Someone from Pipestone, Minnesota, asked “why did the toomey amendment have all the democrats bills.”
Essentially, because the Democrats could. A persistent pattern of misspellings seen in bills introduced by long time anti-gun activist Chucky Schumer is also present in the “background check” part of S.AMDT.715. So the amendment was written by Schumer or his staff, and handed to Manchin to be filed. A hard line “false flag” Democrat, Manchin probably never looked at the Amendment – and would have approved it if he had. And of course Toomey had already been suckered signed on so he had no reason to actually look at what his name is on.
If the Amendment were voted up, it would be hailed as a great victory over the NRA and the forces of good. When it was voted down it was a huge loss for the forces of evil – but those forces have presented the loss as a loss for law and order.
And all this goes back to Saul Alinsky’s teaching Obama and the rest of the Partei to always demand more than you expect to get. The Democrats are desperate to get Obama a “legacy of gun control,” and are equally desperate to get that universal precursor to gun confiscation; the retention of sales records. They chose universal background checks, which would have to be done at a dealers, as the method.
Since gun dealers must keep sales records for life, that would soon provide the database for a universal gun owners registry. And in a year or so the penalty for creating a gun owners registry would be repealed, and the way would be clear for the United States to follow Russia, Austria, Cambodia, Venezuela and other places with a registry. Into totalitarianism.
So far, the Democratic Partei has not gotten its universal background checks. But they will continue to demand them, along with demands for anything else they think we would trade for those checks. Like background checks on gunpowder purchases.
When they and their captive media lie “high, wide, and handsome enough” they may find an issue that would hit us so hard we would trade universal background checks and perpetual record keeping to avoid something worse. So they will be back, time after time.
Unless of course we make it 1994 all over again. Going into ’94, with their “Assault Weapon Ban” fresh in memory and Hilary Clinton’s “bankrupt everyone” universal health care proposal in mind, the media was absolutely sure the Clintonistas were going to wipe the floor with Republicans. It did not happen that way.
It is time to make 2014 “1994 all over again.” Only better, with even greater losses for the Democrats. Who are, as a Partei, firmly committed to the end of private gun ownership in the former United States.

The problem is, we have no Gingrich like leadership with a "Contract for America". The Tea Party may have to do the heavy lifting.
But, if the GOP scorns Conservatives, they may face unprecedented defeat.
We should be laying this albatross around every RINO and democrat's neck.
Not to mention Obamacare. It will be just warming up in 2014.
They did that with their pushing of McCain and reinforced it with Romney -- as far as I'm concerned they've made their choice and, if they want to be called 'conservative' then they'd best actually push for their party-planks... but this id the GOP we're talking about, they're not going to do that.
Better keep an eye on S. 792 (”A bill to strengthen the enforcement of background checks with respect to the us of explosive materials”). It would require background checks on purchases of gunpowder (would make reloading much more expensive and would be a big step against ammunition soon thereafter). It’s already making powders virtually unobtainable by way of hysteria and panic and could greatly extend the period of unavailability.
It’s in the Senate Judiciary Committee for now. Leahy has a mixed voting record on the Second Amendment, so try to convince him that it should stop in his committee. Don’t listen to concern troll nay-sayers. Just do it. If the bill gets out of committee (which it shouldn’t), you should know who to contact in the Senate for your states.
The bill needs to be stopped, before powder becomes unavailable for even longer than the end of the year, and prices get even more outrageous. Voter enthusiasm, tolerance and time for firearms, market schemes and hysterical politics are not infinite.
You would have to ask Rubio.
Gangs have their own way of doing things.
Two problems with retaking the Senate: a) Whigs can’t find candidates (more RINOs) and b) if they get control, so what. Nothing changes, except the faces.
The government - all three branches - is a criminal enterprise that should be tried under RICO.
Better question. Why did Toomey commit political suicide by getting in bed with the democrats over gun control?
Because guns owners in PA (there are a bunch) will never support him again.
