Sen. Pat Toomey: Odds of Passing Gun Control Better Than Ever
Breitbart ^ | 08/30/2019 | Awr Hawkins

Posted on 08/30/2019 9:31:34 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA) suggests the odds of passing gun control when the Senate reconvenes in September are better than ever. Toomey is specifically referencing the gun control bill he and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) first pushed after the December 14, 2012, Sandy Hook Elementary School attack; a bill which they have now revived as part of their push for universal background checks.

CBS News reports that Toomey has been talking with White House about he and Manchin’s bill, and Politico quotes Toomey saying the chances of passage now are “better than they have ever looked at any time.”

There is passing and then there is.. compliance.

Ask Andrew Cuomo how well the safe act worked out for NYS. Compliance was near zero.

Toomey is a huge disappointment.
He always seems to play to the Philadelphia crowd.
PATHETIC

If Murkowski supports this, she doesn’t know her constituents. There may be Alaskans who don’t have guns (Plural). If so, I have yet to meet one outside of the Pioneer Home. Even then...

Lou Barletta lost to Bobby Casey last time. Casey is the dumbest Senator except maybe for Patty Murry.

Casey is undefeatable in Pa because his father was highly respected here.

But I think Barletta could defeat Toomey in a primary and go on to the Senate from there. Pres Trump would support him.

“We continually get screwed over by the deep state PA Republican hierarchy!”

PA still has state-controlled liquor stores. Think your hooch consumption isn’t monitored by the State Liquor Control Board?

Well, comrade?

Not with my help. I'm voting for Trump then walking out of the booth.

Same in NY...same in NJ...same in WV...Kinda makes one think that it is NOT the "deep state" Republicans, but rather the Republican party itself.
