Which is opposite of what's happening in countries with strict gun control.

You wouldn't think so with the constant 24/7 media coverage and outlier stories like this latest shooting being all you hear about.

Agreed. Fear mongering at its finest.

A constitutional right shouldnt be predicated on a mental health screen.

I would think that an organization that prides itself in standing up for legal gun owners would make this a priority to help prevent the crazies from getting guns and harming people.

So 1 person shoots 7 people in CA this weekend and the gun laws need to be changed. 19 are shot in Orleans this weekend by multiple shooters and nothing in the national news. Killings in the inner cities have become so common it's seldom reported by the national media........it's the rule.........mass shootings are the exception and receive more attention.

If murder by gun is the problem why not focus the solution in the biggest problem areas? I am willing to guess the reason the stricter gun law enthusiasts don't is because most, if not all, of the guns used in the inner city crimes were NOT legally purchased. Therefore, no new gun law would solve the problem.

According to the Odummy Administration, every conservative and every former soldier would be listed as "mentally unstable". And, if you don't think this SCUMBAG would issue an Executive Order saying JUST THIS, then you clearly have mental issues of your own - of course, they're more of the mentally challenged variety.
