SENATORS STRIKE A DEAL ON BACKGROUND CHECKS: A Senate aide tells ABC's GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS that Sens. Joe Mancin, D-W. Va., and Pat Toomey, R-Pa., have reached deal to expand background checks to gun shows - all commercial sales. The deal will be announced at press conference later this morning. Gun show sales will be conditioned on same background checks and paper record keeping requirements currently applied to retail sales. There will be some exemptions for sales between family members, and short-term hunter to hunter loans If deal holds, likely to pass by fairly wide margin in the Senate.

Oh God, No.

[shmeare]

does this mean that DiFi will amend this to include the AWB if it passes?

This got my attention...

Toomey said he added some provisions to strengthen gun rights in the bill, including allowing a legal gun owner to take his or her concealed weapon over state lines, even if that state does not allow concealed carry.

This is of course a news outlet and not the actual bill language. But I read that story and was like, wait a minute, commercial sales already are subject to background checks if a dealer. The article states that it would not apply to private party sales. How is this any different than what is already in place?

Is this even a big deal for us in CA?

I read as well that provision was struck from the deal.

What happened with the bipartisan NICS Reporting Improvement Act? Is this deal the "gunshow loophole" legislation or more? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiIGU...ure=youtu.be&a

I believe it makes "gun shows" commercial transactions... thus closing the "loophole" but allowing sales between family/friends/licensed hunters and stuff like that to proceed as before.

Haven't seen anything definitive, however.

Gus show sales in some states...

I think not. I see it impacting people in the free states. But, we must not think it has no effect up CA in the long run. It means giving another inch -- and I say this to the Senate of the United States:

"Shuv it where the Sun don't shine."

That's my question? What internet sales are they referring to? Dealers?

[morfeeis]

Nothing worries a rabbit more then when two wolves agree on the best way to cook him. We need to see the text of the bill, take time to read it and then burn the crap out of.

[putput]

Start here.

We still have to see the actual language and any new amendments.

I hope Congress can inject CCW recip but it's not there now...

Stupid people think you can buy guns online and have them shipped to your home. The media has been adding that tibit in for the past few weeks.
