Republicans Looking at Mental Health Issues for Gun Bill

It is highly unlikely there will be any real or significant changes in gun laws going forward, as there is little political capital - if any - for Republicans to lose if they continue to rightly oppose background checks at gun shows and limits on so-called assault rifles, which are very seldom used in homicides in America.

Republicans are rather looking at mental health issues surrounding gun control, one that the majority of people and lawmakers could probably support, depending on how it would be worded.

While being suppressed, there is strong evidence the majority of multiple deaths from guns has come from young men on strong medication, which restrictions could actually help to eliminate some of those.

The real problem is guns don't kill people, and it's what's inside of certain people that results in murders, no matter what the chosen weapon of choice may be.

By far the best way to limit murders in public areas is to have trained and armed personnel on hand to deal with the potential murderer.

Gun restrictions of any type only work for those already not likely to harm anyone using a gun as a weapon, as evidenced by the ability of criminals and sick people to steal or buy them at will.

Only trained and armed people can deal with the situation on the ground as it emerges, and they will continue to happen no matter what gun control laws would be put into place.

Is Senate Bill for Background Checks at Gun Shows a Joke?

 

If you were to believe the corrupt mainstream media, the Senate bill which would mandate
background checks at gun shows is a giant step that is a big game-changer in regard to gun control.

The problem? It probably has no chance whatsoever of passing the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, which means all of this absurd coverage of the bill is political theater generated to placate second amendment opponents.

It is also an attempt to manipulate some clueless politicians that there is a groundswell of support for background checks, when if fact Americans are far more concerned about things like the weak economy and their financial future.

Also a factor is the media don't want Americans to understand that all of this is pretty much a joke, so media continue to cover the Senate vote as if it has some meaning, when it has little importance at all.

There is no doubt this bill is highly unlikely to go anywhere in the House. About all it's doing is increasing the demand for guns and ammo, which is pushing up the price of both.

As for Senator Pat Toomey, who has foolishly come out in support of the bill, his days could be numbered, as he has formerly received an "A" rating from the NRA. The next time ratings are released by the NRA, Toomey should receive a failing grade.
