Surely you recognize that. Regulations and regulators. Someone has to watch over the chicken coop and it surely can't be the foxes.<br /><br />Requiring background checks, nationwide, for people with mental stability and/or criminal history only makes sense.<br /><br />Well, it only makes sense to most of America and the free, educated, intelligent, adult, responsible world, anyway.<br />Mo Ragehttp://moravings.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198792767248747350.post-59423500114240139332017-02-04T22:44:52.696-06:002017-02-04T22:44:52.696-06:00Dodd-Frank says it is regulation protecting us fro...Dodd-Frank says it is regulation protecting us from financial market problems. It does the opposite, it is likely to make the financial market more fragile, it makes it harder for local small banks to compete with megabanks. Deposit insurance should cover only ordinary middle class deposits, the tax system shouldn't favor debt. Let banks decide how they will loan money as long as it is based on sound financial reasons--If every bank has to follow exactly the same policies that makes it more likely that more banks will fail at the same time. Look beyond the title of bills. <br /><br />If this were just people with dangerous conditions who were to be added to the "no guns" list with appropriate due process, then there would be little or no controversy. When the law includes people on social security who sometimes need help managing their finances (like this one did) as "mental defectives" who don't deserve all of the Bill of Rights the (very recent) regulation went too far. There are people who would love to consider any mental health treatment as grounds to remove gun rights, no matter how minor.
