RINO hack Jeff Flake can’t go away soon enough.
Jeff Flake is calling for a new law which would prevent a person convicted of domestic abuse from purchasing a gun. Maybe someone needs to tell Jeff Flake that we already have that exact law on the books. Brilliant.
In 1996, Congress enacted 18 U.S.C. §922(g)(9), sometimes called the Lautenberg Amendment, which bars any person convicted of a “misdemeanor crime of domestic violence” from possessing a gun.
Jeff Flake took to his Twitter account Tuesday to announce he is writing a bill to prevent anyone convicted of domestic violence from buying a gun.
You mean like the law we already have on the books?
Writing a bill w/ @MartinHeinrich to prevent anyone convicted of domestic violence – be it in criminal or military court – from buying a gun

Jeff Flake then claimed a ‘loophole’ was exploited by the Texas shooter which enabled him to purchase a gun.
In reality, the Air Force failed to enter Kelley’s name into the national criminal database following his dishonorable discharge from the Air Force for assaulting his wife and child.
If being proactive means closing the #DomesticViolenceLoophole exploited by the #SutherlandSprings Texas shooter, you’re right. https://t.co/8S89dgaTuK

Laura Ingraham blasted Jeff Flake for his stupidity, saying, “OMG Jeff Flake needs to retire effective immediately”

Many others in the media pointed out that we have existing laws which of course failed us (AGAIN).
The “Domestic Violence Offender Gun Ban” has been the law in America since 1996, and does ban those people from ever possessing a gun. https://t.co/girfZCSBcg

It exists already. It’s called the Lautenberg amendment. It was Enacted in 1996. https://t.co/D9tYPNqMdl

Criminals and murderers will always find a way to obtain a gun. Stricter gun laws always end up disarming law abiding citizens while keeping the bad guys armed.
When are liberals and RINOs going to realize that?
