I sure could support a concerted effort to get mentally disturbed individuals into the background check database. I can’t believe so many never make it in, allowing them to buy guns.
The media intentionally conflates two separate issues. Everyone, including the NRA and GOA, agrees that convicted felons and those adjudicated as mentally incompetent should not be able to purchase firearms or have access to them. The President supports measures that will make it possible to enforce this existing laws.
This is completely separate from the liberal agenda of restricting the right of everyone else (i.e. non-criminals of sound mind) to keep and bear arms of their choice. The media strategy is a bait and switch - making sensible people think they're talking about the first when they're really talking about the latter.
“I sure could support a concerted effort to get mentally disturbed individuals into the background check database. I can’t believe so many never make it in, allowing them to buy guns.”
The term “mentally disturbed” is as well defined as the term “assault weapon”. It’s kind of like pornography: I know it when I see it.
We’ll need some criteria for “mentally disturbed” and the opinions of anti-gun, pro control mental health “experts” won’t cut it.
Be careful here. It sounds good, but don't forget Obummers VA trying to say vets with PTSD should not possess weapons. They also tried to say all vets that had be en deployed suffered PTSD.
Wait until the definition of Mentally Disturbed includes Trannies.
Can’t think of a more Mentally Disturbed group of People, except for Democrats and Liberals.

Mentally disturbed is exactly what our Deep State handlers want.
Those people are used to get assassinations done.
Remember Loughner down in Tucson that took out the judge that was getting in Obama’s way?
They catalog them for future use.
