“A bipartisan group of senators has struck a deal to expand gun background checks to all commercial sales — whether at gun shows, via the Internet or in any circumstance involving paid advertising, according to Senate aides familiar with the talks. The law would not cover private transactions between individuals, unless there was advertising or an online service involved.”

But this isn’t the worst of it:

“The agreement should secure enough bipartisan support to allow the Senate to launch debate on an overarching bill that would expand background checks, make gun trafficking a federal crime for the first time and bolster federal funding for school security plans.”

“Advertising or online service involved” is a very telling phrase. This means if you place an ad on Craigslist or through an online gun broker, you are required to run a background check on any buyer. It’s this kind of “guilty until proven innocent” mentality that has Americans skeptical of any gun legislation being considered by Congress.

The Senate is planning on voting for cloture tomorrow, and the bill appears to have a lot of Republican support, including bill cosponsors Senator Mark Kirk (R-IL) and Senator Pat Toomey (R-PA).

It is urgent for all Tea Party Patriots to call their Senators and tell them to notpass this new gun grab, which could easily head towards an even greater threat to our constitutional rights. Head to this link and let them know you DON’T want them taking your guns. Call your Senators today, so they know the consequences of voting for cloture tomorrow.

Your voice is important. Make sure it’s heard!
