Re: Gun control debate
That's where it seems you are wrong.
Long cliff notes for B:
"The executive actions are designed to curb violence from a number of different angles. The most important initiative is the administration's attempt at closing the notorious "gun show loophole": a gap in current law that allows guns to be purchased from private vendors at gun shows and online without the purchaser being subjected to a background check.
"It doesn't matter where you conduct your business: from a store, at gun shows or over the internet. If you're in the business of selling firearms, you must get a license and conduct background checks," the White House said in a statement emailed Monday night, outlining the policy.
The executive actions also call for a $500 million investment to improve access to mental health services, as well as changes to bureaucratic rules that impede the ability of the current national background check system to tap into databases that track people who are banned from obtaining firearms for specific mental health reasons.
Moreover, the White House announced additional funding for enforcing gun laws through the the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The FBI will also be overhauling the background check system to make it more efficient and hiring more than 200 new examiners and staff to help manage that process."
I see nothing wrong with these changes. Not sure why you would. Mental health care in this country is lacking in a major way. Its going to be hard to tackle that part, but this is a step in the right direction. Like I said before, nothing is really changing for existing gun owners or potential buyers who are "law abiding" as you say.
By the way Im not a liberal either. This just makes sense all around.
