Sen. Toomey Betrays Gun Owners
Sellout is worse than the Feinstein gun ban!
Washington, DC --(Ammoland.com)- Urgent action required.
It is urgent that every gun owner call their Senators today and demand that they oppose the “See a Shrink, Lose your Guns” sell-out bill that is being authored by Senators Pat Toomey (R) and Joe Manchin (D) – but which also has Chuck Schumer’s fingerprints all over it. Call immediately at 202-224-3121.
See a Shrink, Lose your Guns. The anti-gun “ranters” have spent the last week telling us that Republican Senators can’t filibuster Harry Reid’s gun control bill; that they can’t cut off debate to a bill they haven’t seen yet. “Let the bill come up,” they say. “We need to see the bill” before Senators can vote against cloture to proceed to it.
Well, we’ve seen the Toomey-Manchin-Schumer sell-out, and it’s worse than the Feinstein gun ban, which will reportedly be tied to it and offered simultaneously in a Senate procedure known as an “amendment tree.”
Toomey and Manchin will claim that their bill only covers “gun show sales” and Internet sales. But if you’ve ever talked about your gun and /or let it be known you’d like to sell or buy a gun on the Internet, this language covers you. If you advertise your gun in the church bulletin and the bulletin is put on the Internet, you’re covered.
The only exemption is for sales that are sold exclusively by word of mouth. The increased number of background checks would likely exacerbate the system breakdowns (inherent to NICS) which have shut down gun shows over and over again. It would mean that Americans who were illegally denied firearms because their names were similar to other people’s would effectively be barred from owning a gun. (We would never tolerate such delays for voting rights or other freedoms that we are guaranteed.)
And for those Republicans who think they’re going to be able to offer their useless amendments, guess what? Reid is reportedly going to use a procedure to block out all amendments (called an “amendment tree”). And there are plenty of Senators standing in line to make sure that the Senate doesn’t give “unanimous consent” to let those Republicans offer their amendments.
So if you live in a rural area, you’re effectively barred from selling or buying a gun – or it at least becomes very, very difficult.
Incidentally, the Toomey-Manchin-Schumer “national registry” language is full of holes. There will be a national gun registry as a result of this sell-out.
But that’s not the worst part. Under an amendment in the bill to HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), you could have your guns taken away because your private shrink thinks you’re “dangerous” and could send your name directly to the FBI Instant Check system. ( New York is Already Confiscating Firearms from Gun Owners under a similar state law)
Did you think it was terrible that 150,000 military veterans had been added into the NICS system because they’d seen a VA shrink about their PTSD? Well guess what? Now it’s going to happen to the rest of the population … by the millions!
And the next step, of course, will be to begin to sue psychiatrists that don’t send every single patient’s name to the Instant Check system, and to make sure that their lives are ruined if they don’t send a patient to NICS and anything goes wrong.
The bottom line: “See a shrink; lose your guns.”
All of this will reportedly be on an amendment tree with the Feinstein gun ban and magazine bans.
Repeal of gun owner protections. In addition, Toomey no doubt unintentionally agreed to repeal one of the most important protections for gun owners that was included in the 1986 McClure-Volkmer Act – the provision that would allow you to take an unloaded, locked-up gun through states like New York without being stopped. Under a new subsection (c), the Toomey-Manchin-Schumer bill would require you to “demonstrate” to the satisfaction of New York police where you were coming from and where you are going to. And, if you don’t do that to their satisfaction, they can arrest you.
Please keep in mind, nothing in this bill would have stopped Newtown dirtbag from killing his mother and taking the firearms that she owned and perpetrating the horrible crimes that he committed.
Nothing is this bill would actually make children safer at schools. There is nothing that will actually keep bad guys from stealing or illegally acquiring guns, but there’s plenty that will threaten our gun rights!

The bottom line is does not matter what they call laws. There are all unconstitutional and I don’t accept any of them. Neither should you. We are the keepers of the laws and the people we’ve hired to enforce those rules are making new rules beyond the scope of their authority. Thus, making them criminals who are committing treatson.
100% right anon
Is it any wonder that congress maintains a 9% approval rating…
i thought only adjudication (either criminal or mental health) can take away a person’s constitutional rights?
Obaama is obsessed with gun control. There’s a not so hidden agenda! Hmm I smell muslims
This is such B.S. Does anyone even understand our Bill of Rights and how they are fashioned into law? It certainly is not cobbled together on the Senate Floor with a up or down vote!
The authority to amend the Constitution of the United States is derived from Article V of the Constitution. After Congress proposes an amendment, the Archivist of the United States, who heads the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), is charged with responsibility for administering the ratification process under the provisions of 1 U.S.C. 106b.
The Constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures. None of the 27 amendments to the Constitution have been proposed by constitutional convention. The Congress proposes an amendment in the form of a joint resolution. Since the President does not have a constitutional role in the amendment process, the joint resolution does not go to the White House for signature or approval.
So, anyone who does not understand the process had better bone up on the particulars lest a dictator imposes a “New” definition of our Constitution.
It has been recorded that of the story of Benjamin Franklin who was approached by a woman as he left the Constitutional Convention.
She asked:
“What have you given us?”
Franklin is said to have replied:
“A republic, if you can keep it.”
This exchange was common knowledge 50 years or so ago, as commonly taught to schoolchildren as the story about George Washington’s boyhood experience practicing a woodcutter’s skill on his father’s prized cherry tree and, later, refusing to lie about it. It turns out, the tale about Washington was a lie. But Franklin’s conversation with Mrs. Powell really occurred. Why is it, then, that most people are still aware of the fiction about Washington but are ignorant of the fact about Franklin and, in particular, the truth of Franklin’s comment?
Sadly, we have allowed our educational system to be commandeered by radical liberal progressives who have erased our heritage from our school books and instead filled them with useless information or outright lies. It happened so slowly that it took one hundred years to transform our children’s understanding and beliefs. Unfortunately, those Progressive Marxist Teachers within our school system have carefully taken over as mentors of our children and have filled their minds full of Marxist Progressive propaganda.
It will take at least two generations to reverse and reconstitute our Republic correctly by first starting with the repealing the Act of 1871 and returning our Republic from it’s current grotesque abomination as a Corporation, back into a constitutional republic again.
They cant get together on a budget in 4 years but they sure as hell come together real quick when it comes to restricting gun ownership. Manchin sold out West Virginia voters as well. Only ones who support he seems to care about is the liberal Charleston Gazette. Multitudes are in an uproar and he isn’t worried at all. Why? Pelosi and company have already taught him how to keep his seat for life.
