More than 90% of Americans support universal background checks.
My research last year shows that red flag laws could save thousands of lives. And Congress passed bipartisan legislation incentivizing such red flag laws. Now Tennessee GOP Governor Bill Lee is supporting such measures in his state. A Fox News guest, a former police officer from Kentucky, agrees we have to talk about guns.
But here’s a new reason for restrictions on unsafe gun purchases: it will reduce the Fentanyl Crisis. Firearms, legally sold in America and then trafficked to Mexico , are wielded by the same gangs Republicans want to bomb . South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham accused leading Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois of ignoring the Fentanyl crisis to try and solve the gun crisis.
Just cut off the cartel’s gun supply by stopping such straw purchases, and they’ll have to be like gun-deprived gangs in England where low supply and high demand make firearms rare. Given 74% of NRA members agree with such universal background checks, it’s a common gun law to shoot for this year in Congress.
