So it appears a Republican lawmaker has been bought off to put his stamp on the new gun bill headed for the Senate.
New York Mayor Michael Bloombergs Mayors Against Illegal Guns is on the air in Pennsylvania Tuesday with a TV spot targeting Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), who is in talks to sign on to a proposal that would require background checks for all commercial gun purchases.
Bloomberg's Mayors Against Illegal Guns is pulling its ads in Pennsylvania, citing Toomey's work on compromise bill.
Sure appears to me that in exchange for the attack ads to stop he signed on with the Democrats.
What does this new gun ban do?
The proposal will allow a doctor to add a patient to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) without ever telling the patient he or she has been added.There would be no due process requirement. Not all doctors will be able to do it with the same ease, but many will. Knowing a doctor could add him to a federal database as mentally ill without his knowledge could potentially dissuade a patient from going to the doctor in the first place to get help.
Worse, if the doctor does so and makes a mistake, the patient would have to actively work through the system to get himself removed guilty before being proven innocent. In some states, should a doctor flag you as having mental illness without your knowledge, you may very well see the state come collect your previously purchased guns.
It doesn't stop there.

Am I missing something, or are the people who are having doctors add law abiding gun owners to the "National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS)" the same ones telling us there's NO WAY we can possibly e-verify all the illegals working under the table in this country and sneaking across the border in broad daylight?
What aren't we being told here?
This isn’t a surprise.
Next up...the fraud, Marco Rubio, and his “Gang of...” buddies.
Get ready to take it again from the GOP.
Well, what would you call a Conservative Libertarian...I am so disgusted with the Republicans.
I don’t agree with Ron Paul on foreign policy but I sure do like Rand Paul!
You and me both brother, I've never missed an election since I turned 18 in 1980 and voted for Ronaldus Maximus, this year I may just stay home. I've already quit watching Fox and now get most of my news from FR, Mark Levin and The Blaze , with Brietbart thrown in once in awhile. I see my country being systematically dismantled and I can't watch anymore.
Fox is just a mirror of what is happening..we are surrounded by lefties and Rino’s..
I’ve been awake a long time I just finally decided that I couldn’t stand to be in the same elevator with Boehner so why was I in the same party?
The lesser of two evils thing goes for parties too. Libertarians come closer to where I am philosophically and, more importantly, they’re not actively moving farther away all the time.
not all, but the rinos and gop elite leadership, you’re right.
Craven venal whores.
I certainly don't mean to start an argument or hurt your feelings, OKSooner, but I don't see a need to insult ladies of the night by comparing them to the Republican party of Washington, D.C.
Tyrant Kim Un Obama must be very pleased that his efforts have so easily FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGED THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
Well, Secret Agent Man, there does remain a very few number of republicans that I do like, Cruz and Palin certainly, West just to name a few, but they are so few that it does not matter in the end.
I think these good men and women will have to go elsewhere if they are to achieve anything, and the same with conservatives who vote.
The thing that really gets me about the GOP... how many times to we see a democrat break ranks and assist conservatives on anything at all? Never. Conversely, how many times do we see republican break ranks and assist communists and tyrants? Constantly.
I’ve had it with the GOP, agent man. I absolutely hate them.
Once they get to DC, it doesn’t take long for the Kool-Aid to take effect.
We might be better off with just some good ol' common red-blooded American skanks in Washington than with what we have.
Not that I would have empirical reason to think so, mind you...
