Post VT Tragedy Legislation

Fox news reports on the ongoing effort to tighten loopholes in the NICS system.

Lets see if Democrats can deal with this one gun control issue which most Americans support, without trying to insert useless gun control provisions just to score points with their buddies on the left.

They would be smart to meet the NRA and GOA concern's head on and deal with just the mental health records issue.

On the issue of stigmatizing those who have been in the mental health system, surely some compromises need to be made to address the reality that people to get better, but these details can be worked out. For example; certification from a mental health board, professional etc., that the individual is free of problems and has been cured and remained so for a period of five years since the mental illness confinement.

Fixing the mental health records reporting issue is a win-win for gun owners, but lets do it right.
