The Senate has scheduled a vote for Thursday and, according to the Washington Post, it looks like Democrats have the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster.

conducted by federally licensed gun firearm dealers, who would need to verify the validity of a purchasers gun license Some states don't require "gun licenses." Is this a subtle hint that states are going to be required to issue them?

Here’s the kicker...
“...verify the validity of a purchasers gun license...”
Debate the Second Amendment? Just say NO!

This bill is NOT posted on thhomas.loc.gov
I bet we don’t get to read it before the senate vote.
One concern is just how doctors can enter you in the “no guns” database and whether such a listing can be appealed.

From Toomey’s website:
“The bill will not, in any way at all, infringe upon the Constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens.
Latest News”
Oh, except for the Due Process Clauses in the 5th and 14th Amendments

The same unstoppable momentum as 0bamacare, and the same feeling of helplessness in trying to influence any of the politicians involved. When men repeal rights given by God, man plays God. Government is God. America no more.

time to melt the phone lines.
Tommey especially, what an idiot.

I emailed Toomey. Explained to him that he just lost a vote. He is NOT a Conservative and I refuse to vote for anyone that whittles away at the Constitution..

...Manchin and Toomey explicitly states that the bill will not create a national registry ...
I have read that the atf gets around "national registry" now by keeping several regional registries. I do not know if that is true or not, but if they were keeping it concealed from JQ Public, we wouldn't know, now would we?

If transfers are done through a federally licensed firearms dealer there WILL be a form 4473 for every single transaction"... This is already the case. Has been the case for a very long time.
To: EXCH54FE
Last I checked, aren’t you already required to send a firearm to an FFL if it’s purchased over the internet and you’re mailing it to someone?
Of course, this is hardly the first time big brother had its head up its @$$ when it comes to knowing a law is already on the bloody books.

That's what I have been wondering....how the heck are they going to vote on something that hasn't even been written yet and if it has been written then why has nothing been released for public scrutiny? This is actually WORSE than the way the PPACA was handled.
I'm really getting sick and tired of these snakes producing highly controversial legislation that is likely to be unconstitutional without allowing the public to know what is being voted on.

Secret up or down votes on the Constitution might be a sign of a problem.
