The Lehigh Valley senator told her and others gathered at the Grand Hyatt that he and West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin — his cosponsor on the measure to extend background checks to gun show sales and online purchases — still support the bill and finding a path through Congress.

Toomey is the worst.
get out..
Manchin, the so called the right leaning dem is no better.
No path. Trump will veto anything even close to that.
I knew re-electing this guy would be a mistake.
BTW, if this is really about background checks, why do they always need the serial number of the gun?
FU Pat Toomey.
FU Joe Manchin.
I knew re-electing this guy would be a mistake.>>>> don’t blame me. i did not vote for him.
Hey hey ho ho this giant RINO needs to go.
So, do tombstone and mansion both have big ole checks from nannie bloomers stickin’ out of their back pockets? Or a promise for a position on one of his groups?
“Off” this turd PA! Unfortunately, you folks just re-elected him last year. Shame on you!
Instead of a “background check” on the buyer that includes:
- manufacturer
- model
- serial number
- type
- caliber/gauge
How about we do a background check on the buyer alone, with no information about the firearm. No? That is all that is really needed for a background check, but the anti-freedom left demands more. Is that because their checks are intended to produce a de facto firearms registry? I thought so.
My preference? No background check at all. If you want to buy a gun, you go to the local gun dealer, hardware store, Sears, or just about any other store that wants to sell guns, and you buy the gun you want. No restrictions on silencers. No restrictions on “short barreled rifles”, not when I can buy a pistol in rifle caliber. No restrictions on “sawed-off shotguns”, not when I can buy a pistol in .410 or even 12 gauge. Gun restrictions haven’t made us safer, so let’s repeal those useless infringements on the rights of law-abiding citizens.
And if someone prohibited from owning firearms buys a gun, then that person is breaking the law and should be sent to prison. That is, of course, in the unlikely event that liberals will permit the laws they push for to be enforced against criminals and not just against productive Americans.
Held my nose & voted for this turd... Has not disappointed.. He’s a turd .. Could not stand Uncle Joe and his all hands Klintoon team all ovah McGuinty ...
Vote him out!Primary his azz.
Rush Limbaugh has often said "words mean things." The left understands this concept very well. They've figured out that the term "Gun Control" is not something that is embraced by the majority of people in this country, so more and more, they are using the term "Gun Safety" instead. Same agenda, new name. (After all, who could be opposed to "safety?")
They always try to hide their true intent.
Where can you buy a gun online or at a gun show without a background check?
Online - in-state sale between individuals as long as state law does not say otherwise.
Gun show - sale between individuals, neither one holding an FFL where there would be a background check requirement. Also, again as long as state law does not say otherwise.
In the parking lot if a long gun.(legally in PA)
