Senate Democrats are setting the stage for a vote on new gun laws later this week as two key senators on Tuesday said they were close to announcing a compromise bill to expand background checks to firearms sales at gun shows and on the Internet.
Sen. Pat Toomey, a conservative Pennsylvania Republican, announced he plans to appear Wednesday with West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, who holds an A rating from the National Rifle Association.
The two have been working on a compromise proposal that could draw Republican support for expanding background checks, and an aide to Toomey said Tuesday night that all but the final details were left to negotiate.

There, fixed it!
time to introduce a bill calling for background checks on the media\journalists and clergy....
“... working on a compromise proposal that could draw Republican support “
The weak, timid Republican bastards have COMPROMISED our country and freedoms down the poop-hole of history.
It’s time to lead, not follow or be politically correct so that both parties in the discussion can feel that they walk away winning at least 50% of whatever was discussed. However, they never think of the other 50% they lost.
True leaders NEVER COMPROMISE!
