Joe Manchin and Pat Toomey rolled out their compromise a few minutes ago. The Washington Post<\/a> writes about the deal;<\/p>\n

The law would not cover private transactions between individuals, unless there was advertising or an online service involved. <\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

Background checks would need to be completed within three days, except at gun shows, where they would have to be completed within two days for the next four years, and then within 24 hours. In order to avoid processing delays, the FBI would be required to complete background checks requested at gun shows before those requested elsewhere. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, the compromise included records-keeping in regards to the background checks;<\/p>\n

Under the Manchin-Toomey deal, records of the newly covered transactions would be kept by federally licensed arms dealers, according to a person familiar with the agreement. Currently, licensed arms dealers keep records of gun sales that take place in gun stores. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And there a provision for active duty troops;<\/p>\n

Members of the military would be permitted to purchase firearms in their home states and anywhere they are based, said the aides, who were not authorized to speak publicly about details of the agreement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, the bill isn’t so bad that folks who are selling guns out of their trunks in dark parking lots won’t begin complying. Of course, I’m being facetious. Senators are going to be allowed to introduce amendments, so it’s probably not going to be the same bill that we read about today. And Feinstein has promised to reintroduce her scary black gun ban.<\/p>\n

Since the Democrats were so head-strong about “doing something”, this is probably the best we could hope for, since Republicans have begun to fold like a cheap lawn chair on gun control (surprise), if they’re going to collapse, I guess this is the thing we’d hope they’d collapse on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
