The government can track guns sales already. The don’t need the stinking credit care companies. What the government CAN’T do is track illegal guns, unless during criminal activities. Pffft.

Private companies. They can track whatever they want. How about you work on seeing that no government agency is able to obtain it, k?

No!

REMEMBER. It was Republicans who US out! Why did they do that?

Good. It’s about time GOPSenate does something about vicious Dems.

History has taught us that the demands of Republican Senators and a dime will get us a dime. The same goes for “hearings”. We need new blood and new leadership in the upcoming Republican Senate majority. Vote
