Just what a slimeball is Dem. Senator Tim Kaine?

Instead, Kaine’s proposal criminalizes a private individual’s failure to conduct a federal background check while refusing to give that individual the right to conduct the federal background check in the first place. Kaine’s office confirmed that his bill does not give private individuals the authority or ability to conduct federal background checks in order to avoid the federal criminal liability imposed by his proposal.
"You have to check the background of a buyer, or go to jail!"
"How am I supposed to do that?"
"That's not my problem."

Remember, they don't actually want to ban guns, they just want to make it impossible for you to buy/sell/own/use one.
