Re: Cornyn backed by NRA, introducing BG check legislation

Current federal law already prohibits people with certain mental disorders from purchasing firearms. I haven't read Cornyn's bill, but if it I have received accurate information, it does not expand background checks. It offers incentives to states to report what they should already be reporting pursuant to federal law.

The obvious intent is to head off Democrat-backed expansion of background checks as well as an expansion of mental disorders that would bar possession of firearms under federal law.
