[QUOTE="redleghunter, post: 72354283, member: 348895"] Yes the NRA is a pro 2nd Amendment political action group. It used to be just a gun owners club but that was a very long time ago even before my birth. So long time ago. As much as the right and libertarians are entrenched in the 2nd Amendment, the left and libertarians are entrenched in the 4th Amendment which protects against illegal searches and protects individual privacy. I'm sure you have heard the more liberal politicians say "government should not be peeking into our bedrooms to involve themselves in our sex lives." Same are saying government has no right to peek into our medical and psychological records. Yet they advocate police coming to our homes to check to see how many weapons we have. But I digress. I'm not too sure even classical conservatives (not neo cons) are all to happy about legislation which puts currently law abiding citizens without prior convictions being interrogated to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights. Most people who are under psychiatric care just don't go out and mass kill people. Nor do most law abiding gun owners. That is the political impasse here in the US. Both sides agree on one point. Law abiding citizens should not be punished and have their rights restricted based on the actions of the few. The mental health one seems like a no brainer. So does tightening up background checks. American legislators will propose both if not more. Watch which ones who won't budge. My Texas US senator proposed stricter background checks back in 2015. He's a conservative. Maybe based on that we might get movement this time. [/QUOTE]
