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
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.

Years of research indicated the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) was always the epicenter of the DC swamp; where an over-powerful and extra-constitutional group of UniParty senate power brokers gather ‘black files‘ on politicians, lobbyists and government officials for use in leveraging votes, support and changes in behavior for various corporate interests. This intelligence exploitation is worth BILLIONS.
[...]
The Senate uses intelligence ‘black files’ to corrupt new additions to the network; and they carry out independent intelligence operations designed to generate senate power over all other institutions of government. The senate is far more powerful than the DOJ or FBI… this is primarily how the Senate chamber retains power.
This is why anytime you see a Senator encounter a DOJ/FBI issue; there’s rarely any time when the DOJ or FBI can win the legal confrontation. The Senate is just too powerful as an institution…. Yes, even more powerful than the office of the President.

Why change, when it works?
Romney is if anything more conservative today than he was as Governor of Massachusetts. Since it didn’t matter to voters in the 2012 primaries he has reason to hang on to the vote faction he staked out.
I would; but then again, I would piss on him if he wasn’t on fire!
Let us all pray that this tool has a very unfortunate accident.
Of course the slimeball is.
Hes a bought and paid for Democrat plant.
“Bipartisan” generally just means some especially egregious wankery is being perpetrated upon the American people. Alternatively, it means the Democrats act partisan, and the Republicans act Bi.
Romney was never a conservative.
I wish he’d signal that he will be living in a crate for the rest of his life. Detest that weirdo.
Prepare for the sellout.
He’s a snake. I knew that when he was allegedly running for President, and I knew he’d get his ass handed to him. That was his assignment, if I had to guess.
Here is an article about Romney’s ties to McKinsey, the Democrat Deep State Company that is a front for the CIA.
IF Elected Romney Would Hire McKinsey or Bain to Reorganize The Federal Government
https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2012/1/9/1053013/-
Mitt Romney told the Wall Street Journal last week that if he is elected President, he will probably hire McKinsey, the management-consulting firm, to tell him how to reorganize the government.
This is the company that reorganized the CIA management in 2015 under Brennan.
Romney Allen Rippy. “It’s too big-a-eat!”
Romney, Jeff Flake, Mia Love all seem to share the same animus towards Trump. Its almost like it is a part of their religion.
Mormon church is all in for open borders.
Romney is would be open to making all of us victims to the criminals, both private and public.
Word games. "Commercial sales" already use the NICS ("Commercial" being defined as sale for profit as a business, ergo, FFL dealers).
So if I sell a firearm to my buddy they will say I'm engaging in a "commercial sale"?
If there is to be background checks to permit the 2nd amendment this opens the logical progression that there must be background checks to the other 9 in the Bill of Rights.
Well, everyone knows that Romney is an unAmerican lefty.
Agreed its possible,
This is an vile person, I watched him live on TV when he was trying to harm then Candidate Trump in favor of Hilary and timed his look into the camera at the precise moment for maximum dramatic impact and used the word ‘Evil’
Anyone closely watching also knows Ryan threw the house to the Democrats intentionally,
This is not a battle against flesh and blood,
