The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms had opposed previous iterations of a Democratic proposal for univesal background checks. "It's huge," Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., told Fox News on Sunday afternoon as he announced the CCRKBA endorsement.

No.
These guys “were” rock solid Constitutional Conservatives.
Check out their website:
www.ccrkba.org
Offers books, discusses legal issues, current and proposed legislation on the right to keep and bear arms.
Not looking good, IMHO. "Common sense" is Libspeak for Camel's Nose.
Hmmmm - wonder what happened???
CCRKBA has been a good organization in the past. I’m not certain what’s going on, but it doesn’t bode well for liberty.
Honestly is everyone around here so stinkin lazy they don’t use search anymore?
Gotleib is a good guy. Tom Gresham has him on all the time -even today.
I am not saying this is a good bill but if what Alan said is true it is better than the alternatives.

I saw a a gun grabbing group on the local news today. The Moms for “common sense” gun legislation.
The Toomey-Manchin Kill The Bill of Rights Bill.TITLE ONE: GETTING ALL THE NAMES OF PROHIBITED PURCHASERS INTO THE BACKGROUND CHECK SYSTEM
Summary of Title I: This section improves background checks for firearms by strengthening the instant check system.
- Encourage states to provide all their available records to NICS by restricting federal funds to states who do not comply.
By "all their available records" just what records are they blackmailing states for with that statist bilge water? "All" is a pretty big word when only a very few records are applicable to denying someone their right to keep and bear arms.
- Allow dealers to voluntarily use the NICS database to run background checks on their prospective employees.
Does that means dealers can run NICS checks on prospective employees without their knowledge or consent? I have no idea what the word 'voluntarily' means there. Does it mean dealers will be allowed to not run NICS checks if they prefer not to?
- Clarifies that submissions of mental health records into the NICS system are not prohibited by federal privacy laws (HIPAA).
Submissions of mental health records? Since when has it been legal to deny any American their rights without due process? Isn't it required that a person be adjudicated mentally deficient by a court of law to do that? Mental health records are entirely irrelevant except to those court proceedings. This bill sounds like Stalinist purge material.
- Provides a legal process for a veteran to contest his/her placement in NICS when there is no basis for barring the right to own a firearm.
Is that an admission that the Bill of Rights doesn't cover veterans or an admission that it doesn't cover anyone anymore?
Was all of this gun control demagoguery really just a Trojan Horse to sneak this Bill of Rights killer into law?
Look at the precedents Toomey-Manchin sets regarding the freedom to travel.

"Common sense" is code for "our way or the highway."
Oh.
Well that makes unconstitutional power grabs okay then. :)
His past record is outstanding.
What happened?
Common sense is something that is severely lacking among the commie ‘RAT community. They’re not called low information voters for nothing.
Never heard of the, “Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms”. Even if I had heard of them, their stance on this issue automatically destroys any credibility they may have enjoyed
They are an elaborate false-flag operation.
Handgun Control, Inc. in drag.
Yep. The PO(tu)S uses the phrase all the time.
Anyone to the left of complete elimination of background checks is not on the side of the second amendment.
It provides that you can transfer to family members (including inlaws) without background checks. It allows for temporary transfers for hunting, target shooting, or inspection.
It finally allows for the interstate purchase of handguns from FFLs, and it closes the FOPA loophole by specifically allowing for overnight stays, stops for fuel or food, and emergency medical attention as part of interstate travel. It also changes the FOPA from being an affirmative defense to prohibiting arrest or detention by state authorities. (This is what New York and New Jersey were doing; arresting people who transported firearms, then forced them to appear in court to assert the FOPA as an affirmative defense.)
