He's right though; the majority of Americans, republican and democrats, want some common sense gun control rules:
background checks, regardless of buying online or at a gun show...
people with mental illness shouldn't be allowed to purchase guns...
its their representatives that haven't been able to get this through (due to NRA pressure), even though the majority of their constituents support the above two measures...
i would add:
No silencers, No assault rifles.... i'd also reconsider allowing guns to be purchased by anyone on terrorist watch lists... really does not compute imo...
The latter two are unlikely to happen, and the Silencer relaxation legislation is currently on the docket and was set to be heard this week prior to the LV shooting (delayed previously due to the Scalise shooting in washington).
