This is where the Progressives really 'break down' and lose all moderates and critically thinking Americans.
They didn't like the idea of ICE being notified if an undocumented resident tries to buy a firearm.
I'm still trying to figure this one out. There are all sorts of restrictions we're putting on law abiding citizens, ones that have committed no crime, that prevents them from buying a firearm.
Yet someone who is not tracked...
And doesn't show up in a system...
And cannot be verified at all...
Because they commit fraud on the paperwork...
Oh, we don't worry about them. And yes, I know the statistics. I also know the detailed statistics too, and that flips the argument. I.e., non-inner city citizen rates of repeat, violent crime.
As always... I don't form my own opinion. I talk to law enforcement to understand their view on the matter. So...
Worry about citizens at gun shows?
But not undocumented residents?
This is why Americans look at this, objectively, and go...
"Oh, special protections and privileges... For who again? Someone who just committed fraud on a form to buy something that only citizens, who are of excellent standing, should be able to do?"
Fraud is fraud is fraud... Stop supporting it. Yes, turn them into ICE if they go try to buy a gun. It's bad enough the FBI doesn't get to prosecute the tens of thousands who commit fraud every year because of how the law is written (protecting existing criminals too).
And, again, I know how the police feel about that one. They really hate the laws on the books that protect seemingly everyone but the law abiding citizen.
So... AOC et al. can threaten those 26 House Democrats all they want. I just see this backfiring. At some point... Well, broken record.
As always... Just your resident, objective Libertarian saying... "I get it, Democratic voters want people to stop demonizing undocumented residents... But don't let Democratic representatives pull this BS, and undermine citizens either." It looks worse than hypocritical, but 'special rights.'

QUOTE: 'The bill includes a Republican amendment requiring that gun sellers notify Immigration and Customs Enforcement when an illegal immigrant tries to buy a gun. Twenty-six Democrats joined with Republicans to support the amendment, offered by Rep. Doug Collins, R-Ga.'
