ribit,
granted it was mere scraps, but at least it would save others, others from criminals, mentally insane, from acquiring a gun. with a simple background check.
IMO, also banning the large clips would do far more. Especially since there are sooo many semi automatics on the street, no chance of changing that.
I think those senators that didn't support this background check are bought & paid for & or cowards!
or both...............
Kudos to Manchin, Toomey, both #1 members of NRA.
McCain stepped up along with Mary Landrieu.
