Pat Toomey (R-PA) thought he&#8217;d gain by entering <a href=\"http:\/\/nbcpolitics.nbcnews.com\/_news\/2013\/04\/09\/17676353-senators-to-announce-background-check-deal?lite\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">backroom discussions on gun control with Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV)<\/a>. Gun control legislation was dying in the Senate because red-state Democrats up for re-election in 2014 were mortally afraid of it. Toomey&#8217;s move gives them more than a bit of cover. <\/p>\n<p>\nI&#8217;ll be in client meetings when Toomey and Manchin have their press conference at 11 am this morning. However, Sebastian and Bitter have been doing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pagunblog.com\/2013\/04\/09\/why-some-gun-owners-wont-be-happy-with-pat-toomey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a great job<\/a> of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pagunblog.com\/2013\/04\/09\/pat-toomey-needs-to-be-reminded-who-put-him-in-office\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reporting<\/a> on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pagunblog.com\/2013\/04\/09\/one-hour-to-gun-control\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Toomey&#8217;s<\/a> efforts.
