Re: Graham introduces background check bill with NRA backing

Do nothing shouldn't be an option. But any option that would reduce availability or create more hoops for those that aren't the problem isn't the answer.

I haven't been impressed with anything coming from the NRA so far.

How about demanding federal prosecution for felons in possession or attempting to obtain firearms.
How about increasing penalties for ALL crimes of violence so we can get bad guys off the street and keep them off the street.
If we have to offer up something, how about offering to take the 10% excise tax that already exists on guns and ammo and putting it towards mental health, better school security.

Were it up to me, the NRA should have simply come out on day 1 and simply said: "Evil people do evil things, crazy people do crazy things. We will support actions that address those two groups. Legal gun owners generally fall into neither group and we will oppose any actions that would only effect them. We are currently not enforcing current gun laws (cite examples). We will oppose any new legislation along those lines until the laws already on the books are enforced."
