All the NRA needs to do is say anyone who votes for this will turn into a F. This will stop these politicians in their tracks. If they don't, no more donations.

What if an illegal owns the weapon?

NBC News? I’ll have to take that with a grain of salt.

Seems that the nuclear question is simply what high profile crime(s) that the media have been bludgeoning us with lately would this proposed legislation have prevented? The answer of course is none of them.

a compromise bill to expand background checks to firearms sales at gun shows and on the Internet. A compromise is a settlement of differences by mutual concessions.
It seems like the only compromises ever made are that we give up a smaller amount of our freedom instead of a much larger amount of our freedom. Inch by inch they tighten the noose.

The only comprehensive common sense change is to allow oldsters to fool around with "silencers" for free.
It'd reduce the costs of Zer0Care.

Criminal and insane asylum check if you wish to buy a gun,, ok, i understand.
If it’s no, then no sale could be completed. If a person is approved, the goverment has NO BUSINESS finding out what gun was purchased, or if the person even completed the sale at all.
This is a registration effort leading to confiscation.
Background checks of individuals have nothing to do with the gun they may or may not wish to buy.

If Republicans are of the belief that there must be an up-or-down vote on bills that violate the most unambiguous part of the Bill of Rights, then what is the purpose of serving in the Senate?

Will NRA change Toomey to F?A good idea would be if they were to start with stripping Dingy Harry of his "B".

Obviously, someone found the bones in toomey’s closet. There might only be four or five politicians in the entire congress who are not compromised in one way or another...and the left will make up a lie out of whole cloth to destroy even them.
We have no government. We have an asylum run by lunatics and the criminally insane.
To: NoLibZone
Haven’t you heard, there are no illegals in the U.S. any more. Did try to call Toomey’s office late today and reached a recording which said it was not possible to leave a message and to try later.

Hey Pat, the across the aisle doesn’t work. Thought you would be smarter now or do you need to steal more taxpayer money?

R’s are being played. They will vote aye to send this milquetoast background check bill to the floor for debate, where Reid will insert Difi’s ban as an amendment that only needs 51 votes. Only the House can stop this now, and the 2014 elections.
