Gun laws and other hotbed topics are so sensitive, most legislatures don't want to risk their career over it....[/quote]


Being a elected official should never be a career in the first place.

AMEN! That -- right there is a HUGE part of the problem. The biggest concern about politicians in Washington is how to STAY in office in Washington.

Heard an ad on Cities97 asking folks to call in support of this bill.
Bloomberg money in action?
This is gonna be a fight.

I just did some digging in the case they talk about:

During the investigation, police learned about Inselman's longtime obsession with Struck, according to the criminal complaint. Police couldn't establish that he had initiated any direct contact with her since their breakup in 2004.
"I've never seen a pattern of stalking like this in my years of law enforcement," Gannon said.

I wonder how a background check would have stopped someone obsessed with carrying something out. Another example of how the mental health system in this country need work.
