GOP to look at federal gun laws

By Mike Lillis - 01/26/11 12:34 PM ET

Staffers from the House Judiciary Committee will meet with Obama administration officials Thursday to examine the effectiveness of federal laws designed to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill, according to a Republican aide with the panel.

The closed-door gathering will focus on whether a federal system of background checks is working to block gun sales to the mentally ill and others barred from owning firearms, the aide said Tuesday. Staffers from both parties will attend, as well as officials from the FBI and possibly the Justice Department, the aide added.

Isn't there already a box to check on the 4473 for someone who is determined to be mentally ill? I am sure everybody who checks the boxes on the form are honest.

By the way, purple text = internet sarcasm.

Great here we go, the republicans will compromise to "save us" from an even worse bill instead of grow a back bone and protect our rights.

When I saw the thread title I was thinking at last we are going to fight back and might get some of our rights back. I knew I was hoping for to much.
