What happened to the Senator Toomey we thought we knew? :: 04/09/2013

The press now reports Senator Pat Toomey is the top Republican working for a deal to pass Obama's gun control. Not only is Toomey REFUSING to support Senators Rand Paul, Ted Cruz and Mike Lee's filibuster of Obama's gun control package; he's actually working behind the scenes to help Obama PASS new gun control. And his action is critical because a dozen or so weak-kneed Republicans and squishy Democrats wait in the wings, ready to pass this anti-gun nightmare if Toomey will lead the surrender.

No wonder insiders are starting to call Pat Toomey "One Term Toomey" and "Benedict Toomey." While Toomey may try to talk like a conservative, he has a history of compromising away your Second Amendment rights.

• In 2011, he voted AGAINST Senator Rand Paul's amendment to the Patriot Act that would have protected gun owners from warrantless searches.

• He's also supported BANNING private firearms sales at gun shows (Roll Call, H.R. 2122, June 18, 1999).

John, that's not even the part that makes my blood boil. You see, without Pat Toomey and other weak-kneed Republicans trying to compromise with President Obama's gun grabbers in the Senate, Obama's gun control legislation would very likely be dead already. In fact, if Toomey and 40 other Senators stand with Rand Paul and Ted Cruz in the filibuster, Obama's gun control is dead. 100%. But instead of standing firm, Pat Toomey is breathing new life into Barack Obama's gun grab! If that makes you mad, please take five minutes and take action below. Call Toomey's office and give him an earful. Let Senator Toomey know you're disappointed that he's considering selling-out gun owners, and INSIST he support Rand Paul's pro-gun filibuster instead.
