Done.
This question is only as simple as your definition of "mentally ill", and by extension who else gets to define the term and when.
Alright, duly noted that you are alright with convicted felons and mentally ill people owning firearms. Of course, like me you are an attorney and you know where I am headed with those two questions and I would bet that neither of those answers would pass a polygraph.
Personally, I cannot support mentally ill people having firearms. I'm alright with convicted felons having firearms once they are released from prison. I'm fine with them having firearms even if they are on probation/parole.
If it were up to me, we would make NICS only report on those that have psychiatric problems and there would be universal background checks throughout the nation. We would also shore up NICS such that all states would keep good data on the mentally ill and report that data to NICS. Other than that, firearms for everybody.
It isn't my definition of "mentally ill" but the legal definition of mentally ill that is currently in place that prevents mentally ill people from possessing firearms, or at least it should prevent mentally ill people from possessing firearms.
I am shocked that you do not know the current definition of "mentally ill" that would prevent a person from possessing a firearm.
So....
How many people that have posted in this thread have started to contact their Delegate(s)?
How many have shared with on any social media platform at all to get their friends to do the same??
So far, I haven't seen one post saying "Done".
What I have seen, is a bunch of supposedly grown adults acting like kindergardeners. So let me ask, in mt best House Judiciary voice....ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR EVERLOVIN' FREAKIN MINDS. You ALL NEED A FREAKIN' TIME OUT. KNOCK IT OFF AND GET ON WITH THE BUSINESS OF MAKING THE DELEGATES IN ANNAPOLIS LIVES MISERABLE.
If you want to make each other miserable, then wait the frack until after the session is over and I will happily rent a tactical air sift location and you can take it out on each other until your hearts contenet. Until then, knock off the petty BS and get to work helping to work to prevent these bills from passing.
Took care of mine last night. Thing is, I'm not really opposed to this bill in its current form. About the only issue I have with this the way it is, is with loaning a firearm to a friend so he can use it at the range or while hunting, and there is nothing that covers him transporting it from my house to the range/hunting ground. If he gets into a severe auto accident between my house and the range/blind, he might be in some serious legal trouble because of the gun and I might be too. That is really my only gripe with this bill. The more I think about it, the more I am alright with universal background checks.
Either NICS is good or it is bad. If everybody should be able to buy a firearm without a a background check, then this is a bad law. If NICS is good, then with a tweak here and there, this is a good thing in my eyes.
Maybe we just need more FFL's out there to handle the additional demand for transfers, making it more convenient and lower cost for the transferor/transferee.
I am all ears and eyes as to why this bill, in its current form, is bad. Give me a good argument to send to my legislators on this bill other than what I already mentioned about going to and from the range/blind and I will send it to my legislators, my family, and my friends.
Amen. What are we going to loan each other? We need to get together and peak in each others safes.
Two simple yes/no questions for you and we can go from there.
Are you alright with the mentally ill having firearms?
Are you alright with convicted felons having firearms?
Answer those two questions, and then we can continue the discussion.

Thought of something else. Just like we never hear about the robberies and murders prevented because somebody has a gun on them and the perpetrator backs down, we would NEVER hear any mass murder prevented because somebody failed a NICS check. We would never even know that the person failed a NICS check unless he/she obtains a firearm in a different manner and commits the deed, and then the failed NICS check comes up later on.
Are we for the NICS system or not? If we aren't we should try scrapping it at the national level. If we are for it, which at this very moment I am, I would like to see the definition of prohibited person dealt with a little better. If people still believe that convicted felons should not have access to firearms, then maybe we should narrow the list down to convicted VIOLENT felons. Granted, this is a discussion for another day and on a national level, but I just don't see how somebody caught in a check kiting fraud, that amounts to a felony, would be any more dangerous because they own a firearm.

Why don’t you start your own thread on how much you like this bill and why, but please for the love of God stop crapping in this one.

The Moms Demand Action folks are on Everytown’s board. I think you’re lost...
Please Mods, any blessed relief from this jazz hands stuff?
Meanwhile we are at the Statehouse and the Democrats have reserved a whole section of the House gallery for the 15-20 MOMs Demanding Action attending...
Our side cannot let up!
The Minority Leader (Del Nic Kipke) asked for more time to review the changed bill and to allow time for potential amendments (which occur during 2nd Reader debate). Hence the bill has been placed on the "Special Order" calendar for tomorrow.
Keep communicating your concerns with your Delegates, folks.

I'm sure that Emo Jen and the rest of the gals would value his missives over on the Marylanders to Prevent Gun Ownership forum.
I thought I was on the Mom's Demand Action Facebook group for a second.
It's unbelievable.
