Manchin-Toomey is gun registration: "Background gun-check records are saved."

7:00am Wednesday, April 17, 2013
by Alan Korwin The so-called "background check" bill is really about gun registration -- ultimate and imminent registration of every gun and gun owner in America. The mandatory paper records are saved -- nobody denies that. Federal agents use those all the time. The electronic records have virtually no controls on them.
