Re: Federal background check "compromise"

Looks like Toomey caved in to Bloomberg. That's why he's on board with Schumer, et al.

No more. Ever. :mad5
In a 'compromise', both sides get something, both lose something. I see NOTHING the 2A community gains from this. And nothing that couldn't be taken back in a heartbeat.

Wouldn't hold my breath. But he needs a downgrade. And Manchin as well. How he retains an "A" rating is beyond me.

Succinct and on point...

Should have added:

"Based on their actions, we can no longer give an "A" rating to Senators Manchin or Toomey."

Re: Federal background check "compromise"

Some of this wording is scary:
A bipartisan group of senators has struck a deal to expand gun background checks to all commercial sales — whether at gun shows, via the Internet or in any circumstance involving paid advertising, according to Senate aides familiar with the talks.
So, if you post on a web board, and that board has any 'paid' (and they could REALLY stretch the meaning of that) advertising, or the web site is paid in any way, it could fall under this?

I HOPE the NRA comes out and revokes the A rating of Manchin and Toomey for this. I really do.
