Sen. Manchin Tells Reporters His Expanded Background Checks Amendment Will Fail In The Senate Today

Good, he threw away a lifetime of A rating's from the NRA for nothing. Unfortunately, having kept his pro-gun mask on until after the November election, we in West Virginia can't do anything to get rid of him until 2018....

As ironic as it seems, we can probably thank the Boston Marathon bombing for killing the anti-gun bill. Obama and crew had planned a huge media push with the Gabby Giffords/Newtown Parents sobfest on parade for yesterday and today to culminate with the Senate vote, which the gun grabbers were counting on to put the gun bill over the top (remember it looked like they almost had the needed number of Senator's Monday morning). Unfortunately, (for Obama) the Boston Bombing completely took gun control off the public radar and took the pressure off wavering Senator's.

I don’t think WV people as a whole would ever seriously considering reprimanding Manchin for much of anything.
