Bipartisan Support Gaining For Expanded Background Checks
From Ocala.com:
Manchin, a moderate Democrat, is an NRA member who aired a 2010 campaign ad in which he literally shot a hole through Democratic environmental legislation that he pledged to oppose.
Also involved is Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., another NRA member with a strong conservative record but occasional maverick impulses; No. 3 Senate Democratic leader Charles Schumer of New York, a liberal; and moderate GOP Sen. Mark Kirk of Illinois.
Amendment That Prohibits Sale of Weapons to Egypt Rejected by Senate
Human Events reports on Rand Paul’s amendment in the Senate. Paul said this when it did not pass:
