NRA President calls for better gun background check system
So I was actually quite surprised reading this, but it turns out that the president of the NRA [i]does[/i] want background checks to take mental illness into account.
[quote]"The outrage ought to be placed on an unprotected naval base, on a criminal justice system ... that doesn't even enforce the federal gun laws when we could dramatically cut violence, on a mental health system that is completely broken, on a check system that is a complete joke in terms of stopping the bad guys.
[/quote]
So why didn't I hear about this on liberal news sites? You'd think they'd want people to know that the NRA is willing to pass some gun laws...
(to be clear, MSNBC did have an article on it, but they focused on the part where he says that armed guards should have been at the base, since it's a government facility)
Thoughts?

As a gun owner and someone who believes in gun ownership, I agree with this and I'm sure many of the other gun owners would agree as well. It's only the people who continue to blame the firearm itself that are morons. For whatever reason, they fail to comprehend that a gun does not kill anyone, it's people that kill other people and the mass shootings are all caused by people with mental illness. Every single person that caused a mass shooting all were flagged by the police, friends, family or people the shooter worked with, or have records of mental illness in the past. It's the fault of the liberal mainstream media that has been successfully brainwashing people with garbage info, claiming that guns are the problem and in no way is it a person making his/her own decision.
