If you want to read the text of the safe communities act (I think that’s what we call it) which was sent to potus desk today, here it is:
https://www.murphy.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/bipartisan_safer_communities_act_text.pdf
After reading it, here’s my unpopular opinion.
It almost seems to have been written by people monitoring this website. I know it wasn’t, but a lot of its content has been suggested here.
- I’ve been saying for a long time that the instant check system needed to be fixed. Many of you have said the same. This takes steps to fix it. I’m glad.
- We say often on here that mental health and not the guns are the bigger problem. This at least throws money at that.
- The most aggressive thing I can see here is waving money in front of states to encourage red flag laws. That’s a state by state situation.
I’m sure others disagree. That is fine.
SCOTUS already ruled in 2021 that Red Flag laws are unconstitutional. I hope someone sues over this portion of the bill.
