Tens of thousands of gun-loving Americans gathered in Nashville, Tennessee, this past weekend for the National Rifle Association’s annual convention. Despite early headlines that claimed attendees would have to leave their guns at home, convention goers were able to bear arms in the conference center—and almost in the city’s public parks. In a nation with nearly as many privately owned guns as there are citizens, even NRA members support laws that block patients with histories of psychiatric commitments from owning guns. But a new study shows that curbing gun violence will require more comprehensive policies than just keeping firearms out of the hands of the mentally ill.

The following 'policy' is comprehensive:
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a Free State, the right to Keep and Bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
How 'bout that, Katie?
Time to repeal all firearms laws nationwide to 2nd ammendment.
They want to violate God-given rights that are protected in the Constitution (the supreme law of the land) - based on a DWI or an unsubstantiated accusation from an angry ex? No, thank you. Trying to do that will bring out a whole lot of angry gun owners. The far left totalitarian fringe should be more cautious.
I'm certainly willing to do more than my share.
No, we don't. We advocate those of us that are NOT mentally ill having the ability to protect ourselves and our families from those that would go off the deep end. I don't have a problem with crazies getting guns, so long as I can fight back. Against all crazies, foreign, domestic and tyrannical.
I've come to the place in life where I am perfectly willing to die protecting my rights. The question is, are they willing to die trying to take them from me?
I’ll support that.
IF I GET THE RIGHT TO PICK WHO THE CRAZIES ARE
Period
I wonder how many Americans over 60 (70?) feel the same. My guess is you're not alone.
Do these twits have a clue as to how many LEO's this would disarm?
Three boxes of Liberty:
Soap Box
Ballot Box
Ammo Box
> The authors suggest that rather than screening potential gun owners based on their mental health history, “gun restrictions based on criminal records of misdemeanor violence, DUI/DWIs, controlled substance crimes, and temporary domestic violence restraining orders could be a more effective

Just foot in the door terminology to appeal to those who don’t have a working brain who don’t have a clue to what their end game is or why
I express my anger at the ballot box.
For those 9 percent of Americans with anger issues, I think they just calculated how many active duty military personnel and veterans, and how many police there are in the US.
Clearly all of them are people with anger issues.
If they passed that law don’t you know the libs would be begging women and their own kind to file domestic vilence charges all over the nation. It would be epidemic. The libs are brainless zombies who match tomthe drone of their Commie overlords not even knowing what they are doing just so they can be a part of something and be accepted by someone, anyone...
If somebody is too “mentally ill” to own a gun, then he’s too crazy to be loose on the streets. Do they think that guns are the only way a berserk crazy can kill lots of people? Do they think that a crazy can’t also do lots of damage with a sword or a bucket of gasoline?
Nope. Only guns are evil methods of offing people. All other methods are apparently A-Ok with these assclowns.

I'm wary of this every time I have to correct my doctor's staff about "why" I take an anti-depressant.
I do NOT have a history of "depression."
Except that angry white "clingers" with CCW aren't the "problem" demographic for firearm homicides. And that demographic is certainly not "young, white males living on the edges of urban areas". The US would have roughly the homicide rate of Norway without the "problem" demographic.
Liberals must live their lives with their heads stuck so far up their **** that they can't hear or see anything at all.
* I am not-so-young but white and I just wrote out the checks for my state and federal taxes so you betcha I have "anger issues" today! Still, everyone is about as safe today as a baby in a Republican mother's womb!
