Manchin-Toomey gun legislation is a Trojan Horse
"Gun-rights group endorses Manchin-Toomey background check bill"
http://j.mp/YH6oh6 (Washington Post)
"If you read the Manchin-Toomey substitute amendment, you can see all
the advances for our cause that it contains," Gottlieb wrote. He then
listed the gun-rights advantages in the bill: "interstate sales of
handguns, veteran gun rights restoration, travel with firearms
protection, civil and criminal immunity lawsuit protection, and most
important of all, the guarantee that people, including federal
officers, will go to federal prison for up to 15 years if they attempt
to use any gun sales records to set up a gun registry." These
"advances" cannot be achieved, Gottlieb wrote, "unless we win the
Senate vote on Tuesday to substitute Senators Manchin and Toomey's
balanced approach" to background checks.

WARNING: MANCHIN-TOOMEY is a TROJAN HORSE from #gunfetishists. It
only creates weak and easily bypassed new background checks, while
forcing states like California, New York, and others who wisely ban or
greatly limit the carrying of concealed guns to instead accept
virtually unlimited carrying of these weapons by #gunfetishists from
other states. The legislation carries other pro-#gunfetishists
provisions as well. *UTTERLY UNACCEPTABLE.*
