U.S. Sen. Doug Jones said he is a hunter and wants to protect Second Amendment rights, but noted he would like background checks with exceptions and funding for federal studies for a broad range of gun violence, including suicides.
Jones, who is in the state during the Congress' two-week congressional break, came to the Daily Mountain Eagle Monday for multi-media interviews over its print, YouTube and podcast formats. The YouTube interview will also be linked to its Facebook and Twitter accounts. |

There is no delegated authority in the U.S. Constitution for the central government to regulate infrequent private transfers of legal property. Private transfers are not commerce. If a person engages in an enterprise that is indistinguishable by volume from a full-blown business, that person is required to have an FFL, or may be prosecuted for dealing without one.
If the state wishes to impose a universal background check system, it is free to do so within the constraints of its own constitution.
But a U.S. Senator should know better than to advocate for a national law that is unsupported by delegated constitutional authority. |

As an Alabamian, I apologize to everyone for Doug Jones. This is what happens when stoopid repukes gain party members choose a really crappy candidate in a special election; republicans stay home and this Jones dipstick is elected.
In for one and done.
Most Alabamian do NOT endorse Jones' gun control ideas.
He said he was moderate.
LIAR!
He's a libtard!! !!!! !!! |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
