    Of course they can't buy them now because that is the law but what is the problem with an illegal migrant being reported to ICE for trying to break the law?

    I would prefer to see funding such that EVERY person who lies on the form to purchase a gun is prosecuted. In all cases that would be the DOJ which has zero issue sharing info with ICE.

    The amendment to the bill allows the FBI who does the background checks to notify ICE that a bad hombre (illegal alien) tried to purchase a firearm.

    The only illegal aliens who are going to show up during the background check are those who have a criminal record or an arrest warrant has been issued by a judge.

    Anyone including illegal aliens who don't have a criminal record are going to pass the background check.

    All you need to purchase a firearm is ID like a drivers license. Some states issue driver's licenses to illegal aliens like California.

    Many if not most illegal aliens are going to pass a background check if they don't have a felony conviction.
    In California under Prop 47 many felonies are no longer felonies because leftist like Jerry Brown believe that most felonies like rape or robbery shouldn't be felonies.

    If should be a crime for someone to try to purchase a firearm when they know they aren't allowed to purchase, possess or touch a firearm. But it isn't.

    Being in the country illegally is a crime.
    Overstays is a civil crime.
    Crossing the border illegally is a criminal crime.

    The city of Santa Anna, Ca a sanctuary city in the hermit kingdom of California takes about 100 guns away from illegal aliens every month.

    It's a felony, a federal crime for an illegal to possess a firearm but Santa Ana PD doesn't contact the FBI or ICE that an illegal alien was in possession of a firearm. Unless the illegal alien killed a cop.

    The law reporting them to ICE does not exist; thus, the amendment.

    If they are undocumented, they don't exist so they don't show up on the bad hombre list.

    Undocumented means that nothing comes back. THAT in itself is a disqualifier. “Undocumented” kinda says it all.....

    Funny, they get rather more excited about felonies they imagine our president to have committed.

    The language of second amendment does not distinguish between a foreign national and an American citizen so you can blame it for the assault rifles getting into those hands. More accurately you can blame those literal- interpretation- of- the- words types conservatives so love. Either you support the bill treating all the people who may be included in a militia like M-13, the same, or you oppose its 'chilling affect' on the people and their right to defend themselves consistent with that 'Congress shall make no law...' phrase. Pick..

    That means bi-partisan opposition. Isn't that what you folks said when those traitor Republicans sided with Democrats on that stimulus failure?

    That is simply untrue, foreign nations are not protected nor ensured the rights of citizens. You folks are attempting to extend the Constitution to illegal aliens, and it simply does not apply to them...

    After they where cornered and made to look like total fools, prior to that they where all in for arming gangbangers.

    A investing magazine actually referred to Obama as firearm salesman of the year.

    Incorrect, the right has been bitching about illegals buying guns and nothing being done about it.

    Actually Barack Obama won the title as the best gun salesman in 2008, 09, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16.

    More guns were sold in America during the Obama administration than any other time in America's history.

    Then there was Obama arming the drug cartels in Mexico (Fast and Furious) arming Al Qaeda in Libya and arming Al Qaeda and the JV Team (ISIS) in Syria.

    100% true!

    Holder and Obama should be in prison as accomplices to the murder of Agent Brian Terry.
