If they're law abiding, they'll pass the background check, just as they do now. What the NRA wants is a completely open system with no #regulations or #restrictions. They want this because it maximizes #gun purchases, and at the end of the day, the NRA is primarily a #lobbying group for the gun #manufacturers. It's all about maximizing #profits.

I realize many genes, described as such, are in fact complex or polygenic (which is why I used air-quotes), but still tested for. One of the reasons I started asking this question is that I grew tired of hearing #ThoughtsAndPrayers , #EnoughIsEnough and #NeverAgain , but nothing being done to address #RootCauses. One more question, if you'll endure it, suppose there was a #DeplorableGene risk factor; add it #BackgroundChecks for #AssaultWeapons ?

What they haven't been busy doing is anything that will help to stop the murder of our children by people who should have never been able to buy a gun in first place. #backgroundchecks

They will also be wrong, incomplete, misleading.
A human MUST, ALWAYS, interview other humans for a background check to be valid. Always.

"Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed two gun safety bills into law Thursday, requiring universal background checks for all gun sales and the safe storage of firearms and ammunition in homes.
The legislation comes after a gunman opened fire at two locations on Michigan State University's main campus in East Lansing in February, shooting eight students, three fatally. After an hourslong manhunt, police found the suspect -- identified as 43-year-old Anthony McRae -- dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound off campus."

Despite a history of problems and a parent who believed she was a danger.
So Republicans, tell us that red flag laws and mandatory background checks would not have stopped this?
Tell us the inconvenience to law abiding mentally stable gun owners of mandatory background checks is too high a price to pay to stop children from being murdered in school?
