lso killed.Manchin, a red-state Democrat working with 
blue-state Republican Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, is trying to broker 
a deal that would expand criminal and mental health background checks by 
pressuring states to share data on prohibited purchasers and to include 
sales that take place through a commercial enterprise.An individual could 
sell another individual a gun without a background check, but if a 
commercial entity is involved  hosting a gun show or an Internet 
site  mandatory checks would be required. Even as gun control proponents 
bemoan the deal as watered down, gun rights groups remain worried that 
the legislation could be altered to create a federal firearms registry. 
The Manchin-Toomey plan forbids the creation of such a list, but conservatives 
hold little trust when it is the Obama Justice Department that is 
doing the enforcement.But even if Manchin-Toomey somehow survives the Senate 
and passes the House, it would not prevent the next Newtown. Or 
the next Aurora. Or the next Tucson. Or the next Blacksburg. All 
of the weapons said to be involved in those mass killings were 
legally purchased from gun merchants and subject to full federal background 
checks.And while gun control advocates can be happy that the expanded system 
may mean fewer gun sales, theres little reason to think that Manchin-Toomey 
would do much to help the problem of greatest concern in the 
Democratic Party: street crime. As the urban party, Democrat
urdens on law-abiding citizens. 
The agreement also prioritizes collecting records over protecting citizens," 
Coburn said. "This is the wrong approach.Preventing sales to dangerous persons, 
not collecting receipts, will save lives."The National Rifle Association 
followed up with its own criticism of the proposal."Expanding background 
checks at gun shows will not prevent the next shooting, will not 
solve violent crime and will not keep our kids safe in schools," 
the NRA said. "The sad truth is that no background check would 
have prevented the tragedies in Newtown, Aurora or Tucson."Other Republicans 
voiced concern that the legislation being voted on Thursday still included 
the older background check measure. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, 
who plans to vote against proceeding on Thursday, said that background check 
provision would be a "clear overreach.""The following offenses would now 
be federal crimes absent surrendering their firearms and conducting a background 
check. Federal offenses: an uncle giving his nephew a hunting rifle for 
Christmas; a niece giving her aunt a handgun for protection; a cousin 
loaning another cousin his hunting rifle if the loan occurs just one 
day before the beginning of hunting season," he said.The Manchin-Toomey 
plan would be voted on later as an amendment. Manchin and Toomey 
both have received "A" ratings from the NRA, and their endorsements could 
make it easier for hesitant colleagues to back th
