Quote from Ricter:
Logically, it is not "democrat controlled".
Pant all you want, the observable evidence is that if it were "controlled" by the dems then enough votes to block a filibuster would have been cast.Quote from PiggyBank:
There is nothing logical about your statement. the Senate IS in fact, democrat controlled. You may mean it isn't controlled by the far left anti-American fascists like the douche who occupies the WH, and most of his admin.

Anyone can check the "No" box and bada bing bada boom...
I've applied for BTAF approval to own a sound suppressor. Part of the paper work asked for "proof" that I'm a US citizen. The "proof", a form asking for the name of the applicant - me. The name of the person verifying my status - me.
And then signed at the bottom by - me.
Bada bing bada boom the BTAF now officially considers me a US citizen.
It depends on the state of course. But the typical incompetence of government bureaucracy applies to "background checks" as well as everything else.Quote from PiggyBank:
That is ridiculous, but if it is that easy then plenty of crazy people have bought guns before. What do we pay regulators for if we don't even have like a 'don't sell to list' or something.
So right now, a psychotic individual can be released from a mental hospital, and just go by a gun?

I read right here just the other day that in NV released mental patients are bused to other states, literally.
Quote from Ricter:
Yes, and it is not, thanks to today's vote, a requirement to check if a documented insane person is trying to illegally buy a weapon at a gun show or over the internet.
