Does the NRA favor keeping guns out of the houses of families that have a resident who is mentally ill? If not...Adam LanzaThe NRA fights efforts to keep guns out of the hands of mass shooters.
Charles Manson killed no one himself.
name one??
The effort to lengthen the amount of time or a background check to be completed for a gun purchase has been fought by the NRA. The effort to close loopholes fought by the NRA. Fighting any gun control measure by the NRA.
I said name one mass shooter they fought to give them gun rights??
that was your claim,,,
Tell that to the ACLU....and the other 23 mental health organizations.......they don't support you either...
Gun Control Laws Should Be Fair
But gun control laws, like any law, should be fair, effective and not based on prejudice or stereotype. This rule met none of those criteria.
In this era of “alternative facts,” we must urge politicians to create laws based on reliable evidence and solid data.
The thousands of Americans whose disability benefits are managed by someone else range from young people with depression and financial inexperience to older adults with Down syndrome needing help with a limited budget. But no data — none — show that these individuals have a propensity for violence in general or gun violence in particular.
To the contrary, studies show that people with mental disabilities are less likely to commit firearm crimes than to be the victimsof violence by others.
--------------------------
The ACLU and 23 national disability groups did not oppose this rule because we want more guns in our community. This is about more than guns.
Adding more innocent Americans to the National Instant Criminal Background database because of a mental disability is a disturbing trend — one that could be applied to voting, parenting or other rights dearer than gun ownership. We opposed it because it would do little to stem gun violence but do much to harm our civil rights.
So....is the ACLU now a terrorist organization?
No.
But they are wrong on this one.
