Mulvaney is not connected to reality. He is angry, but, at the wrong people.

Yes, people are blaming the president. Absolutely. He is a racist.

That would be a good thing, Trump never brings the nation together. Suggestions? Like, ending the lying. He could start with that.

This would not be happening if Hillary Clinton was president.

Since Trump took office, there is a record number of hate groups. Is he proud of that? Is that a goal?

Bill Barr is not the answer. Bill Barr is in contempt of Congress. Bill Barr is not trustworthy. Does Bill Barr know the Grand Dragon? Do you know the Grand Dragon stated he was glad Heather was dead? He did.

Mulvaney is as confused as the Trump constituency that doesn't listen to any mainstream media. Seriously. Did he drink the Kool-Aid?

H.R.8 - Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019 (click here)
Reported to House (02/22/2019)

Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019

This bill establishes new background check requirements for firearm transfers between private parties (i.e., unlicensed individuals).

Specifically, it prohibits a firearm transfer between private parties unless a licensed gun dealer, manufacturer, or importer first takes possession of the firearm to conduct a background check.

The prohibition does not apply to certain firearm transfers, such as a gift between spouses in good faith.

Sorry, I am not finding any passed legislation in 2018 or 2017. I'll keep looking.

This article from The Guardian clearly states the USA Congress has done basically nothing, except, to pass legislation that is the same as the one before it. Since, the expiration of the "Assault Weapon Ban," Congress has failed to protect Americans. Their measures have failed and continue to fail.

Let me make myself clear.

EVERYTHING THE USA CONGRESS HAS DONE TO END THE GUN VIOLENCE HAS FAILED.

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT BILL WAS PASSED OR WHAT EXCUSES THEY ARE USING.

IT HAS ALL FAILED!

Ten years ago, (click here) after a mass shooting that could have been prevented, Congress passed a bipartisan law to fix America’s gun background check system. A decade later, a bipartisan group of senators is introducing new legislation to try to fix it again.

The gun legislation the senators announced on Thursday morning would not require a background check on every single gun sale, despite new polling data showing that 95% of Americans – a record high – support these universal background checks....

...For years, the federal database that is supposed to stop dangerous people from buying guns has been undermined by missing records. At least three of America’s most high-profile mass shooters were legally barred from buying guns, but were able to purchase them anyway because of the federal system’s failures. Among them was the gunman who murdered 26 people in a Texas church this month....

...But even as a series of deadly shootings have come to pass, gun-related legislation has been stymied on Capitol Hill amid steep opposition from Republicans and the NRA.

In addition to the failed vote on background checks in 2013, the Senate twice rejected proposals to prevent suspected terrorists from purchasing firearms.

The latter votes followed both the Orlando massacre in June 2016, which left 49 dead and 58 others wounded, and the December 2015 mass shooting in San Bernardino, California, in which 14 people were killed and 22 more were injured at an office holiday party. In both incidents, the perpetrators claimed to be inspired by Islamic State.
