Apparently Toomey is feeling the heat on his Facebook page... apparently he’s getting smoked over there. That would explain the frantic explanantion-fest.
Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) told reporters on a conference call moments ago that his compromise bill with Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) on gun background checks “doesn’t change in any way” his “conservative record or views.”................
Actually the people that you represent get to decide if this changes your conservative record. IT DOES!
And by doing so, Senator Dumbass, you've placed yourself in the position of being a tool for Satan's party, while bargaining away the 2nd Amendment rights of those who had such hopes that you'd properly represent them.
““People are going to have a wide range of opinions,” he said. “I don’t think trying to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous criminals is gun control… I don’t expect everyone to agree with me.””
But the democrats are not tring to keep guns out of the hands of “dangerous criminals”.
“Dangerous criminals” Steal their guns or otherwise obtain them illegally to help remove any record.
Democrats are simply trying to criminalized & abridge the right to keep and bare arms.
pat forgot to mention that his little gun control bill allows a shrink to add you to the NICS no gun list at will and no requirement to notify you. That and the fact that private sales at gunshows will now require a background check. Other than those two little jewels nothing will change.
Of course, Toomey’s deal with the devil is that the democrat’s bill gets to the floor—no filibuster. Then the rats just force party discipline and pass a terrible bill. We have a small enough majority in the house that I am very concerned.
Toomey and his collaborators claim, “well, we voted against the democrats bill!” But they made sure it made it to the floor.
Our R’s in Washington are seeming especially spineless on this one.
Don’t bet on it. Come election time, we’ll see what gets changed.
The fundamental question is whether the people are subjects of a government with absolute power or free Americans who may choose whether to give their consent for each government action. If DC does not govern with our consent, then we are stepping into a new phase in America’s history, and it will not be a pretty one.
The GOPe is not long for this world
If you take that vote, Toomey, you have no credibility as an American!
Calling Club for Growth. Are you still claiming him as one of your shining examples of membership?
Shut up Pat, you gun grabbing a-hole.
Well the powers that be want to end the America through a backdoor way. And our side keeps having more and more traitors.
1. Senators Marco Rubio and Rand Paul Support Amnesty
2. Senators Pat Toomey and Johnny Isakson supports gun Control
3. Ohio Governor John Kaisch along with others caved on Obamacare mandates
“If a background check at a gun show does not result in a definitive response from NICS within 48 hours...”
48 hrs? So gun sales at shows are effectively banned.
Here’s the email I just sent:
Senator Toomey, I am extremely disappointed in your amendment to allow expanded background checks. You stated in your conference call that “doesn’t change in any way my conservative record or views.” You are wrong, wrong, wrong about that; it certainly does change your conservative record with the American people. It may make you feel better around Democrats, but we sent you to the Senate to fight for us, not to make friends in Washington, D. C.
“I thought there was an opportunity to try to find some common ground with some of my colleagues,” said Toomey on the conference call. You have seemingly forgotten that there is NO COMPROMISING WITH DEMOCRATS!!!!! You can’t make bad legislation better, you can only defeat it, you can’t make Democrats see reason, you can only defeat them!!! There is no common ground with Democrats, they will stop at nothing until they have completely destroyed America and now you are helping them do it! It is clear to me that you have been in Washington too long!!! I’ll be working against your re-election.
“I took the liberty of . . . bullshitting you.”
-Pat Toomey

You’ll need a “junk” email address for this, but it’s well worth it to open one up.

Thanks!
Just wrong headed thinking. There is not sensible balance or compromise on an absolute God given right to defend oneself.
I do actually like that Boehner is sitting back and letting the Dems in the Senate show their hand, but, we didn't need this nimrod helping.
