...Mayor Nutter and former Gov. Ed Rendell announced that they, along with the gun-control group CeaseFirePA, would gather outside Toomey's Philadelphia office Tuesday to urge him to back "commonsense gun legislation . . . especially the expansion of the background-check system."
Exile those bums to Cuba or North Korea for a couple decades: a good strong dose of socialism might help them get over their anti-Second Amendment bigotry.
Do you own firearms? Did you know there are over 20,000 federal, state and local gun laws? Do you know them all? Are you in full compliance with all of the laws?
Do you know if your security detail knows, and is in full compliance with all of the laws? You do know the laws change in each jurisdiction you travel, right?
Mr. Toomey, I know you are a busy man, so when you get a chance, please answer the above questions.
Thanking you in advance,

Sandy Hook may bring us universal background checks. The next mass shooting will convert these background checks into full blown registration. The next mass shooting will bring some form of confiscation.
Would be nice to pout a moratorium on all new laws until the old ones are properly vetted and either purged or deemed worthy of enforcing. Also, make it a crime to propose a law that exempts politicians from it and purge all of those that currently exist - might purge the ranks of a number of career pols once the bennies dry up.
Just another Pubbie politician who “bends over” without a fight.
Not one dime for anyone’s re-election that votes yes on any unconstitutional laws.
Toomey will not cave.
If he is in talks, he is collecting information about the strength of the opposition and their intended tactics.
He will also be able to say he reached out, but they were unwilling to compromise.
It is a brilliant strategy to turn the tables and undercut Schumer.
Ping for later
The idiots in the Senate can posture all they want. Anything they send over to the House is DOA.
[[Could Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Toomey be a Republican bridge who helps secure a deal on background checks on guns?]]
If not toomey, then certainly some other sellout republican-
Gun control IS goign to sweep this nation- the ball is now rolling with colorado connecticut ny and other states ALREADY violating hte constitution- other states will see that htey got away with it without hte public fightign to retain their rights, and they too will jump on board and ANY state that doesn’t will eventually be shamed into acceptign gun control by the left- Where are the judges puttign an immediate halt to the UNSONSTITUTIONAL laws that have been passed on colo conn and ny and othe states?
Yet another warning of why “fiscal conservatives” backed by the Club for Growth, who eschew “social issues” are fake conservatives, who eventually come to see the entire Constitution as a “social issue” they can ignore to perpetually remain in power.
This article from the Inquirer is a fabrication and the idea that CeaseFirePA will change the way Toomey votes is crazy. Toomey knows well that he received very few votes from the Philadelphia area when he was elected, and those votes are from the few remaining good people left in that area. Voting for any gun control is political death wish for Toomey. Gun owners will remember their rights being striped and won't vote or him in the future. Liberals won't vote for him no matter what he does. I am certain Toomey understands that.
I hope people realize that PA's gun laws are on par of TX. There are a million active hunters in PA, and many more gun owners. That's out of a population of 12 million.
Toomey has always been pro-gun. If he falls on this, anyone could be bought out.
