Peter King promises House version of Manchin-Toomey by Tuesday

POSTED AT 12:41 PM ON APRIL 12, 2013 BY ED MORRISSEY

Most people assumed that anything truly problematic in new gun-control legislation that comes out of the Senate would have little chance of getting through the House. Looks like we’ll get a chance to test that hypothesis sooner rather than later. Rep. Peter King (R-NY) told Politico today that he and Mike Thompson (D-CA) will introduce the House version of Manchin-Toomey by Tuesday at the latest:

Reps. Peter King and Mike Thompson are planning to introduce a House version of the compromise on background checks for gun buyers on Monday or Tuesday, King told POLITICO exclusively on Friday.

“I will be introducing, along with Mike Thompson [D-Calif.], basically the House version of the Manchin-Toomey bill on Monday or Tuesday at the latest,” the New York Republican said, referencing the bipartisan agreement on background checks reached this week between Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.).

He said the legislation will “replicate” what was agreed to by those senators, a bipartisan deal that expands background checks for commercial gun purchases, including those made at gun shows.

Will this go anywhere in the House? King believes that it will draw “significant support among Republicans,” which if true means it should pass easily — assuming it gets out of committee. Any such bill would have to go through the House Judiciary Committee, currently chaired by Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA).

Maybe Goodlatte will stop this? Let's hope so.

There he is Peter King, former chairman and current member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, and member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. How's that for an oxymoron?
