A striking contrast.

Except that I'm for background checks on all sales. Your belligerence and demonization of opposition seems to be your objective here. That is not moderation. We will try again in the near future and we'd be well advised to settle on where common ground exists, unless you just want this want this to be a midterm poll issue.

I'm starting to think that the Coburn Nics webkey idea should be quickly adopted as an optional tool for gun sellers. I don't that legislation would be needed to get started. I would use it for any sale that I did and it would allow for kinks to be worked out before it was mandated for all sales

Except for when such a bill is actually put forward. Then you're against it. Because criminals will all arm themselves no matter what, or so your rhetoric would lead us to believe.

...Except that I was for it. Evidence is in these forums. I'm merely advising of how to pass it on a second attempt since it didn't go through the first time and the Senate contains the same people as it did a month ago. And the House hasn't discussed it yet. You can keep putting a square peg into a round hole, but I think it sounds foolish

That's a fair point; I guess what I'm responding to was your triumphalist rhetoric after the bill was defeated, your string of NRA-supplied rationalizations for why it deserved to be defeated; your patently false assertions that the bipartisan bill was an overreach by the Dems and gun-grabbing pinko socialists; and so forth.

Yes, correct, you were in favor of the bill until the moment it was filibustered. Ever since you'v been quoting the NRA chapter and verse. Hence my reaction.
