Tapsearch Com EditorAnn Coulter on guns

This is what turns people off to gun nuts:
The fact of the matter is that the killer passed a background check. If the proper mental health information had been in the database, he wouldn't have gotten a gun. Would he have gotten one illegally? Perhaps. But arguing that unstable people should be outright allowed firearms is simply absurd, as pro-gun as I am.

Democrats are promoting a mental health exception to the right to bear arms. We've banned mass murder and that hasn't seemed to work. So now we're going to ban mass murderers. Yes, that will do the trick!
This is a feel-good measure that is both wildly under-inclusive (the vast majority of nutcases receive no formal court adjudication of their nuttiness) and wildly over-inclusive (the vast majority of nuts don't kill people).
