  Toomey-RINO anti gunner
  Here's Senator Toomey's reply to us regarding the anti-gun bill now before Congress:
  July 11, 2014
  Dear Mr.
  Thank you for contacting me about S. 2363, the Bipartisan Sportsmen's Act. I appreciate hearing from you.
  As you may know, Senator Kay Hagen (D-NC) introduced S. 2363 on May 20, 2014. Among its provisions, this legislation would reauthorize numerous conservation programs, such as the North American Wetlands Conservation Program. It would also exempt sport fishing equipment and firearm ammunition subject to federal excise taxes from regulation under the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976.

  After I joined a majority of Senators in agreeing to proceed to the bill, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) refused to allow any votes despite 42 amendments being offered by my colleagues from both sides of the aisle. Unfortunately, due to the lack of substantive debate, I could not support Senator Reid's request to end consideration of the bill.
  S. 2363 remains before the Senate and please be assured that I will keep your views in mind as work continues on sportsmen's issues. 
  Thank you again for your correspondence. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future if I can be of assistance.
Sincerely,
 
Pat Toomey
U.S. Senator, Pennsylvania
