Romney signals he's open to bipartisan background check bill
The Hill, Sep 9, 2019
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) said Monday that he believes all commercial gun sales should be subject to a background check and signaled he's open to supporting bipartisan legislation from Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.).
"It certainly should be applied to commercial sales and finding a more comprehensive way to make sure that people are in the system that ought to be in the system," Romney told reporters when asked about expanding background checks.
Asked if he would support legislation from Manchin and Toomey, which would expand gun background checks to all commercial sales, Romney said he had spoken with Toomey and was reviewing the bill.
"I'm looking at that. ... Directionally, that is something I would support, but I have not read the legislation. That is something I would have to look at before I signed on," Romney added.

I want some reporter to ask these background check advocates which shooting in the last 10-15 years would have been stopped with enhanced background checks.
-
I'd like to hear a single talking head say that we already have background checks.

Unsurprising. Romney would vote for full confiscation, given the chance. Once a Governor from Massachusetts, always a Governor from Massachusetts.

What a phony, opportunistic piece of crap the 'republican' Romney is. How is it Utah can tolerate him?
I really, really dislike this clown.
