Toomey-Manchin Gun Control Bill On Line

Senators Manchin and Toomey

Two Senators Craft Gun Control Bill.

Today the proposed bill was available on line. Unlike the Affordable Health Care Act.  commonly known as Obama Care. This bill offers enough time for the public to access the proposed bill in it's entirety. The bill is only 29 pages. The Senators, one a democrat and one a Republican are two of the more conservative members of the Senate. Both come from areas that have a large gun owner constituency Both members of the NRA and gun owners themselves. With A ratings from the NRA. If you click on the link you will find the proposed bill. This bill has no amendments attached to it at  present. It is predicted that the proposed legislation will be fertile ground for a slew of attachments.

I have read the bill and it appears to be innocuous.  It is not. This is a bill that contains exceptions, as all bills do.  It is rather a starting point down the road to stricter and stricter gun control regulations.  This is the way it is done. Slowly and surely bringing us to the end result that will complete the final thrust of the far left to eliminate the 2cd amendment. The legislation sets in motion a commission. That will in the end recommend what ever it is commissions recommend. That eventually change the original legislation to be unrecognizable, as first written. Which does not in the very least address the original purpose of reducing the tragedies of Sandy Hook. What would you do in cases like the Long Horn University slashing spree?  Which effected 14 students being slashed across the face and neck. Or the stabbing spree on the N.Y.C. subways that left 4 dead.

More laws, only give the opponents to the 2cd amendment more apparatus to conger up more laws to finally allow guns only to be in the hands of criminals. The law abiding citizen will be the targeted enemy of public safety. The real enemy, those who have guns illegally.  Will be given a pass under the guise of " not enough resources to control the problem".  Laws on the books that require back round checks are already in place.  These laws must be enforced.  At present they are not.  In fact the problem is exasperated by decisions made by ATF and Justice dept. top officers to proliferate guns to criminals. Such as Fast and Furious, that resulted in many murders. Including border patrol officers.

I suggest people read the proposed legislation that is written in plain laymen language.  I further suggest to pay attention to the words "not withstanding" and "may". These are key words that can not be overlooked.  It makes the legislation vague and gives the Attorney General too much leeway in application of the law. That is bad policy as is evidenced by the present Atty. General's questionable practices as to every and all issues.
