Sen. Tom Coburn: Enhanced background checks will pass Senate, but not as written
By David Sherfinski, The Washington Times, Sunday, March 24, 2013
Sen. Tom Coburn said he thinks some kind of strengthened background checks on gun sales will pass the Senate, but not the measure Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says the body will take up when Congress returns from its two-week break.
“I don’t know a Republican that doesn’t want to have significantly enhanced and universal background checks,” Mr. Coburn said on an episode of C-SPAN’s “Newsmakers” that aired Sunday. “How you do that and protect the Second Amendment at the same time is very important, and we are very, very close.”

What happens if you try & sell a gun you bought years ago & have no records for?
How will you get anyone except law abiding citizens to comply?
How will you stop gun thefts?
How will you stop guns from being smuggled into the country for black-market resale? ... you have not stopped 11 million illegal aliens, or hundreds of tones of drugs/year, how will you stop guns?
Write/phone your legislators, ask them these & other questions. Tell them they must protect the rights of citizens.

McCain and Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Dean Heller (R-Nev.) are at the top of a list of Republicans considered most likely to sign on to legislation expanding background checks after talks with Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) stalled earlier this month.
