While the overwhelming rejection of<br \/>\nPresident Obama and Mayor Bloomberg&#8217;s &#8220;universal&#8221; background check<br \/>\nagenda is a positive development, we have a broken mental health system<br \/>\nthat is not going to be fixed with more background checks at gun shows.<br \/>\nThe sad truth is that no background check would have prevented the<br \/>\ntragedies in Newtown, Aurora or Tucson. We need a serious and meaningful<br \/>\n solution that addresses crime in cities like Chicago, addresses mental<br \/>\nhealth deficiencies, while at the same time protecting the rights of<br \/>\nthose of us who are not a danger to anyone. President Obama should be as<br \/>\n committed to dealing with the gang problem that is tormenting honest<br \/>\npeople in his hometown as he is to blaming law-abiding gun owners for<br \/>\nthe acts of psychopathic murderers.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/thehill.com\/blogs\/blog-briefing-room\/news\/292949-nra-rejects-deal-on-background-checks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&nbsp;TheHill has a little more on this here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If Senators Toomey and Manchin thought their little attempt at bi-partisan gun control would fly with the NRA, they&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[45,92,701,2041],"class_list":["post-2380","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-gun-control","tag-nra-ila","tag-sen-joe-manchin","tag-sen-pat-toomey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2380","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2380"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2380\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9042,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2380\/revisions\/9042"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2380"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2380"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2380"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
