Cheaper Than Dirt! Propaganda on Toomey-Manchin

Online retailer Cheaper Than Dirt!the online retailer most recently known for jacking their prices sky high, and stopping the sales of modern sporting rifles after Sandy Hook  has released a post on their blog called “I Support Toomey-Manchin and You Should Too!”. This smells of propaganda to me.

They go through portions of the bill, and only point out the “good” parts, neglecting to tell us that under this bill, “online gun sales” has an expanded definition (Posting the gun on Craigslist, and meeting the buyer face to face would be an online gun sale), and we would be giving up more than we would get back.

I said it yesterday, and I’ll say it again today. I do not support ANY gun control measures. Don’t be fooled by the “The Public Safety And Second Amendment Rights Protection Act” as it has been named.

For your reading pleasure, our friends over at the Heritage Foundation have written several articles on why this bill is garbage.

• Bad Law on Federal Gun Registry
• Allows Undercover Busts at Gun Shows
• Secret FBI Background Checks on Job Applicants
• Allows NICS background checks to violate HIPAA privacy
• 5 years in prison for losing, or having a gun stolen that isn’t reported in 24hrs

Don’t be fooled into thinking this bill is good for gun owners. It never was, and never will be. Don’t compromise, and don’t give one single inch.
