Jeff Flake (R-AZ) in 2018 if Flake doesn&#8217;t vote for gun control.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<i>Kelly was reacting to Flake&#8217;s announcement &#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/JeffFlake1?ref=stream\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">posted Monday night on the senator&#8217;s Facebook page<\/a> &#8212; that he will oppose a bill by conservative Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Pat Toomey, R-Penn., that would expand background checks to include people attempting to buy firearms from private individuals at gun shows or on the Internet. The bill is being offered as a compromise to amend a bill with a more sweeping background check requirement.<\/p>\n<p>But Flake said on his Facebook page that he believes the bill would still go too far.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Manchin-Toomey would expand background checks far beyond commercial sales to include almost all private transfers &#8212; including between friends and neighbors &#8212; if the posting or display of the ad for a firearm was made public,&#8221; Flake said in his posting. &#8220;It would likely even extend to message boards, like the one in an office kitchen. This simply goes too far.&#8221;<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Kelly still thinks he can persuade Flake to come around on the Manchin-Toomey amendment &#8220;when I talk to him about why his concerns are unfounded.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If that doesn&#8217;t work, then maybe the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mark_Kelly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Orange, New Jersey native<\/a> will threaten to hold his breathe and stomp his feet to get his way. For some reason I think that is destined to failure as well.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In one of the more amusing news stories today, Mark Kelly, gun control advocate and husband of Gabby Giffords,&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":2,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[45,1860,490,3136],"class_list":["post-2362","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-gun-control","tag-manchin-toomey","tag-mark-kelly","tag-sen-jeff-flake"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2362","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2362"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2362\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9060,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2362\/revisions\/9060"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2362"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2362"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2362"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
