Send that in to them- They NEED to hear from real peopel and NEED to understand that we hired them to protect our constitutional rights and innalienable rights- NOT to bargain them away bit by bit

That response is as canned as pork and beans. What a bunch of sh!t. Toomey should be ashamed, but I’m sure he’s not.

Is he your Senator?

FWIW, if you want to see the uber canned response, send an email to Linda Graham (RINO/D-SC). Sometimes her canned response has nothing to do with your original email.

I view Sen. Toomey as an honorable, honest man. We’ll just have to agree to disagree on this one, Senator.

Anytime you give government more access to these types of records no good will come of it. In Maryland every regulated firearm purchased since 1998 is now recorded in a state database. Result: Gun registration.

Even the Congress knows gun registration is against the Constitution but Maryland goverment doesn’t care. We get registration. Again, when government has access to the data, government will misuse that data.

And, if we on the Right were to support this kind of law, what are we getting for it? We could trade for open carry in all states, deregulating firearms suppressors, nationwide “stand-your-ground” laws, tougher sanctions on those who committ crimes with guns, etc.?

They play hardball on guns, so should we. We need to move the needle on gun control back to the center.

The thing I’m disappointed in Sen Toomey about is that you cannot trust DemoCRAPs. They have no problem lying or being deceitful to get what they want. Dare I say “Nancy Pelosi”? We have to pass a 2,800 page ObamaCare law to even “see what’s in it?”

Sen Manchin may appear to be an honorable man but at the end of the day he will vote to reafirm Harry Reid and the Nancy Pelosi’s of the world. He associates with those who would allow the media to mischaracterize the Right and for that he can go to h*ll. They (the libs) can all go to h*ll.

An honorable politician is defined as one who when bought stays bought.

A couple questions for you and any other Freeper that may know the answer. This database you speak of - is it public record material? Can it be accessed via FOIA? Also, are the addresses of police public record material?

Contrary to some reports, the amendment would not have created or enabled a national gun registry. I have always strongly opposed a gun registry, so our amendment prohibited the creation of a registry and would have established a new felony offense, punishable by a 15-year prison sentence, for any official who attempted to create a federal registry.

Toomey, if you are right... it should be ok...but the Marxists in the Senate might do it someday.

Do you really expect Toomey to personally respond to the thousands of emails, letters, faxes, and telephone calls that he received on this issue or just your email? We should be attacking Toomey for his position, not for his failure to personally type an individuial response to every single person who has written him.

This is where trust comes in. When you do a background check on me (and everyone else) at the POS, I'm to trust that no one is keeping records of that background check request?

Tell you what, Mr. politician. Here's your registry......the IRS. Just assume every Social Security number has a gun. That's all you need to know.

Toomey is a worthless POS as far as I am concerned.

Five Zettabytes of storage in the new Colorado data center.

Cisco: to show us just how much data can be fit into one Zettabyte: you can alternatively think of it as the equivalent of 250 billion DVDs, 36 million years of HD video, or the volume of the Great Wall of China if you allow an 11oz cup of coffee to represent a gigabyte of data

We are talking 5 of these people in just one data center, and you can bet they will build more.

If it is in a database, it can certainly be accessed by Big Brother.

His assertion is just plain silly. Almost certainly the nut at Virginia Tech would have avoid scrutiny if only because of his race. IAC, enforcement is everything. Look at Boston. There were plenty of reasons why this guy should have been flagged but wasn’t.

actually the boston bomber was flagged, Saudi Arabia gave the US written warning about him, but our genius officials didn’t want to upset the moslems.

And university officials are just as unreliable. I mean, does he not know that they are all unreliable on such matters?

Toomey doubled down on his treason in an article reported today on CNN. He’s blaming the good guys for not supporting the bill just because they Obama was supporting it. Way to throw your supporters under the bus Arlen Toomey.

So many pols are too clever by half because they come to think of it all as a game and they start flirting with other boys rather than staying with the one they came with. Hard for someone elected to Congress not to forget where they came from. Air conditioning was the worse thing that ever happened to Congress. They should do what they used to do, which is to meet from December to May and then go home.

This is some dangerous bullsheet, the next step is to declare your political enemies mentally ill and take away all their rights.

This "mental health" thing is the slippery slope that will lead to any kid in school who gets diagnosed with "ADD", ADHD", anxiety, depression, autism, etc. Nowadays it almost seems like 90% of kids get diagosed with some "condition" or "disability" and end up on Ritalin or any number of other anti-anxiety pills and so forth. Whatever it takes to assuage lazy parents who can't be inconvenienced with stuff like discipline, and make life easier for lazy teachers while making big pharma happy as a clam. Someday all these kids are going to be grownups who can't buy guns because their names come up on some "mental health" registry. Who needs a "gun registry" when you got a handy workaround like a "mental health registry"?

If we had session limits, we wouldn't need term limits.

180 calendar days -- every two years.

They prefer to shuttle between their districts and DC. In this electronic age, they could stay in their offices at home and just teleconference.

For most of them, "home" is now Washington, D.C.
