Sen. Pat Toomey: Odds of Passing Gun Control Better Than Ever

Breitbart – by AWR Hawkins

Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA) suggests the odds of passing gun control when the Senate reconvenes in September are better than ever.

Toomey is specifically referencing the gun control bill he and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) first pushed after the December 14, 2012, Sandy Hook Elementary School attack; a bill which they have now revived as part of their push for universal background checks. 

CBS News reports that Toomey has been talking with White House about he and Manchin’s bill, and Politico quotes Toomey saying the chances of passage now are “better than they have ever looked at any time.”

Toomey suggests the bill he and Manchin co-sponsor will need to undergo changes in order to draw more Republican support, but he is still optimistic about the gun control passing.

The revived push for universal background checks comes after the August 3, 2019, El Paso, Texas, shooting and the August 4, 2019, Dayton, Ohio, shooting. In both cases the guns were acquired “legally,” which means they were purchased from licensed dealers where background checks are required. Therefore, universal background checks would not have prevented either attack.

  2. CBS News reports that Toomey has been talking with White House about he and Manchin’s bill,
    YOU’LL ALWAYS FIND A DAMNED KIKE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS SHIT………………..

  3. “… the chances of passage now are “better than they have ever looked at any time.”

    Translation: “We’d better get those guns soon, before the sheeple wake up completely and start stringing us all up from the nearest lampposts!”

    “… he is still optimistic about the gun control passing.”

    We’re optimistic about HIS passing.

    Into the next life.

    1. You betcha, #1. These traitors are getting nervous and they have every reason to be. They’re ramping up the speed because the flow of real information and truth is traveling faster than their spigot of BS, and once anyone with half a brain realizes they’ve been flim-flammed about EVERYTHING, they can’t UNSEE the truth. Never been a better or worse time than right now to be alive.

      It’s like breakfast with eggs and bacon. The chicken is involved and plays a part, but the pig is committed to the end.
