Figures they would do this in the middle of the Boston marathon issue. People will be listening to bombing coverage all day on CNN, I imagine.

Looks like they are debating it now. Durbin is so sickening with his emotional junk. We want to talk about law, Durbin, not emotion.

Re: Toomey-Manchin Bill debated on C-Span2 2:15pm
 

If I was in the same room with Durbin I wouldn't even shake his hand. In fact I would leave the room as soon as possible before the evil Chicago poison gas invaded too much of my system.

Cornyn Introduces National Conceal-Carry Reciprocity Legislation
Allows Permit Holders to Carry Concealed Weapons Across State Lines
Apr 17 2013

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) introduced an amendment to S. 649 which would guarantee the rights of gun owners to carry concealed weapons across state lines and within other states that also have conceal-carry laws.

“Balancing two of this nation’s most fundamental rights, this measure ensures that law-abiding Americans are able to lawfully carry their weapons across state lines while respecting the rights of each individual state to pass laws that are right for them.”

The Constitutional Concealed Carry Act of 2013 would treat state-issued conceal-carry permits like drivers’ licenses, allowing law-abiding citizens with conceal-carry privileges to conceal-carry in any other states that also permits it by law. The amendment is supported by the National Rifle Association, Gun Owners of America, and the National Shooting Sports Foundation.

Conceal Carry is like a background check on steroids. Very thorough. - John Cornyn

Re: Toomey-Manchin Bill debated on C-Span2 2:15pm
 

Manchin is flat out lying about the internet. The gun has to be shipped to a licensed dealer. If you order a gun from a gun store on-line, you have to go through a background check. All of this is tracked.

I hope Ted Cruz stands up to cut through the chase. We need a legal perspective now and he is a topnotch lawyer - Rand Paul could cut through this also.

Re: Toomey-Manchin Bill debated on C-Span2 2:15pm
 

Good grief! Touchy-feely rhetoric.. Go away, let's get back to logic, the law and the Constitution.

Go away, Manchin.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal lying, er, speaking...

Playing off the deaths of people who are caused by people who don't give a rip about laws. He just said those families came here. Huh, Excuse me? Obama rounded them up and brought them here on his private jet that cost tax payers 100K an hour. I really despise liberal liars....

Common sense? Taking guns from legal gun owners? Did this jerk just say common sense? Common sense would be arresting Holder for selling guns to drug cartels and enforcing the laws we already have. Socialist creep...

Re: Toomey-Manchin Bill debated on C-Span2 2:15pm
 

Him and his ilk get away with it because there probably isn't a single mainstream media reporter there who will challenge him on anything he says. Thus the low info voters are probably believing that the parents went to DC on their OWN dime and time.

Re: Toomey-Manchin Bill debated on C-Span2 2:15pm
 

Exactly! :thumbsup

Sen. Christopher Murphy (D) with another emotional plea.

They appeal to emotions because we have been conditioned to think with our feelings. When one allows feelings to cloud reason, one becomes easily manipulated. THINK!

Wow, that wasn't nearly as close as I thought it was going to be.

Although I realize there are probably many more votes on this bill before it can be put to rest, for now. . . .

They are talking about them, but not giving the numbers. It is very frustrating. They are voting on another right now and it has to do with straw purchasers.
