugars credit card? Nothing.
The more they talk about guns, keeping them front page. The less we hear of the fiscal cliff we are rapidly falling over..$$
When we hit bottom of that cliff, coming soon. Then the food riots start..
D.C. don't give a damn if we all kill each other.. Their worried about their own necks...
Guns got to go before the crash.. Their trying, it is not working..

The food riots might start anyway. Another dry year here and there will not be any cattle coming out of Nebraska or any of the heartland states. I saw this on the news about a week ago. We may have to fry up all the politicians in the country until the draught is over. So what if cannabilism is illegal, everything the politicians do is too.
