Toomey-Manchin Fails on Cloture Vote, 54-46; Four Democrats Vote for Filibuster
— Ace


You.

So that's done.

Manchin:

“If you want to remember those 20 babies… please consider you should vote for this bill.”

I can conceive of a hypothetical bill which might protect some babies, which I do not think the Democratic caucus would support.

All "babies" are equal, but some are more equal than others. I have gathered from recent events that apparently in libland white middle to upper-middle class 6 year-olds are more equal than poor black actual babies.

"This fight will never, ever end.

Ever."

 

No, it won't.

 

It's getting to be time to part ways.

 

The Red States and the Red Counties of the Blue States need to start heading out on their own.

 

The great immigration experiment of the late 19th Century and the early 20th Century has proven to be a catastrophic failure, and has resulted in the death of what had been the Republic.

 

It's time to start salvaging the pieces which are still salvageable.

Perhaps Senator Manchin would like to cast a vote on a bill which remembers all of  the babies who were killed in Kermit Gosnell's clinic.  I'm pretty sure there were more than 20.

43 This whole issue just shows that liberalism is a child's philosophy, which cowardly and/or opportunistic Republicans often submit to, even if they disagree. Because we all know not wanting 20 dead "babies" automatically equates to wanting to restrict the 2A rights of law-abiding citizens. Oh, and way to go, Pat Toomey. You covered yourself in glory there, didn't you, and preceded Marco Rubio into infamy.

107 Y'all know my opinion of universal background checks, so let's not get into it again.

But.. I think Monday's terrorist attacks in Boston have made an extremely important point that is applicable to gun control.  And that is:  If someone wants to kill a bunch of people, he will do it no matter what the "law" says about it.

Parading a bunch of grieving parents around has seemed to work quite well up til now - but apparently not well enough.  And that's good.  Because, as much as I feel sorry for those parents, someone needs to say it:  background checks wouldn't have prevented their kid's deaths.  The only prevention may have been the very remote possibility that members of that community would have recognized Lanza's instability.  The federal government couldn't have helped them.

and one more thing: Fuck you Democrats who have no shame leading these people around Washington D.C.

287 On January 25, 2013, the U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that President Obama's appointments to the National Labor Relations Board were unconstitutional. This decision left the board without a quorum and threw hundreds of board rulings into question.

Today, the House passed H.R. 1120, the Preventing Greater Uncertainty in Labor-Management Relations Act, in a 219 to 209 vote, preventing the NLRB from issuing additional rules until it's status has been resolved.

304 "The great immigration experiment of the late 19th Century and the early 20th Century has proven to be a catastrophic ..." NO. The great open-borders experiment of our own day will prove to be, though. A century ago, the immigrants did not have the public dole to coddle them. Even more important, they were expected to be grateful to be a part of this country and to learn its language, customs, and institutions. Today, the minute an immigrant gets off the boat, so to speak, he's handed an EBT card, told that the natives hate him, and is encouraged to demand his "rights" against them. I would rather have 100,000,000 immigrants under the old dispensation than 100 under the present one. The vast majority of the old immigrants were eager to be patriotic Americans. At least half of the new ones, especially the illegals, are not. (I am a 1st generation immigrant, BTW.)

331 Looking for serious responses here - Aside from potential slippery slope concerns and a framing/public image issue which drives the narrative in anti-2nd amendment ways why was this amendment considered so toxic? 

I understand Begich, Heitkamp, etc issues as they either are up for re-election in pro-gun states or are from strongly pro-gun ones but in general it seems like the most restrictive part of the bill would be to impose criminal background checks at gun shows and through internet sales - which doesn't seem that ridiculous even in the context of ensuring gun rights are protected.  If such checks are in place for most gun sales it seems to make sense to have them included during sales through other mediums.  Is it the slippery slope concerns that make people opposed to it?  Or is it the fees associated w/the background checks? (125 dollars is certainly a significant tax - though i suppose that wouldn't be a sticking point on such an amendment)

Note I'm not talking about the moronic arguments about Newtown/protecting babies made by some of the amendment's supporters - this type of bill and likely any that even democrats would propose would have had no effect in reducing the likelihood of such tragedies.

372 ....but in general it seems like the most restrictive part of the bill would be to impose criminal background checks at gun shows and through internet sales - which doesn't seem that ridiculous even in the context of ensuring gun rights are protected.

Not sure where you got this info or if I'm misreading it but....there are background checks at gun shows and an internet sale of a gun must be shipped to a FFL dealer where a background check is run when the purchaser picks up the gun.

That's probably true - this type of amendment likely wouldn't prevent criminals from getting guns so would effectively be taxing/adding bureaucracy to law abiding citizens. 

I'm sure Toomey must have thought it would have some minimal effect on getting gun in the hands of criminals or at least would have driven black market prices higher (making them prohibitive for some).

------------


The bill would have done nothing - NOTHING - to prevent the shooting in Newtown.  Not one thing.   Newtown was a prop to get what they've been itching to get at for years, nothing more and nothing less.

The real issue is mental health.  Until that is addressed, they might as well pack us all up in bubble wrap, because deranged killers are going to kill.  It's why they call them "Deranged Killers."  If not guns, then bombs.  If not bombs, then knives.  If not knives, then gas.

When will people realize that a gun is merely a hunk of metal.  It has no inherent good or bad to it.

Posted by: Eric Holder at April 17, 2013 01:37 PM (R18D0)

422 I guess I am going to repeat myself on how things work now with gun sales.
This is all Federal law.

Any weapon sold across state lines has to be delivered to a registered gun store for pick up. 

A registered gun store is required to keep an inventory log book recording the make, model, serial number, and buyer of the weapon.  The BATF goes through these books with a fine tooth comb during audits.  Any screw ups can result in jail time.  Falsifying the books will be found out and also punished.

Then when you the customer walks in.  You have to fill out a brief form that says among other things you are not a felon and you are the end user.  Felonies will prevent a sale going through.  Owner runs a quick check to see if you can purchase weapon.  If he gets no hits, then the sale can proceed.

Now the gun store goes to a gun show.  Guess what, all those Federal laws still apply at the gun show.

The only 'loophole' is between two private citizens at a gun show or garage sale or even the local classifieds.  Still the smart seller will keep records of whom they sold the weapon to.  Just in case.  But that is the only existing 'loophole' and what Manchin-Toomey tried to peddle would not have really closed it.

Ummmm troll, I mean CTJ, if it's state to state they MUST have the gun shipped by an FFL holder to another FFL holder who does the background check there. If it's in the same state I can sell the gun to someone without a background check. This was all explained to you before.

They become blind to the fact that most of the things they do have adverse effects on the nation, but in their head they know best.

Not for long, I'm guessing. The far-Left comprising the Democratic Party's base has been pressing President Obama to use the regulatory powers of the Executive to do a runaround on any congressional legislation (or lack of legislation). Unlike Democratic members of the House and Senate, the President doesn't have to worry about reelection. The temptation to play god in the machine and 'take action when Congress won't' will be too great for him to resist.

487 @488

I generally agree with you on that - but in the case of guns there's already regulation during the sale when you're buying from an FFL dealer.  It seems from what you and others have intimated in the thread that if you don't have an FFL that selling to another citizen is illegal? so then these background checks etc would redundant and be a case of extra bureaucracy instead of enforcement.

I can't speak for other states but my home state (Indiana) does not allow private sales without going through an FFL. I can give/bequeath my firearms to my children or spouse or as a gift to anyone as long as I have a 'reasonable' belief the recipient is not a felon or a wife beater or drug addict or mentally unstable, etc., but can't sell them outright.

 

The 'loophole' the anti-gun people are so worried about doesn't exist where I live. Probably doesn't exist anywhere else, either.

498 Again - asking mostly to be informed - this is my understanding of gun sales from folks in the thread + some basic googling

Interstate + Intrastate sales are regulated by the govt by requiring FFL in order to sell/manufacture

Those selling w/o an FFL are doing so illegally and the required checks, etc are being imposed on them

In that case it seems the amendment would be redundant - tell me if I'm making a mistake.  Also I"m guessing the govt is invoking a commerce clause/wickard argument to regulate intrastate sales?

Guess again.  From you state gov website...

http://www.in.gov/isp/files/2010_Firearms_Purchasing_FAQ%283%29.pdf


If I purchase a handgun from a private person, do I have to complete a transfer
form?

No. Indiana does not require the completion of a form for a private purchase nor do you
have to route the transfer through a dealer. Recommend reviewing statutes in IC 35-
47-2.5 which is the chapter regulating the sale of handguns in regards to a private sale
or purchase. The department also recommends exchanging receipts to document the
transfer.



Try looking shit up next time.

Posted by: Dang at April 17, 2013 01:59 PM (R18D0)

501 @510

Thanks - that's what I was alluding to - though it seems like the 1968 gun control act covers both inter and some intra state sales?

With respect to the private dealer reference here is the FFL description:

Private sales between unlicensed individuals who are residents of the same state are allowed under federal law so long as such transfers do not violate the other existing federal and state laws. While current law mandates that a background check be performed if the seller has a federal firearms license, private parties living in the same state are not required to perform such checks under federal law. State laws however can prohibit such sales.

A person who does not have a Federal Firearms License may not be in the business of buying or selling firearms. Individuals buying and selling firearms without a federal license must be doing so from their own personal collection.


Posted by: inyourheadZOMBIE at April 17, 2013 02:01 PM (PeB4U)

502 So the Federal FFL description you quote is trying to blur the line between a licensed dealer who's business model is to sell guns and make a profit and some guy who is trying to thin out his personal collection.

Yet more verbal gymnastics to get people in trouble over.

Nah - for regulatory legalese its actually pretty clear.  Only interstate sales are regulated for both groups (FFL and non FFL holders) while intrastate sales are only regulated for those who want to run a business for profit like you said - then it's up to the state.  I guess the amendment would extend it to all groups - which would have an effect on what I'm guessing are a lot of states (like Indiana).
