While Manchin said he would support a bill to extend background checks to nearly all private sales, he opposed the House bill, which would require such checks for private gun transfers that do not involve money. Manchin&#8217;s no-vote would deal a blow to gun-control efforts in the evenly divided Senate, enraging Maddow, Hogg, and other activists.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&#8220;The United States Senate does not work in large part because of Democrats like Joe Manchin,&#8221; Maddow&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MaddowBlog\/status\/1374552248152420352\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">said on her show<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&nbsp;Tuesday night.&nbsp;&#8220;He personally will stop the whole country from getting any substantive relief from this thing that plagues us still.&#8221;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&#8220;Eleven senators are more worried about their elections&nbsp;than the&nbsp;next shooting,&#8221; Hogg&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/davidhogg111\/status\/1374676071937941506\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">said<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. &#8220;Blood is on the hands of those who love power more than our children.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Maddow also echoed the&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/guns\/democrats-point-to-gun-legislation-as-justification-for-nuking-filibuster\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">calls of prominent Democrats<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&nbsp;who used the recent mass shooting in Colorado to advocate for the end of the&nbsp;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">filibuster, which requires 60 votes to advance legislation<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">.
