Let's consider the NRA claim that expanded background checks — even the scaled-back checks the bill specified, far from the universal checks the president wanted — would infringe the right of law-abiding, responsible citizens to own guns.

this is justanother case of politicians maintaining the dumbass status quo. classic of senators to cockblock human advancement by catering to yokels clinging to bygone fears of government takeovers.
