Dear Mr. Codrea:
Thank you for expressing your views on firearms legislation.
The Second Amendment makes clear that Americans have the right to own guns, and the Supreme Court over time has given meaning to this right. Americans know that with rights come responsibilities. And when our children and families are no longer safe at our schools, in our malls, and in our movie theaters, then we as a country must take action.
Last year, the Senate considered bipartisan legislation that would have provided a reasonable approach to expanding background checks for gun sales. While individuals who purchase guns from licensed gun dealers are subject to background checks, those who obtain guns from other sources, such as the internet or gun shows, are not. Senators Manchin and Toomey introduced a bipartisan proposal that would have required background checks for all gun sales in commercial settings. Such a change would help ensure that guns stay out of the hands of criminals or the mentally unstable. Approximately 90 percent of all Americans supported this proposal, but it was blocked by a filibuster that required a supermajority for passage. I am disappointed that a minority of the Senate prevented action on this issue.
Gun control is a complex issue and we must work together to uphold our Constitution while at the same time ensuring that our communities are safe. Should the Senate consider this issue in the future, I will be sure to keep your views in mind.
Thank you again for being in touch with me.
Sincerely,
Sherrod BrownSo how did this weasel-wording fraud get elected to the Senate in the first place?
United States Senator
Easy. Look who the Republicans offered.
How the hell does anyone get fire in their belly for that?

I hope those goons continue to invoke "Diamond Joe" Manchin every time they bring up UBCs. We need to be constantly reminded just how evil he is.

All internet sales must go through a dealer at the receiving end. Unless the buyer and seller can stand face to face, then it's a private sale and none of the governments business. The only sales at gun shows that don't get checked are private sellers, again in a face to face transaction that isn't the governments business.
I see he's still spouting that 90% lie. Do they really think we are this stupid? Of course a bunch of people must be that stupid, they keep re-electing these turds.
Careful with that letter. Get any on you?
