| Newark, N.J., Mayor Cory Booker contended that closing down private gun sales would dramatically cut the number of domestic violence slayings. “What we see in Newark is that law abiding citizens buying guns are not causing the crime. It is that criminals can so easily get their hands on guns,” Booker said last night on MSNBC. “…You have an overwhelming majority of gun owners agree with instant background checks, agree that we should end the gun show loophole and end these secondary markets.” “The best data point I have on this is that when you

Comments: This would really make a difference to all the criminals in Chicago and other high crime cities. Heavy s/o This gun control fiasco sure is showing the true colors of Democrats and their complete disregard for the Constitution. You have to wonder if this happened before the election it could have changed the outcome. Too late now.

Booker needs to focus on angry men who will kill women by whatever means necessary. They don´t need funs.

Hmmm. So Mr. Booker thinks guns are the bane of women?
Tell that to the half-million female babies left as puddles on Planned Parenthood clinic floors every year...
Or just pour yourself a cup of tea to go with that sanctimony.

FTA: "What we see in Newark is that law abiding citizens buying guns are not causing the crime. It is that criminals can so easily get their hands on guns,"
Make a magic law such that all gun sales go through a background check and the only thing that would change is that criminals would simply break another law when buying guns from one another, or stealing them. This joker will go far in Democrat politics; not too bright, just the right skin tone.

There is no gun show loophole. People who buy at gun shows must have background checks, the same as gun stores. This gov´t has made rich people the bad guys, now it is the gun shows. Stop falling for this crap, people.

Why don´t the dems crack down on the criminals who use guns the way they want to crack down on the guns themselves? Silly question, criminals are a big part of their constituency.

Actually as you make guns more difficult for law abiding citizens to obtain you would likely see a rise in the number of women murdered. There´s a good reason a gun is known as an equalizer.
These gun-banners are irrationally focused on gun shows. They are the monster under the bed for them. None bother to find out that the percentage of criminals who obtain weapons at gun shows is in the low single digits. Closing every gun show would have no effect on crime. None. Zip. Nil.
And the "gun show loophole"? Do they even know what that is? That "loophole" is just private, law abiding citizens engaging in private legal transactions to buy/sell a legal product. Just as you might sell an old appliance to a friend or neighbor. All licensed dealers peform background checks at gun shows just like they do in their stores.

#5 nailed it. I have been to a number of gun shows in Texas and have never seen anyone who resembled a "gang banger". Most attendees appear to me to be middle class gun enthusiasts of all races.
I´m sure that once private sales are outlawed the thief who steals a gun won´t sell it to a gang banger because it would be against the law. Good grief are these liberals that naive or just that stupid?

Restrict gun ownership to those who vote Republican, and the gun crime rate will dip drastically.
If they don´t want to own guns, then they can divest. Just like those who advocate for higher taxes can pay more. But, in either case, they will not.

Let´s start by confiscating all guns held by black people.

All you have to know is history is our teacher and nothing good has ever come from gun confiscation. There are millions upon millions of dead in other countries who disarmed like the liberals are trying to accomplish in this country. You must ask yourself what is their end game because it sure isn´t public safety.

Oh, Corey. You had promise at one time. It´s gone, though. Sad.
Gang bangers who kill women will kill then with or without a gun. They are also not going anywhere near a gun show. Know why? Because gun shows are filled with ATF agents and cops. And not as customers. They´re watching everything anyone does. Illegal transactions at a gun show would be very, very difficult to accomplish.

Also, let´s not forget that all those female (and male) puddles left at the abortion clinic, are all innocent babies who had the misfortune of having a mother that murdered them.

"The right to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED." Seems exceedingly clear.
Too stupid to understand it, or too dishonest to follow the pledge to ´preserve and protect the Constitution´?
I´m thinking BOTH.

The Senate voted down an amendment to the upper chamber´s immigration bill proposed by Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) that would require a full biometric visa tracking system placed at every land, sea, and air port of entry in the United States before legalized immigrants could receive green cards. The measure, which was also called for by the 9/11 Commission in the wake of the 2001 terrorist attacks, would establish a biometric exit-entry system.

The immigration reform bill drawn up by the Senate Gang of 8 would boost the economy and lower the deficit, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office says in a report out today. The newly released, and highly anticipated, report from the government’s nonpartisan bookkeeper comes as the Senate debates the bipartisan immigration legislation offered by the Gang of 8 and the House moves forward on a more piecemeal approach.

NEW YORK — The New York Police Department´s widespread spying programs directed at Muslims have undermined free worship by innocent people and should be declared unconstitutional, religious leaders and civil rights advocates said Tuesday after the filing of a federal lawsuit. "Our mosque should be an open, religious and spiritual sanctuary, but NYPD spying has turned it into a place of suspicion and censorship," Hamid Hassan Raza, an imam named as a plaintiff, told a rally outside police headquarters shortly after the suit was filed in federal court in Brooklyn.

While the controversy over the National Security Agency surveillance program has dominated the news recently, concern about the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of Tea Party groups and other conservative organizations remains high and is inching up. Despite the large number of controversies engulfing official Washington, the number of people following the IRS scandal has actually increased in recent weeks. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 82% of voters nationwide are now following the IRS targeting story, including 44% who are following the story

Mixed-race people are more likely to be considered black by conservatives, who are subconsciously attempting to “justify racial divisions,” said the authors of a new government-funded study. The report, originally released earlier this month, has begun attracting criticism from those who see political bias in the results. The study was conducted by graduate students and faculty in the psychology department of New York University. Researchers asked participants to look at pictures of mixed-race people and say whether they

The Clintons are getting the old band back together again for one last geriatric tour. Hillary 2016. Because 22 years of Clintons dominating the Beltway isn’t enough. Her campaign slogan: “Vote for me. I am a woman. What difference does it make?” The Draft Hillary movement is really taking off. There hasn’t been this much excitement behind a Draft Hillary movement since, well, the last time there was a Draft Hillary movement. Remember that? Back in 2008? When she was the “inevitable nominee?” She was the “most electable” Democrat running? She was the only one who

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

Five months into his second term, allies and enemies are as confounded as ever about who President Obama really is. Is he the dyed-in-the-wool liberal that his biggest supporters and critics suggest? Or is he a pragmatic, even cynical, politician who cares more for his popularity than taking risks for his ideological goals or living up to his rhetoric? Even in the short period since his reelection, Obama has provided evidence to support conflicting interpretations. His efforts to pass immigration reform, the unsuccessful push for stricter gun controls and tax hikes on high earners buttress the case for Obama-as-ideologue.

During his interview with ABC’s Jonathan Karl this morning, Rubio didn’t even seem to understand what that meant. “Are you being played by the Democrats?” asked Karl. “Is Chuck Schumer playing you?” “I don’t — I quite frankly, I don’t even know what that means,” Rubio replied. “Is he using you?” Karl continued. “Is he using you to try to accomplish something that the Democrats want and is not — not a conservative bill?” Rubio responded that immigration reform was a bi-partisan issue that “all Americans

We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.
