Statement from Chris W. Cox Regarding Universal Background Checks
Posted on January 24, 2013
An article appearing on TheHill.com today asserted that Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) is working on a bill with the NRA that would implement universal background checks.
NRA does NOT support universal background checks and is not working with Manchin to implement this type of legislation. NRA opposes, and will continue to oppose, universal background checks and registration schemes.

It’s DOA in the House, DOA. They didn’t even try to bring it back when they had 3/5 of Congress in 2009 because they knew it would fail even then with all of the now mostly defeated blue dogs.
IF she could find a majority in the Senate which I also doubt, it could be fillibustered there.
I hope the Senate passes it though, yes you heard me. It’s political poison. Dumb witch is doing us a favor playing Don Quixote.
Unfortunately those Dem cowards in the Senate are once again putting survival ahead of principle, rats LOL
