1.It's unconstitutional.
2.It's a hysterical over reaction.
3.It's fascism. It's the same hysteria that brought us the TSA circus.
4.He also spewed the liberal hooey about violent video games and movies (where are you when we need you, Tipper Gore?).
5.He said something about a "mental health database". You comfortable with that?
His reaction is the flip side of the liberals. Hysterical statism. He is no conservative.
I had read before that the NRA had gone Beltway, but I wasn't prepared for this. I think the GOA is a much better organization (at least politically).
I wouldn't say so. It's more like ju jitsu. Why should schools be supposedly gun free kill zones? Why can't school staff with adequate training and adult students who are veterans in colleges and universities have concealed carry? It's a right at least in Alaska, Arizona, Vermont and Wyoming, except in gun free kill zones.
The mental health angle is more tricky. The left, if they had their druthers, would deny any 2nd Amendment rights to anyone with a DUI. I don't believe any of the Founding Fathers would sell a firearm to the town lunatic.
Bottom line: The NRA did not fold on so called assault weapons or high capacity magazines.
1. do nothing ?
2. arm the kids ?
3. arm the teachers ?
4. ban profiling extending 2nd amendment rights to psychos ?
5. hysterically overreact and attack the NRA for making a suggestion in terms that liberals can understand ?
I firmly believe that this is a state not federal issue This is not in the enumerated powers of the federal gov , but your criticism of the NRA is like shooting the dog for not killing the cat when he scratched up the sofa
