"victim disarmament" cannot be stated enough times. If people here are out on social media I hope they are spreading that since it really breaks the conditioning and makes people think. Those that support further legislation including Republican voters and pro-gun people are simply not using their head since to them on the surface it all sounds good until you dig a little deeper. They hear "common sense", "mentally ill', "SSRI", yet fail to realize it may effect them or people that are no threat to anyone. Since it is coming from Trump and a Republican they feel there is no threat to 2A or their gun ownership.
They need to think about happens if they are a family member becomes a victim. Will they be flagged or as what happens to people that become victims of violent crimes they end up on SSRI's or seek therapy or see a Psychiatrist to help deal with it. The threat may even still exist but now they may no longer be able to protect themselves.
Also, what about all the mentally ill people, like someone suffering from depression or some form of anxiety that are no harm to themselves or others. Will they now refuse to seek treatment since they do not want to be denied access to their guns or have their guns confiscated. Will people prescribed anxiety, depression or had symptoms of PTSD at one time in their life no longer be able to own a gun? What about domestic violence? Someone has a false accusation 20 years ago, will that preclude them from having a gun?
The only thing that will stop the Trumps is vocal opposition from his own base.
