lso killed.Manchin, a red-state Democrat working with
blue-state Republican Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, is trying to broker
a deal that would expand criminal and mental health background checks by
pressuring states to share data on prohibited purchasers and to include
sales that take place through a commercial enterprise.An individual could
sell another individual a gun without a background check, but if a
commercial entity is involved hosting a gun show or an Internet
site mandatory checks would be required. Even as gun control proponents
bemoan the deal as watered down, gun rights groups remain worried that
the legislation could be altered to create a federal firearms registry.
The Manchin-Toomey plan forbids the creation of such a list, but conservatives
hold little trust when it is the Obama Justice Department that is
doing the enforcement.But even if Manchin-Toomey somehow survives the Senate
and passes the House, it would not prevent the next Newtown. Or
the next Aurora. Or the next Tucson. Or the next Blacksburg. All
of the weapons said to be involved in those mass killings were
legally purchased from gun merchants and subject to full federal background
checks.And while gun control advocates can be happy that the expanded system
may mean fewer gun sales, theres little reason to think that Manchin-Toomey
would do much to help the problem of greatest concern in the
Democratic Party: street crime. As the urban party, Democrat
e effort.Gun control advocates
still face opposition from many Republican senators and resistance from
moderate Democrats, including several facing re-election next year in GOP-leaning
states. In the Republican-run House, leaders have shown little enthusiasm
for Obama's ideas, making that chamber an even higher hurdle.Under the agreement
the two senators announced at the Capitol, background checks would be expanded
to all for-profit transactions including sales at gun shows and online,
with records kept by licensed gun-dealers who would handle the paperwork.
Exempted would be noncommercial transactions such as between relatives.
Currently, the system applies only to sales by the country's 55,000 federally
licensed firearms dealers.The agreement also contains provisions expanding
firearms rights, and that concerns gun control supporters. Some restrictions
on transporting guns across state lines would be eased, sellers would be
shielded from lawsuits if the buyer passed a check but later used
a firearm in a crime and gun dealers could conduct business in
states where they don't live."Truly the events at Newtown changed us all,"
said Manchin, citing the Connecticut town where December's murders of 20
first-graders and six educators propelled gun control to the top rank of
national issues. "Americans on both sides of the debate can and must
find common ground."Emotion, always prominent in the gun issue, cropped
up late Wednesday when Manchi

a covert test of ballistic missile technology.A subsequent test in December
was successful, and that was followed by the country's third underground
nuclear test on Feb. 12, possibly taking the regime closer to mastering
the technology for mounting an atomic weapon on a missile.

Korea has moved missiles into firing position
urdens on law-abiding citizens.
The agreement also prioritizes collecting records over protecting citizens,"
Coburn said. "This is the wrong approach.Preventing sales to dangerous persons,
not collecting receipts, will save lives."The National Rifle Association
followed up with its own criticism of the proposal."Expanding background
checks at gun shows will not prevent the next shooting, will not
solve violent crime and will not keep our kids safe in schools,"
the NRA said. "The sad truth is that no background check would
have prevented the tragedies in Newtown, Aurora or Tucson."Other Republicans
voiced concern that the legislation being voted on Thursday still included
the older background check measure. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell,
who plans to vote against proceeding on Thursday, said that background check
provision would be a "clear overreach.""The following offenses would now
be federal crimes absent surrendering their firearms and conducting a background
check. Federal offenses: an uncle giving his nephew a hunting rifle for
Christmas; a niece giving her aunt a handgun for protection; a cousin
loaning another cousin his hunting rifle if the loan occurs just one
day before the beginning of hunting season," he said.The Manchin-Toomey
plan would be voted on later as an amendment. Manchin and Toomey
both have received "A" ratings from the NRA, and their endorsements could
make it easier for hesitant colleagues to back th
