I'm always in favor of looking for ways to help keep guns out of people's hands that shouldn't have them, like mentally red flagged, ex felons,  terrorist suspects, etc. But at same time there is an underlying culture out there that breeds a lot of violence in numerous certain areas of the country.  That is where the sit in should be directed at if they really want to curb down on gun violence out there. imo.

Seems like this is attempt at a mere vote on the topic is a logical first step. They'll point to the members of the house against such a bill saying they're breaking terrorism yada yada. 

I'd prefer we don't allow guns in the hands of people on watch lists, but have to agree with those here that state due process is required to enable them to clear their names.  

I just don't like the idea that the NRA restricts any gun related legislation from even having its day on the floor.
