Gun Related Amendments To Immigration Bill May Put GOP In A Bind

In a move that is sure to cause controversy and confusion among Republican members of Congress, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) is considering introducing two gun-related amendments to the Senate’s immigration bill.

One of the amendments would bar any immigrant on a visa waiver from purchasing a firearm. The other would “require the US attorney general to alert the Department of Homeland Security when undocumented immigrants attempt to buy guns or when non-citizens attempt mass gun purchases,” according to Mother Jones.

Blumenthal also said, "I'm not going to doom Immigration Reform." Let's keep up our spirits and continue to keep the Newtown victims and their families in our prayers. I am sure regardless whether they adapt these amendments, one day or another, they will get their justice. But hats off to Blumenthal, still fighting for the people of Connecticut and this entire country.

Oh wow, this is a great idea. If adopted, this amendment can curb gun violence south of the border especially the notification for mass gun sales by non-citizens, which is a tip off that it's headed for drug cartels... unless of course, the GOP cares more about the gun rights of drug lords than the safety of the general population.

BLUMENTHAL is one of the best ! He represents CT with class

But I kind of wanted to buy a gun at some point

Finally! An amendment I approve of.

As long as it doesn't cut into regular gun rights once actual citizenship is earned, it is fair.
