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 
and passes the House, it would not prevent the next Newtown. Or 
the next Aurora. Or the next Tucson. Or the next Blacksburg. All 
of the weapons said to be involved in those mass killings were 
legally purchased from gun merchants and subject to full federal background 
checks.And while gun control advocates can be happy that the expanded system 
may mean fewer gun sales, theres little reason to think that Manchin-Toomey 
would do much to help the problem of greatest concern in the 
Democratic Party: street crime. As the urban party, Democrat
Controversial gun legislation cleared a key Senate hurdle Thursday, as lawmakers 
voted 68-31 to start debate on the package which includes expanded background 
checks and new penalties for gun trafficking.Senate Democrats, joined by 
16 Republicans, were able to overcome an attempted filibuster by GOP senators 
opposed to the current bill. Those senators could still slow-walk the debate, 
but the Senate will eventually begin votes on amendments -- one of 
which is considered crucial to winning support for a final vote.The White 
House called Thursday's tally an "important" but "early milestone," as both 
sides of the issue prepare for a grueling debate -- one that 
is being waged in Washington and on the airwaves. The amendment likely 
to be at the front of the line is one from Sens. 
Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Pat Toomey, R-Pa., which would scale back the 
call for universal background checks. The plan would expand checks to gun-show 
and Internet sales, but exempt certain personal transactions.The National 
Rifle Association and other gun-rights supporters voiced concern about the 
new proposal, saying it still goes too far. But the plan, offered 
by two lawmakers who are at the conservative end of their respective 
parties, could help ease opposition ahead of a final vote.The legislation 
required at least 60 votes to advance Thursday.If the bill ultimately passes 
the Senate, it would still have to pass the Republican-dominated House."The
