This actually surprised me. Nice to see Graham take this position. Because this bill won't do jack shit to prevent illegal gun violence.
It's just a pathway to a national gun registry. And trust me. A national gun registry just ends up becoming a billion dollar boondoggle.
"South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham announced earlier today that he will vote against the compromise amendment proposed last week by senators Pat Toomey and Joe Manchin, which would expand criminal background checks to all advertised gun sales.
Graham announced his decision on Twitter, arguing that the bill is well-intentioned but does not constitute a solution to illegal gun violence:
The amendment will likely face an uphill battle, and Grahams announcement is a blow to gun-control advocates who had hoped to win him over to their side with this compromise.
