RE :”Toomey is from the most pro-gun state north of the Mason-Dixon Line. “

Maybe in 1994 but PA has changed to left much since then (they are moving West) and in 2004 they booted Santorum ~ 10 years ago. Its pretty liberal now as Obama’s victory gives evidence.

More than that it may look like the filibuster team didnt do their job to court enough others in the Senate GOP to join them, maybe pre-emptively declaring they will filibuster any bill no matter whats in it wasnt the greatest idea for stopping this.

I want to see whats in the bill. I want to see how Dems react to it.

The Bill does not allow the govt to keep records, only dealers. The Bill would apply only to gun sales through “paid advertisements”, not “Friends or neighbors”.

Even if the filibuster worked, Reid was going to circumvent it. I cannot see liberal dems supporting the Manchin Bill without amendments, amendments that would expose redstate Dems to problems, and in the end, kill the Bill. It is a lose-lose for the Dems.

PA is still staunchly pro-gun. Santorum got booted because he got too Beltway-tized. Looks like Toomey is on his way to that condition as well.
