West VA senator Manchin at it again

He's reintroducing the failed background check legislation.

WASHINGTON (AP) — One of the architects of failed gun control legislation says he's bringing it back.
Sen. Joe Manchin on Sunday said he would re-introduce a measure that would require criminal and mental health background checks for gun buyers at shows and online. The West Virginia Democrat says that if lawmakers read the bill, they will support it.
Manchin sponsored a previous version of the measure with Republican Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania. It failed.
Manchin says there was confusion over what was in the bill.
In the wake of last year's school shooting in Newtown, Conn., Congress took up gun control legislation, but it was blocked by supporters of the powerful pro-gun lobby, the National Rifle Association.
Manchin appeared on "Fox News Sunday."

Let's introduce legislation to do background checks and universal registration and tracking of all Muslims in America. Sure, the percent of Muslims who are terrorists is very tiny, but you never know. Law abiding Muslims will have nothing to worry about anyway.
Which is precisely the same arguments put forth regarding firearm registration, right?
Excellent point of logic, I thought.
:agree:
Because it will crush the local F2F sales. It does not just say "online"- it also includes print publications as well. So, buying out of the Classifieds? Ask the Govt 'Mommy, may I?' Armslist.com? Same thing

Because these laws are written by people who think magazines are ammunition or clips or hand grenades or.............
I will fear no evil: For I carry a .308 and not a .270
