Seen on the facebook:

Go ahead, try it. Anyway, at first I was like Hey, it’s not terrible and if it does what the press releases said, some parts are pretty good. But then, the bill showed up. It’s all manner of not good and Dave Kopel tells you why: The result of the disparity is “pro-gun” provisions which […]

Joe Manchin: But due process is what’s killing us right now. You can just fuck right off.

What we seem to know It is amusing. Yesterday, I knew the shooter’s name at (checks facebook) about 6:15. It was listed on a couple of websites and the source was a local police scanner. Shortly after, the po po changed to a different channel. And I don’t think the press released the name for […]

OBAMA ADMIN TRUSTED MANCHIN TO BEAT NRA ON GUN CONTROL

Manchin says his supporting gun control was stupid. Yes, yes it was.

Mayor Bloomberg is hosting a fundraiser for Joe Manchin. Gun controllers hanging out. Manchin could have a hard time getting re-elected. Of course, this is a state that kept sending Robert Byrd to DC.

Manchin target of NRA ads. Good.

Dave Kopel wrote a piece for the NYT on Manchin-Toomey. Bloomberg asked that the NYT issue a correction based on Bloomberg’s lies and misleading info on the bill. The times refused. Even they’re not buying it.

There will be a gun bill and, now, it’s just mitigation. The house has a gun bill ready. And here’s the plan. The bills will create a registry. And a lot more here what is a gun show or whatever. But the interesting bit is that SAF’s Alan Gottlieb is cool with the bill. The […]

Except that a cursory reading of it tells me that the bill will: Require background checks at gun shows, except among private sellers. It would also require background […]

Manchin has once again waffled on the assault weapons ban, this time to the side of the good guys. I bet he reads polls

Manchin says he’s working with NRA on universal background checks. He’s lying. Speaking of universal background checks, they won’t work and are likely unconstitutional. And, seriously, do you think anyone giving their child or family member a gun is going to run out and do a background check?

Historically pro-gun Senator Joe Manchin caved on the gun issue just after Sandy Hook. Then, he sort of uncaved. And now has, apparently, caved again.

Senator Manchin reconsidered: I’m not supporting a ban on anything. I’m supporting a conversation on everything

NRA A rated Democrat calls for ban on the most popular rifle in the country Lifelong NRA member, Sen. Manchin, does the same thing. Harry Reid signals he may be up for gun laws to hit the senate floor. Remember back when I said that NRA not endorsing him could be bad. Well, there you […]
