lso killed.Manchin, a red-state Democrat working with
blue-state Republican Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, is trying to broker
a deal that would expand criminal and mental health background checks by
pressuring states to share data on prohibited purchasers and to include
sales that take place through a commercial enterprise.An individual could
sell another individual a gun without a background check, but if a
commercial entity is involved hosting a gun show or an Internet
site mandatory checks would be required. Even as gun control proponents
bemoan the deal as watered down, gun rights groups remain worried that
the legislation could be altered to create a federal firearms registry.
The Manchin-Toomey plan forbids the creation of such a list, but conservatives
hold little trust when it is the Obama Justice Department that is
doing the enforcement.But even if Manchin-Toomey somehow survives the Senate

manufacturers said they are considering relocation offers from other states.Manufacturers
also plan to lobby the state's congressional delegation next week "to make
sure they hear from our side," said Mark Malkowski, president of Stag
Arms in New Britain.Bristol-based PTR said in a statement posted on its
website that it has not decided where it will move, but has
commitments from most employees to relocate. The company makes military-style
rifles and employs more than 40 people. PTR Vice President John McNamara
said the company expects to make a more formal announcement about a
move within six weeks."Along with other companies in the trade, we were
deeply apprehensive at the hurried process to develop new gun laws and
fearful that it would generate unintended consequences for our industry,"
the company said.With the legislation signed into law by Gov. Dannel P.
Malloy on April 4, "our worst fears were confirmed," the company said.
"What emerged was a bill fraught with ambiguous definitions, insufficient
considerations for the trade, conflicting mandates and disastrous consequences
