Re: House strikes down law re: mentally ill buying guns
Isn't that just fantastic. 
Side question: How reliable is The Hill?

Yeah, I've read a few articles from them this week, and I'm not sure about if they are too far left or not. I try to stay away from the Occupy Democrats stuff, so that's why I ask.

I thought they're left leaning but a chart I found says it's conservative leaning and analytical.

The Hill is supposed to be reliable. Congress, not so much.

When are we going to wake up and realize that gun control is NOT going to happen in this country?

Re: House strikes down law re: mentally ill buying guns
What I don't get is, everytime the gun discussion comes up, republicans say no to gun control laws but then talk about how mental health should be addressed. It's standard rhetoric regarding this topic at this point. So, wtf! How does this help the argument?

Because that was their excuse. If they were so concerned with mental health, they wouldn't keep trying to repeal the ACA. Now there's no one to stop them so they're just intent on destroying everything that makes sense.

Well there's one campaign promise a Trump kept: he's not touching the issue of gun control. This is just ridiculous

I read this on a few news outlets yesterday. And no kidding. I had to read it at least 3 times to make sure I was reading it correctly.
I do not understand this at all

We will never had meaningful gun control because the Repubs are bought by the NRA. They had the Repubs put the fear of God in everyone that Obama was coming for their guns so people would keep buying them before that happened

Re: House strikes down law re: mentally ill buying guns
I was listening to CNN this morning on my way into work. They were interviewing Senator Barrasso, a republican from Wyoming about this issue. Alisyn Camerota point blank asked him "Do you think that those receiving disability payments for severe mental issues should be allowed to get guns?" This idiot kept dodging the question. Totally refused to answer. All he kept repeating was blah blah blah Constitution....blah blah blah Constitution. I really can't with these people!!!!!

Re: House strikes down law re: mentally ill buying guns
These mentally ill people include those that require a guardian because they can't care or think for themselves, but the GOP thinks they have the mental stability to have a gun!

You know what the kicker is about this? The Constitution is a living document, it's meant to be amended!!! When it was written psychos didn't get semi automatic weapons and shoot up schools and movie theaters. It SHOULD be changed to reflect how the country has changed
Now only if republicans can ever understand that

Re: House strikes down law re: mentally ill buying guns
I have to agree with you ladies on this one. I agree, if you are mentally unstable, you should not be allowed to own a gun.

And the wrecking ball continues to do its damage. I don't know how is this supposed to be good for Americans?
The Sandy Hook incidence comes to mind.....

People on the terror watch list can still get guns, so this doesn't surprise me in the least.
