Romney signals he's open to bipartisan background check bill
The Hill ^ | 09/09/19 | Jordain Carney

Posted on 09/09/2019 6:21:03 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) said Monday that he believes all commercial gun sales should be subject to a background check and signaled he's open to supporting bipartisan legislation from Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.).

"It certainly should be applied to commercial sales and finding a more comprehensive way to make sure that people are in the system that ought to be in the system," Romney told reporters when asked about expanding background checks.

Asked if he would support legislation from Manchin and Toomey, which would expand gun background checks to all commercial sales, Romney said he had spoken with Toomey and was reviewing the bill.

"I'm looking at that. ... Directionally, that is something I would support, but I have not read the legislation. That is something I would have to look at before I signed on," Romney added.

Romney should just stop pretending that he is a R, and reregister as a Democrat.

Romney campaigning for Democrats again? No surprise he is trying to depress turnout in 2020 after defacto campaigning for Hillary Criminal and her SCOTUS in 2016.

Romney: “Does it hurt Trump? I’m for it, then.”

Pat Toomey is a total embarrassment. What the Hell has happened to him? Just like what happened to Norm Coleman. Was a solid conservative Republican, then all of a sudden become this pansy-ass tool of the Left.

I’m looking forward to not voting for “Republicans” endorsed by Romney (D-Kolob) in the future.

bipartisan is code for Republicans jumping into the cesspool of Democrat ideas.

What’s a “ commercial sale?” Is that distinct from a private sale? ‘Cause that’s pretty much what we have in place, now, isn’t it, Mitt?

You have to really lean back in your chair and grin when you realize the Governor of Massachusettes is pretending to be a mountain state republican. And some people are buying it.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within.

An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly.

But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”

― Taylor Caldwell, A Pillar of Iron
