Dems Have A Fit Over Gun Control & Illegals

RUSH: … here’s the thing that has Pelosi and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez all in a tizzy. For the past week or so, there has been a huge fight going on in the House over a new Democrat gun bill that would require mandatory background checks on everybody buying a gun. This is something the Democrats do when they find themselves back in power, they start trying to encroach on any aspect of guns and the Second Amendment they can.

Even if people buy, according to this new Democrat gun bill, even if you buy a gun from a family member, you will be required to undergo a mandatory background check. The hitch has been the Republicans wanted to add a provision requiring that ICE be notified if an illegal alien tries to buy a gun. And, by the way, for the record, it is illegal for an illegal alien to buy a gun! Because they’re illegal!

So the Republicans have got a Democrat gun bill — and you can imagine how attempted punitive it is — so the Republicans wanted to add a provision that would require that if an illegal alien is discovered during a background check, that that attempted purchase be reported to ICE. The Republicans pointed out the Democrats are giving special privilege to illegal aliens because the Democrats want to exempt them.

The Democrats seem to care more about protecting illegal aliens than they care about gun control. Which of course is true. The Democrats care more about illegal aliens than even climate change. The Democrats care more about promoting amnesty and the continued flow of illegal aliens across the border because that’s their future. That’s their permanent underclass. They need that.

So in any case, here’s the upshot. Twenty-six Democrats in swing districts were shamed into voting for the Republican amendment. Oh, can you imagine the excrement storm that erupted from this? Twenty-six Democrats in swing districts voted for the Republican amendment which simply said if illegal alien is identified as illegal in a background check buying a gun, that ICE must be informed. This infuriated Pelosi. This infuriated Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
