        Mental health screenings before purchasing a gun, no gun purchases for anyone with a history of domestic violence would be good as well.

        No, because I've never heard the argument that voting one way or another is a "mental health issue".

        Awesome. So law-abiding citizens will have to go through extended checks while 97% of the criminals will still continue to get their guns through illegal means (as the Department of Justice found that they do). That's stupid change that you can believe in.

        Me either. Ga. Republicans stick together and vote with party instead of interest of the people.

        Your bill literally does nothing but punish law abiding gun owners. It isn't even enforceable.
