"God help us if we don't act on gun control." says Manchin.

Who is this "us."

Speaking on Face the Nation, Toomey and Manchin worked to extend their 15 minutes of new fame. And, Mark Kelly continued with spouting statistical lies.


Not "a single word" in the legislation "in any way infringes on the Second Amendment rights of a law-abiding citizen," Toomey agreed. "But we think that the laws that make it illegal now for a criminal, a potentially violent, dangerously, mentally ill person, to have a weapon, that's the law of the land. We think that makes sense. ... And so, I think when people see the bill they're going to support it."

Former astronaut Mark Kelly - the husband of former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., who continues to recover from a 2011 assassination attempt that left six dead and 11 wounded - said later on the show an expansion of the current background check system would be "a huge success."

"If we get that passed, and I think we will, it is a big deal," Kelly said. "Right now, 40 percent of guns are bought at gun shows or through, over the internet without a background check. So it's very easy for the criminals, the dangerously mentally ill, to get a gun. So closing those loopholes, I think, is the number one thing we can do to reduce gun violence in this country."

And we are supposed to believe ANYTHING a Democrat says ??? And to use Mark Kelly as a reference for gun control is totally insane... He was seen buying a pistol AND an "assault weapon" in a straw purchase because he was going to "give it to local law enforcement"..... yeah... right......... and the checks in the mail Mark.....
