Toomey: Background Checks Are Not Gun Control
RCP Video ^ | 4-10-2013

Posted on 04/10/2013 4:54:19 PM PDT by Sir Napsalot

SEN. PAT TOOMEY: I’m a gun owner, and the rights that are enshrined in the Second Amendment are very, very important to me personally, ..... I don’t consider criminal background checks to be gun control. I think it’s just common sense. If you pass a criminal background check, you get to buy a gun, no problem. It’s the people who fail a criminal or mental health background check that we don’t want having guns.

That won’t happen again.”

I did too, won’t do it again.

Did anyone ask Toomey how this law would have prevented Newtown?

Or ask Obama? Or Biden?

Does anyone in the “journalism” business do their jobs anymore?

Toomey’s argument is the same one pushed for police DUI roadblocks. Take a look at the police reports. You’ll find a ratio of 20/1 non-DUI but, high fine citations to DUIs.

We’re just searching for the criminal element.

The truth is criminals will commit crimes, including illegal gun transfers/ownership.

The solution is end the background checks completely. Criminals will get guns. If the honest also are armed, then the criminals will suffer.

Toomey got into self-destruct mode and forgot to abort it.

When I was a kid, we used to call this behavior by “Elected Officials” TREASON.

It is surely a most serious violation of their oaths of office!

Not in the ‘press conference’ that I saw. He is going to face his constituents, hope some one bring it up. Multiple times. Until the knucklehead finally ‘GETS IT’

>>> Or ask Obama? Or Biden? <<<

Pfffttttt, you are kidding me, right?
