SENATE BILL WOULD TAKE GUNS FROM MENTALLY ILL

SENATE BILL WOULD TAKE GUNS FROM MENTALLY ILL

U.S. Senators Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina), Mark Begich (D-Alaska), Jeff Flake (R-Arizona) and Mark Pryor (D-Arkansas), attempting to address the central issue of gun violence, introduced legislation Wednesday titled The NICS Reporting Improvement Act of 2013, which would clarify circumstances under which a person loses the right to receive or possess firearms based on mental illness. This action addresses the fact that  the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), the clearinghouse for all new gun purchases, does not receive certain mental incompetency adjudications under current law.
