I will be strongly pushing Comprehensive Background Checks with an emphasis on Mental Health. Raise age to 21 and end sale of Bump Stocks! Congress is in a mood to finally do something on this issue - I hope!

Oh boy!
Yes - a few. Wasn’t that song “I hate Mondays” based on a quote from a girl shooter way back when (70’s??). (Her answer on why she shoot up the school.)
Relax , they won’t ... the Repubs and the Dims will push nothing major for the same reason ... mid-terms
The NRA will give the nod and help write any proposals that are being discussed relating to background checks and idiotic bump stocks .. and no ,they aren’t selling out
That's the chess game, just ordinary chess. Not 4-d, that's a red herring. Nor is he tossing the 2A. That's another red herring, although he believes it's ok for him to chip away at it.
With Trump I have learned to just wait and see what actually happens.
Want me to give you a grammar lesson? I won’t charge you a cent.
And, I never said I was an expert on guns.
What I did say is I have absolutely no problem with an age limit of 21 in order to buy a semi automatic weapon.
If you have problem with that, I really don’t give a rat’s ass.
Holy crap yes the i hate mondays girl started the trend!
I think the NRA will be closely working with the admin on these items ...I would rather Trump be doing this , than Obama or Hitlery ... these actually might be good changes that will help prevent these tragedies ...
Who gets to make the decision?
I have absolutely no problem with an age limit of 21 in order to buy a semi automatic weapon.
You wouldn't be proposing trying to "infringe" on a Constitutional Right....would ya n00b?
It can be determined if one has pneumonia (antibiotics for the pneumococcal form) or measles, or epilespsy seizures requiring anti-seizure medication, or a broken arm, or cancer type and stage. But the state and quality of one's mind and emotions iss not so easily measured or predictable. Unless one has been comitted to a mental hospital, or has a criminal record of unlawful behavior (indicating some degree of departing from a tolerable range of actions), leave the background checks alone.
However, since most of the shootings have been a result of alcohol or psychoactive drug intake, make the personal sales to, ownership of, or or personal carrying of dangerous weapons a felony if one's BCA is greater than 0.1% or if ones mentality is dependent on psychoactive medication. That's measurable, quantitatively.
May be worth a thought, I dunno if it would fly. But "psychiatric" evaluation score? No. Don't go there.
That is why the NRA is so vital here in helping with this ...see my post 110
But get a CCDW license and be armed when you go to Mass. The Pilgrims did. So did Jesus' apostles at the Last Supper.
The same people who decide that felons cannot own guns.
Mental health professionals should be required to report anyone who admits to having suicidal tendencies.
You can't ban guns, but I'll bet most parents wouldn't mind seeing a ban on murder-based shoot-em-up video games. Maybe Hollywood movies need a higher standard for violent content....like PG-18.
Hardly a word about looking at the psychotic drugs that virtually all of these shooters are on and that are connected to 20 some vets daily taking their own life.
Wonder why such silence on this?
Not so sure about that. I'd say "suicidal" gives you a definite F.
Ooooh...ooooh! I got one of them thar rifles I snipe deer with all the time. It's a nice .308.
Riot guns?
Hot dog...got one of them too. 12 ga buckshot is a riot to shoot.
/extreme sarcasm (just in case it isn't obvious)
Each year there are more than 40,000 suicides. Half of them are firearm suicides.
