In a new round of grades from the nation's leading gun-rights group, Republican U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey barely passed.
The National Rifle Association gave Toomey, who is facing a tough re-election battle, a "C" in its grades for this year's candidates. That's a downgrade from Toomey's 2010 Senate bid, when he drew an "A" grade and the powerful group's endorsement.
The NRA does not specify which votes or public statements it uses in its ratings, but it opposed Toomey's most well-known action on gun policy: the gun background-check bill he crafted with U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va. |

TO REMEMBER |
| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
