The Toomey-Manchin Kill The Bill of Rights Bill.

TITLE ONE: GETTING ALL THE NAMES OF PROHIBITED PURCHASERS INTO THE BACKGROUND CHECK SYSTEM

Summary of Title I: This section improves background checks for firearms by strengthening the instant check system.

- Encourage states to provide all their available records to NICS by restricting federal funds to states who do not comply.

By "all their available records" just what records are they blackmailing states for with that statist bilge water? "All" is a pretty big word when only a very few records are applicable to denying someone their right to keep and bear arms.

- Allow dealers to voluntarily use the NICS database to run background checks on their prospective employees.

Does that means dealers can run NICS checks on prospective employees without their knowledge or consent? I have no idea what the word 'voluntarily' means there. Does it mean dealers will be allowed to not run NICS checks if they prefer not to?

- Clarifies that submissions of mental health records into the NICS system are not prohibited by federal privacy laws (HIPAA).

Submissions of mental health records? Since when has it been legal to deny any American their rights without due process? Isn't it required that a person be adjudicated mentally deficient by a court of law to do that? Mental health records are entirely irrelevant except to those court proceedings. This bill sounds like Stalinist purge material.

- Provides a legal process for a veteran to contest his/her placement in NICS when there is no basis for barring the right to own a firearm.

Is that an admission that the Bill of Rights doesn't cover veterans or an admission that it doesn't cover anyone anymore?

This bill is worse than any ban on some specific models or types of guns. It's a huge foot in the door to trash the 4th Amend., the 5th Amend. and the 10th Amend. as well as the 2nd Amend. Was all of this gun control demagoguery really just a Trojan Horse to sneak this Bill of Rights killer into law?

Notice the HIPPA part. They said we have to have this to digitize our medical records and no one could ever get them. Now, here we go, over 30 million people are now on SSRI drugs like Paxil and millions more take Vallium and Xanax.

IMO, it's over people. If this passes, they will require people to register all their weapons with ATF so they can track them. Any reason they want will trigger a visit from jack booted thugs. Your wife leaves you and you get a script for Vallium and you lose your right to have guns.

If they don't require you to register your guns, what good is it? If I have 30 guns, I could buy and sell a hundred guns and they know NOTHING unless they require me to register them. If background check was just to check my name in a database, then I'm sure no one would care. They will never settle for that though. ATF has been copying FFL forms for years since Waco. They even raised the FFL licence cost to get casual gun enthusiasts out of the gun business. My brother in law had his licence to buy and sell for himself and family and friends. He charged nothing or very little because he didn't use it as a business. When the price went up, he gave it up. The BATF came to his home and took his books. Even Dan Rather on CBS News admitted that they were entering the data in a huge database even though it was illegal. To think you have a gun no one knows about is a pipe dream. If they come looking for it, you better produce it or the waterboarding will begin. Thus has it always been in every fascist country since the beginning of time.
