Just When You Thought USian Politics Couldn't Get Any Nuttier

Just When You Thought USian Politics Couldn't Get Any Nuttier
US House To Allow Mentally Ill To Buy Guns

I've made my position on privately-owned handguns pretty clear on these boards - but can ANY reasonable person see this as a good idea?

What the actual fuck? I need to read into this in more detail because I can hardly believe this. Are they really this stupid?

Yes, or rather, so ideologically pure that it interferes with discerning bad ideas from good. Oh, but I repeat myself.

I didn't expect that...

Also, what is your position on privately owned handguns?

I'm personally for it, but with appropriate restrictions. People who are obviously dangerous should not have access to them. People with felonies and/or severe mental illnesses are two of the obvious groups who should not legally have firearms.

I agree with that, more or less.

It should be a case by case basis when it comes to the felons and the mentally ill in my opinion.

I'd like to see them eliminated entirely. Since that's clearly not about to happen, I'm reasonably happy with the current restrictions we have here.

Why the hell was the Social Security Administration tasked with that?

Having a masturbatory regulatory environment vomiting forth non sequiturs (read that as low hanging fruit) like that INVITES the pubs to do something.

And again, did the dems do anything TODAY to advance election odds in 2018 ??

All together now:

Fuck No !!
