Gun measure goes to the Senate
Today the bipartisan measure to expand background checks for gun sales goes to the Senate.
The ad above, from Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, is the most effective we’ve seen.
And still, it makes only part of the argument. It’s not just guns that have changed, but gun sales as well.
Current background-check requirements don’t apply to gun shows or to private sales on the internet – a selling platform well beyond the imaginations of those who passed the Second Amendment in 1791.
The proposal from Sens. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Pat Toomey (R-PA) would close both loopholes.
Voting is set to begin at 4 p.m., and although background checks have overwhelming public support, it’s unclear that the measure will have the 60 votes needed to pass.
Update: The Manchin-Toomey amendment failed to reach a vote. It was blocked by 56 yes, 46 no.
