Post by scott9050 »

Apparently they have reached a deal and we get to see how far the screw job goes:

I hear that Chuck Schumer is on board with this deal. What could possibly go wrong?

Oh, I almost forgot about the possible 'gotcha' for private sales that are advertised on the internet. This might be something...(emphasis is mine)
A bipartisan group of senators has struck a deal to expand gun background checks to all commercial sales — whether at gun shows, via the Internet or in any circumstance involving paid advertising, according to Senate aides familiar with the talks.

The law would not cover private transactions between individuals, unless there was advertising or an online service involved.

Seems like Manchin and Toomey may have cut some kind of deal.

If you tell anyone you want to sell... that's advertising.

Politicians have such a slick way with words, don't they? I'm tired of it - just be up front, because if you get something past "We the people" by tricking us, then there is something seriously wrong (i.e. Obamacare and a plethora of other legislation that's been passed in the last decade).

Smooth-talking back-biters. All of'em.

Is posting in the VGOF "For sale or trade" section considered advertising or online service? This could be :thumbsdown: .

Awesome, I can privately sell as long as myself and a potential customer both happen to have telepathy since apparently communicating the fact I want to sell is verboten.

Congressman Bob Goodlatte has posted a petition to urge Warner and Kaine to vote against Universal Background checks. He's getting torn up by trolling libs in the comment section. You think we should comment there and give him some support?
