“Full state participation in NICS would help prevent the kind of tragedy that took place at Virginia Tech in 2007. Prior to that mass shooting, in which 32 people were murdered and 23 were injured, shooter Seung Hui Cho had been found mentally ill by a Virginia judge. However, Virginia did not submit that court record to NICS. The absence of this critical information in NICS enabled Cho to pass a background check and purchase the handguns he used for the shooting. This is one example of how the threat of gun violence can be reduced through improvement of the NICS system, a salient objective of the Manchin-Toomey amendment. “
This is some dangerous bullsheet, the next step is to declare your political enemies mentally ill and take away all their rihgts.

Why do they always say this? It's total BS. Or do they mean that in the past they've supported the 2ndA, but that was then and this is now?
Typical non-response response from our elected officials. They should at least identify the aide or computer that actually composed the BS.
Thank you for posting this.
YES IT IS CANNED! I just received the exact same reply to my email to Senator Toomey explaining that this legislation was not something a Conservative should have have his name on...... I was disappointed in the fact e co-sponsored the law and now disgusted that he would reply to voters with canned response.
I wish some state would collect all federal taxes from that state and then withhold it from the Feds for not complying with the Constitution.
Same disingenuous copy-and-paste drivel I got back from Toomey’s office.
Yeah, same as the one I got.
The second amendment was not based on personal protection or hunting, that is not the issue and this dirt bag is trying to layer his opinion over the fact the amendment was to keep a firm check on the government.
"As you know, I have been working to reduce the number and strength of anti-firearms legislation, aiming toward our ultimate goal of making the Second Amendment the only gun law in the nation. This is a difficult, years-long battle that only began in earnest in 1994 in response to the first 'Assault Weapons Ban' (now some years expired without renewal).
"We managed to defeat this latest effort at increased infringement on your rights. Please accept this as a battle won, rather than evidence of a war lost. We are not finished, either in the sense of having accomplished our goal, nor in the sense of being defeated.
"Please continue to support, financially and with your vote, pro-liberty candidates wherever possible. Please note that often there is no perfectly pro-liberty candidate in the general election; when that happens, please vote against those who either openly or rhetorically threaten your Constitutional Rights. We can deal with the other kind when they get here, just as we did last week.
"Sincerely, etc." Travis-- off to the fun store for real this time :)
Get rid of toomey asap... he is just another snarlin’ arlen.
The longer he serves... the mnore he will list to port.
LLS
Toomey probably moves left because PA is so leftist; he thinks that will allow him to survive. It may not though.
[[This is some dangerous bullsheet, the next step is to declare your political enemies mentally ill and take away all their rihgts.]]
they are ALREADY doign htat in NY folks- It’s just a matter of tiem before it sweeps across thsi nation
ANYONE having EVER taken any kind of anti-depressent, anti-anxiety, andti psychjotic- will have their guns confiscated WITHOUT any actual professional diagnosis of dangerous psychosis- it’;s already happenign in NY- all a doctor or nurse has to do is inform o na patient, and the police show up at door to confiscate guns- AND the states WILL go through medical records looking for any use of htsoe medications and WILL show up at your door to confiscate your guns- it’s alreadfy happenign in NY
Did I mention it’s already happenign in NY?
[[Why do they always say this? It’s total BS]]
The same reason Dear leader always says he’s a Christian RIGHT BEFORE he attacks Christians
[[YES IT IS CANNED! I just received the exact same reply to my email to Senator Toomey explaining that this legislation was not something a Conservative should have have his name on......]]
Write him back and call him on his BS and mention that you don’t really apprerciate the fact that he is issuing canned responses to we the peopel- thsoe hwo HIRED HIM to WORK FOR US!
