Congress passes NRA riders, criminals every where cheer.

Anonymous
The use of appropriations riders to enact policy changes, however, has reached new heights in the area of firearms. Beginning in the late 1970s and accelerating over the past decade, Congress, at the behest of the National Rifle Association, or NRA, and others in the gun lobby, began incrementally chipping away at the federal government’s ability to enforce the gun laws and protect the public from gun crime. The NRA freely admits its role in ensuring that firearms-related legislation is tacked onto budget bills, explaining that doing so is “the legislative version of catching a ride on the only train out of town.”
Inserting policy directives in spending bills bypasses the traditional process, which allows for more careful review and scrutiny of proposed legislation. Appropriations bills are intended to allocate funding to government agencies to ensure that they are capable of fulfilling their missions and performing essential functions. But the gun riders directed at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, or ATF, do exactly the opposite and instead impede the agency’s ability to function and interfere with law-enforcement efforts to curb gun-related crime by creating policy roadblocks in service to the gun lobby. As a group, the riders have limited how ATF can collect and share information to detect illegal gun trafficking, how it can regulate firearms sellers, and how it partners with federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies.

I hate to say this, but I'm beginning to wish that Wayne LaPierre and the rest of the NRA leadership would reap what they sow. Or, stated another way, that the Grim Reaper would reap them in the same way that so many innocent victims of gun violence have been taken. I know that sounds wrong, but through their actions they have the blood of innocents on their hands.

The outrage always passes. "Never again" becomes "yes, again."

"Acceptable losses" is the term I've settled on for how Americans feel about gun deaths.

Violent criminals cannot vote. How on earth could your statistic ever be even theoretically true?

Perhaps they were registered before they committed a crime?

Do you not get a voter card in the mail?

You should look at your statement. Criminal Justice computers? How hard is it to look up someone on a public record?

Great, then I'm sure you have the data to support your claim. Let's see it.

Republican Party is the party of criminals. Who supports gun trafficking, no head of the ATF, untraceable ammo, allowing criminals to buy guns, allowing people with restraining orders to buy guns...republicans. Great party.

In 12 states violent criminals never get the right to vote restored. In many states the right to vote is restored after a waiting period.

Louisiana immediately restores the right to purchase a gun to all violent and non violent criminals upon completion of their sentence & parole with no judicial review.

Why are you doing this? If you have the data to support your claim, just show it. If you pulled it out of your ass, admit it and go wash your hands.

So what you are saying is that (1) there is no such thing as online public records (2) there is no voter registration records to tap into and (3) there is no record of convicted felons.

Or are you saying that those who are now convicted felons never registered to vote?
