Less than two weeks after a heinous attack in which a Virginia
TV reporter and and her cameraman were killed by a gunman who
passed a a background check for his firearm, Senator Sen. Tim
Kaine (D-VA)0% is pushing legislation to make “gun sellers”
criminally liable for the misuse of guns they sell.
The bill is designed to “raise the bar” and require more
“accountability” on the part of gun sellers. It also expands the
federal net to open the door to criminal liability charges
against private sellers too.
According to The Roanoke Times, Kaine’s bill is titled the
Responsible Transfer of Firearms Act. It “would make gun sellers
criminally liable for a bad sale if they didn’t take reasonable,
affirmative steps to determine the customer met federal
criteria.”
In statement accompanying the legislation’s introduction Kaine
said:
As recent tragedies in Virginia and across the country have
shown, the gun laws in our country have done little to stem
senseless gun violence. These numbing incidents in urban, rural
and suburban communities are made worse by the lack of
accountability in those instances where the tragedy might have
been prevented.
Breitbart News has previously reported that vast majority of
public attackers and alleged attackers pass background checks
for their guns. These include Vester Lee Flanagan (Virginia),
John Russell Houser (Lafayette), Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez
(Chattanooga), Dylann Roof (Charleston), Elton Simpson and Nadir
Soofi (Garland), Jared and Amanda Miller (Las Vegas), Elliot
Rodger (Santa Barabara), Ivan Lopez (Fort Hood 2014), Darion
Marcus Aguilar (Maryland mall), Karl Halverson Pierson (Arapahoe
High School), Paul Ciancia (LAX), Andrew John Engeldinger
(Minneapolis), Aaron Alexis (DC Navy Yard), Tennis Melvin
Maynard (West Virginia), Wade Michael Page (Sikh Temple), James
Holmes (Aurora theater), Jared Loughner (Tucson), Nidal Hasan
(Fort Hood 2009), Jiverly Wong (Binghamton), Seung-Hui Cho
(Virginia Tech), Naveed Haq (Seattle), and Mark Barton (Atlanta).
Yet although background checks are federally mandated and
federally conducted at all retail gun outlets in the U.S., Kaine
wants to hold the gun seller responsible for what a buyer does
when he or she exits the store with a gun the FBI cleared them
to purchase.

Illegal alien muslim Barack Hussein Obama seizes on this tragedy
caused by one of his mentally ill homosexual, black ardent
