Anyone else curious as to how they absolutely, definitively, KNOW that many guns are acquired this way? Did they do a prison poll?
Mentally ill people = $$$. And, what exactly, qualifies as "enough"? 100 reports? 1100?
Hope none of you folks are on antidepressants, sleep aids or had an imaginary friend as a kid.

Lacking agreement with Coburn, Schumer planned to seek a vote by the Judiciary Committee on a bill resembling a measure he initially proposed two years ago. It would require background checks for nearly all gun sales, with narrow exemptions including one for transactions between close relatives. It would also cut federal aid for states that don't send enough mental health records to the federal background check network — a widespread problem that has fueled critics' complaints that the current system should be fixed before it is expanded.
