Of Course Lanza, Roof, Johnson, Mateen, and the like had mental issues.
We don't need to stigmatize people that suffer from mental health problems, but we don';t need them to have access to firearms either.
Fix existing background checks so states can't block informatrion that would be entered into NICS.
My biggest issues on Red Flag and what make walk away from compromise here is that I believe it will just be a stepping stone for the Anti2A folks - you know, the ones that don't want to take your guns but want to ban them, tax them higher, ban ammunition, do this and do that, and then confiscate them (Wayne says they don't, BS).
If a Red Flag was passed, based on how previous big legislation is all screwed up, what loopholes will there be to classify large swaths of people as mentally ill (he voted for Trump, must be unwell, she listens to rap, must be unwell, Timmy thinks there should be less government, he must be unwell).
There needs to be clearly defined rules about how due process is handled, sunsets, unbiased arbitration between parties.
