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.
SNIP
To be (far too) kind ...
Romney is a POS that’s FOS!!! !
I wont be at all surprised to see this evil man sign up for Vice President to the democrat nominee, likely Elizabeth Warren,
What commercial gun sales are not subject to background checks?
Am I missing something? Where is the place where I can walk-in and buy a firearm without filling out the form and doing the check?
Of course he is.
The more I observe today’s national politicians, the more I am shocked at how pathetic they are compared to our Founders.
gopno1 signals that he’s open to declaring that Romney is a worthless loser...
Sales by gun dealers are already subject to background checks! What the hell is this creep even talking about?
“Am I missing something? Where is the place where I can walk-in and buy a firearm without filling out the form and doing the check?”
You are talking about buying. Maybe these new bills are talking about guns you already own. Huge difference. If so, it’s gun registration.
Strike that last, I misread. All commercial sales is the term used.
“The more I observe today’s national politicians, the more I am shocked at how pathetic they are compared to our Founders.”
Bush, Romney, McCain, Kasich, Ryan, McConnell, Hastert, Frist, most of the GOP members of the Senate and quite a few governors. When the Decline and Fall of the United States is written, the story will be these Republican leaders feathered their nests and massaged their egos while the nation went down.
Wouldn’t p*** on the man if he was on fire....
Like he’s gonna actually read the bill.
Somebody tell Milt they already are.
I am open to putting Mutt in a cage on top of my car and making a cross-country trip.
“Commercial Sale” would be gun runners (see ATF & E).
[[Does Romney have any following at all???]]
Sure, dems love him
LDS
But I bought them. Already did that.
I have some I inherited years ago. In MA every transfer has to be done through an FFL already.
I’d kick in for gas money!
As long as you send video.
Do polls in Utah indicate any regret, or are they loving this ****head?
