A GREEN LIGHT TO DEBATE GUN VIOLENCE COMPROMISE BILL NOW LIKELY.............

With thirteen Republican U.S. Senators, including the Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, threatening to filibuster any Gun Violence legislation, including the bipartisan Compromise Bill in an attempt to block passage of any reform of current gun laws, even though 86-92% of all Americans in several current polls support Background Checks for all gun purchasers; it seems a Senate vote within the next twenty four hours will allow the Compromise Bill to go to the floor for consideration.  The Gun Viloence Compromise Bill crafted by Republican Pennsylvania Senator  Pat Toomey and Democratic West Virginia Senator Jope Manchin, both Grade A recipients by the National Rifle Association, (NRA) the leading opponent of any new legislation legally require a less than universal background check that include guns purchased at gun shows and online, but exclude family member to family member sales or exchanges.  The Manchin-Toomey Bill does not include any provision for a National Gun Registry, nor does it authorize any form of Assault Weapons Ban.  It is being reported as highly likely the efforts being made by Senators TYoomey and Manchin, with an assist from New York U.S.Senator Chuck Schumer; will receive the 60 or more votes tomorrow morning to proceed to being debated by the full Senate.  I will monitor, and blog more about this in the days and weeks ahead as Gun Violence and whatever Bill emerges and is voted upon or enacted proceeds.............Fr.  Troy
