Toomey: ‘Cautiously’ Optimistic About ‘Common Sense’ Gun Bill that Protects Second Amendment Rights
Breitbart ^ | 06/06/2022 | Trent Baker

Posted on 06/06/2022 11:47:55 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Monday, Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA) said he was “cautiously” optimistic about getting “common sense” gun legislation passed to prevent future mass shootings.

Toomey acknowledged on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom” that there was no way to stop every mass killing, but he said he wanted to “make it more difficult” for the mentally ill and dangerous criminals to obtain a weapon to go forward with a deadly attack.

Give an inch, and you never get it back.

They’ll just stand one inch closer to their real goal.

What is so hard to grasp about that?

Toomey wants The New York Times, and the women on The View, to love him.

Based on all the patriots who were ARRESTED AND IMPRISONED merely for ATTENDING the Trump rally on January 6th, there’s no doubt as to WHO the DemonRats would RED FLAG and DISARM under such gun legislation.

I take no gun control seriously until Hunter Biden is arrested, tried, convicted and imprisoned for perjury on his BATF form 4473.

To "make it more difficult” for the mentally ill and dangerous criminals to obtain a weapon is fine with me, but I'm guessing that's only a small part of what the Democrats want. Normally, they support ideas where only criminals can own guns.

Toomey has no association with "common sense".

Tell the prosecutors to Quit worrying about "disparate impacts" and do their damn job and keep the criminals in jail!

Reopen the insane asylums and staff them properly.

Secure our schools and provide armed security.

They really want the red flag laws. The other stuff is distraction, but icing on the cake if they get it.

The Soviet Union used to label political dissidents as "mentally ill". Just look at Liz Cheney's comments about people who voted for Trump and you can see where they would like to take things.
Pass a leftist bill, those politically opposed are "mentally ill", then take away their ability to defend themselves.

The second amendment protects gun rights. There can be NO bill or law that protects gun rights. Any such bill or law is designed to infringe gun rights...which is made illegal by the second amendment to The Constitution of The United States of America. Q.E.D.

to “make it more difficult” for the mentally ill and dangerous criminals to obtain a weapon
= = =

They can’t define ‘assault rifle’.

How can they define ‘mentally ill’, or ‘dangerous criminal’?

This is yet another “common stench” bill regarding the infringement of the Second Amendment? Because the Democrat Socialists are notorious for failing to offer any other kind.

Nothing in any of the innumerable bills they have offered does a thing to prevent mass shootings, or addresses the real problems. The wrong people obtain guns through nefarious means, and they use them in totally inappropriate fashion, as a force multiplier in the perpetuation of a crime. Even if the gun is not fired, the THREAT it could be used is sufficient to compel victims to surrender their valuables or submit to less than lethal abuse.

Who are the wrong people? Certainly not an NRA member, who is aware of the responsibility of the right to keep and bear arms, nor of the many millions of other individuals who recognize this is not a nice world, and that there are threats to person and property, that the law enforcement officers of this country have no obligation to watch over on a 24/7/365 basis, for which they must protect by their own efforts.

There are predators of every kind out there, waiting for the first opportunity to practice their mischief on those they consider victims. They need not be armed with firearms, as any number of devices can be used as weapons of force, from a brick to a pickup truck, from shovels and hammers to knives and clubs. If the prospective victim is carrying a sidearm, the equation changes very quickly. After that is settled, then you call for law enforcement. When seconds count, it can take law enforcement minutes to arrive.

The only reason they want universal background checks is so they can maintain a database of every gun owner in the country.
