"(GOP) NRA supporters in the U.S. Senate shot dead a proposal to toughen background checks for proud Second Amendment murderers who want to buy a bazooka in order to better massacre America's children."
So much for civility.

That
is pretty outrageous.
"Second Amendment murderers" seems a euphemism most aptly applied to those who would destroy the right to own and carry arms in our states. Quite simply, the liberty-haters attempting to do what they did with S.649's passage
are that crowd, in a very real sense. Of course, that's hardly what the person making the ridiculous claim meant.
As if bringing in bazookas helps make the claim any less outrageous. In fact it makes it even worse. One would think that requiring our Senators uphold their sworn oaths to protect and defend the Constitution has meaning. It's hard to fathom how a person can see this as equating to preferring murderers exist, let alone preferring murderers should find it simple to arm themselves with bazookas.
Want crime control, instead of merely citizen-held firearm control? Then erase from our midst the violent criminals who get caught doing their ugly deeds; do NOT let them out of prison early; execute the worst of them; execute the violent recidivists; require serious background evaluations of all persons coming into this country; stop criminalizing ownership/carry of arms by citizens who are merely seeking to defend themselves against crime; and restrict whatever proposals are made that dare to undermine or sidestep the Constitution.
That will be a good start. It'll both be constitutional
and it won't hardly make bazooka acquisition by murderers any simpler.
