Ah, got it. Your answer makes sense.
Not trolling at all. Was a sincere question.
If that’s the case, I’m thinking “mentally-ill with a history of violence” could be a screening factor for background checks. In this case, Mitch should support it.
Mitch needs to explain to the media clearly WHY he opposes mental-illness background screening. Otherwise people like my liberal friend will have the impression that Repubs and the NRA are totally evil.
Well no mr troll - even then that’s not always applicable.
Mentally ill WITH NO CRIME is not a reason to restrict one’s rights in America. How about that?
We all have violent tendencies as humans which are innate in the human condition.
If you want to restrict someone’s rights - be they gun or first amendment or property rights you go through due process where the accused has a right to defend themselves in court.
Not have them taken away like being silenced on twitter because somebody just reported you like a good little apparatchik.
