Not that any of us didn't see this coming, Manchin and Toomey are at it again. Manchin's term doesn't end until Jan 3 2018 but Toomey is up for re-election in 2016 (term ends Jan 3 2017). Let these guy's know what you think about them trying this bill again!

I apologize if this is in the wrong subforum. I figured Activism would be the best area for it but it wouldn't be the first time I was wrong.

This post has been updated.
In the wake of the Charleston shooting, Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) are considering ways to renew their failed push to expand meaningful background checks on gun purchases.
In separate interviews Tuesday night, at a reception before a ceremony hosted by Sandy Hook families where Toomey was honored, the senators discussed their desire to find a new way forward.
“We want to make sure we have the votes. Pat’s going to have to, and I’ll work with him, to get some of our colleagues on the Republican side,” Manchin said, adding that he hasn’t talked directly to Toomey about a revival.
