Once again Chuck Schumer demonstrates his lack of leadership skills.
you've hit the nail on the head.
"So it won't help all that much because it lacks teeth"
I've got to disagree with you on this point.
A neighbor, family member or anybody else who simply doesn't like you can "report" you. Without ANY evidence or proof of wrongdoing, YOU'VE just been made the bad guy! Try to prove that in fact, you're not. :banghead:
Are you referring to Red Flag laws? First of all, that is not how they work. 19 states have these laws now.
As I inderstand this Senate framework, they are going to offer money to states who want this law, not require it or make it federal law.
A judge determines, based on evidence, if someone loses their weapons due to the threat of violence against themselves or others. There is due process.
Closing the "boyfriend loophole" is another important step that is included in the framework. This makes it unlawful for convicted domestic abusers to get weapons. That will save women's lives.
