That I talk to once in a while was there last night. He is a fairly liberal D and I am a conservative R...but we are both gun owners and shooters (he owns over 25 guns) so we have some things in common. All in all he is a pretty nice guy.
So last night we start talking about the universal background check deal proposed and he says it is really important that the govt. is able to screen mentally ill people from buying/possessing guns. He further goes onto the CHL topic and says it s really important to screen those applicants as well because he has an immediate female relative who is manic depressive and is on medication has been hospitalized and has a CHL and several firearms...
Ok so I said "she must have lied on the 4473 and CHL application right?" and he replies "Of course".
So, now I am shocked out of my mind. I asked him if he had considered intervening in any fashion to prevent her from shooting herself or someone else. He became real agitated and told me to get lost.
Ok so like am I living in "Pollyannaville" or is this the stuff crazy mass shootings are made of?
