[QUOTE="jstaylor62, post: 2298599, member: 6870"] Why don't people understand this simple concept?!?! Expanding background checks will not keep crazy people from passing those background checks and buying guns legally. Something has to change in how people with mental health issues are flagged and prevented from buying guns. I dont know what that needs to be done. I would like to hear intelligent people debate both sides of the issue so I can understand the potential problems. BUT NOBODY WILL DEBATE LET ALONE DISCUSS THIS ISSUE!
