Manchin, McCain To Introduce Bill To Create Mass Violence Commission
Source: TPM
PEMA LEVY 11:29 AM EST, SUNDAY JANUARY 13, 2013 Sens. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and John McCain (R-AZ) are teaming up to introduce a bill to create a commission on mass violence, Manchin announced on ABC's "This Week" Sunday. "I have linked up with and I will be with John McCain introducing a bill that Joe Lieberman, our dear friend, has been championing for a long time, which basically puts a commission about mass violence together," Manchin said. "You bring experts from all different fields. You bring people such as myself that are NRA members that have been sportsmen all of our lives, and look for a commonsense approach to how we change the culture of violence in America. And that's what needs to be done."

This 100% smoke screen to do anything but talk about "the guns"
the known fact that with the more guns we have and the more high capacity magazines we have the more gun deaths we have had and are going to have.  |
