Flake should agree to support Coburn's background check bill. He should not support Manchin/Toomey because it has inadequate protections for gun owner's privacy.

Under Coburn's plan, the gun buyer would go onto the NICS website and run a background check on himself. If he passed, he would be given a unique code number that would allow him to purchase guns for the next 30 days. He would then go to the seller, who would enter the code number with NICS and verify that the buyer was authorized, and the sale would proceed. The beauty of the system is that the seller never has to provide the information on the gun or guns being purchased, or even if any guns are purchased at all. That way the data is never gathered and the buyer's privacy is protected.

As far as I am concerned, background checks are acceptable as long as they do not create the databank that can be used to create a national registry. Registry leads to confiscation, time after time. But if you talk about confiscation, people say you are paranoid. So we should talk about protecting our privacy, which would make registration and eventual confiscation impossible.

Say "Confiscation",
And they call you paranoid.
So say "Privacy".

Not an inch... this is communist incrementalism and it can no longer be tolerated. You want to know why fags can marry? Because we put up with their little nibbles at our Constitution and by allowing them to steal the language and pass legislation making them a superior class of citizen. This has gone on for many years and now the queers own the entire show. Big Government was not born overnight... we allowed little nibbles to devour our economy and Liberty. Once their foot is in the door it is just a matter of time... so I repeat... NOT AN INCH!
