    Rhode Island establishes a new "red flag" policy on guns with an executive order that will help keep guns away from people who "could pose significant threats to public safety." http://abcn.ws/2CnzY5o pic.twitter.com/OKez1JdoJs

        I've looked extensively and cannot find the story I saw at 5am of a store in New Hampshire that is refusing service to Republicans ... The read was hilarious when asked how can you tell?Store owner said if you look like a constipated hateful angry EVIL person with negative energy

        Who determines " The Red Flag"? Unless a person has a Mental Illness or a criminal past, this crosses the line & goes against the 2nd Amendment! There can only be those reasons someone cannot own a gun. This gives too much power to the State & goes against the 2nd Amendment!

        So we should allow children to be murdered because of an outdated law... if someone is making threats we take their guns away.

        This policy will help unless people think our problem is largely caused by the mentally ill. They are only scapegoats, shouldn't be target

        As long as we keep trying to blame the mentally ill for gun violence, we will fail to do anything to really help stop it.

        President Trump, who really only likes white men, is prejudiced against those with mental illness, too. This in spite of clear evidence.

        And just remember, it is not mentally ill people who cause the most trouble. Statistics show that clearly. Don't try to blame them.

        German gun model: Gun safety training with test, psychiatric evaluation, waiting period, license by weapon. 1/10 the gun homicide rate we have. No one was ever shot where a gun wasn’t present. We need meaningful laws to keep guns away from the mentally ill.

        so far everything I'm hearing about more laws on guns is time wasting the laws are already in the books.but law breakers don't follow laws so I believe law enforcement is the problem,but law enforcement can't do their jobs because law suits,and job loss.

        Come on idiots, FBI failed, police failed, Social Services failed, no law or policy would have changed that. By the way how's that war on drugs going? If people followed the rules there would be no crime, but until keep up the stupid.
