A possible breakthrough legislative proposal on gun background checks was
met with a mixed response ahead of a key test vote Thursday,
with the White House giving its blessing while some top Republicans and
gun rights groups still voiced concerns.Senate Democrats plowed ahead with
a planned test vote on the sweeping gun control legislation. The so-called
cloture vote is set for 11 a.m. ET Thursday, and a congressional
aide told Fox News that Democrats are likely to reach the 60-vote
threshold needed to proceed toward debate and eventually a final vote. They
will face resistance from more than a dozen Republican senators, including
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who have vowed to try to block the
legislation.A compromise struck between conservative Sens. Joe Manchin,
D-W.Va., and Patrick Toomey, R-Pa., boosted the legislation's chances and
earned praise from President Obama."I applaud Senators Joe Manchin and Pat
Toomey for their leadership on forging a bipartisan agreement around commonsense
background checks that will make it harder for dangerous people to get
their hands on a gun," Obama said in a written statement. "This
is not my bill, and there are aspects of the agreement that
I might prefer to be stronger. But the agreement does represent welcome
and significant bipartisan progress."But Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., echoed
many Republicans in calling it "a good-faith but unworkable plan.""The proposal
will impose new taxes and unreasonable b
urdens on law-abiding citizens.
The agreement also prioritizes collecting records over protecting citizens,"
Coburn said. "This is the wrong approach.Preventing sales to dangerous persons,
not collecting receipts, will save lives."The National Rifle Association
followed up with its own criticism of the proposal."Expanding background
checks at gun shows will not prevent the next shooting, will not
solve violent crime and will not keep our kids safe in schools,"
the NRA said. "The sad truth is that no background check would
have prevented the tragedies in Newtown, Aurora or Tucson."Other Republicans
voiced concern that the legislation being voted on Thursday still included
the older background check measure. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell,
who plans to vote against proceeding on Thursday, said that background check
provision would be a "clear overreach.""The following offenses would now
be federal crimes absent surrendering their firearms and conducting a background
check. Federal offenses: an uncle giving his nephew a hunting rifle for
Christmas; a niece giving her aunt a handgun for protection; a cousin
loaning another cousin his hunting rifle if the loan occurs just one
day before the beginning of hunting season," he said.The Manchin-Toomey
plan would be voted on later as an amendment. Manchin and Toomey
both have received "A" ratings from the NRA, and their endorsements could
make it easier for hesitant colleagues to back th

a move on his business and its 150 employees."I have a very
serious commitment to my employees, which is more than they got from
their state legislators," he said.Malkowski and Scalise said they will meet
with members of Connecticut's congressional delegation next Tuesday and
Wednesday to counter lobbying from gun control advocates.An agreement between
two conservative senators Democrat Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Republican
Patrick Toomey of Pennsylvania was expected to make it likelier that
the Senate's initial vote Thursday to begin debating gun legislation will
succeed. But the fate of gun legislation remains unclear, clouded by opposition
from many Republicans and moderate Democrats in the Democratic-led Senate
and Republican-run House."I have a duty to make sure they hear something
from our side," Malkowski said.
m police and store employees, Hurtado collected
rope and rags from store shelves and put makeshift tourniquets on both
arms, most likely saving the man's life, police said."Were we in a
good place for it? No, but you improvise," Hurtado said. "If I
didn't have rope I'd have used my shoelaces. We would have made
it work."The man was in surgery hours after the incident, said Spl.
Rudy Lopez, from the West Covina police. He knew nothing more of
the mans condition.The man, who looked to be in his 40s, was
carrying no identification, has been unable to answer questions, and was
not heard saying anything in the store, so police do not know
his name or why he cut himself, Lopez said.Police interviewed about five
people who said they saw what happened, and Lopez said there were
likely many more who quickly left the disturbing scene."It was pretty graphic,"
he said. The store was shut down the rest of the day.Click
