NRA-ILA Statement on Senate Defeat of Manchin-Toomey-Schumer Amendment

Robert Farago - comments No comments

 

The latest from Chris Cox on the Manchin-Toomey amendment defeat in the Senate today:

“Today, the misguided Manchin-Toomey-Schumer proposal failed in the U.S. Senate. This amendment would have criminalized certain private transfers of firearms between honest citizens, requiring lifelong friends, neighbors and some family members to get federal government permission to exercise a fundamental right or face prosecution. As we have noted previously, expanding background checks, at gun shows or elsewhere, will not reduce violent crime or keep our kids safe in their schools . . .

 “The NRA will continue to work with Republicans and Democrats who are committed to protecting our children in schools, prosecuting violent criminals to the fullest extent of the law, and fixing our broken mental health system. We are grateful for the hard work and leadership of those Senators who chose to pursue meaningful solutions to our nation’s most pressing problems. “

  3. It probably took them nine days to decide whether or not to use the typewriter sound effect. . .and to explain what it is it to the people that actually did the video.
