NICS additions
Looks like the NICS database for mentally defective expanded from 175K to 400K with the addition of California. I guess that proves there are more crazy people in California than in the rest of the country?
David Hardy: This sorta thing is why I didn’t take umbrage at the bill proposed a while back to change things. It didn’t add anyone to the prohibited persons list. It would have expanded the number of names on the list, but anyone who had been committed but was able to get a firearm because they weren’t on the list would be liable for a felony charge anyway.
Sebastian: I’ve said before that I consider NICS to be a minor infringement, and I’m not certain it’s worth burning political capital to eliminate it in the current political climate.
