3. Two weeks ago "Mental Health" was just another "NRA Talking Point"

Now that the President included it in his EO, it's a wise move to reduce mass murder.

Some of them are pretty slow on the pick up but we'll see if the enthusiasm for expanded mental health has some staying power.

As far as the increase in licensing small private sellers, it's just "Back to the Future".

In the '90's Bill Clinton ordered the BATF to reduce the number of small sellers by eliminating "Kitchen Table Dealers" that didn't have a brick and mortar store, because they could be involved in selling to criminals. Now we're reversing course for the same reasons and we'll go back to kitchen table dealers.

Hell, if they do that, I may get a Class 1 FFL and get guns shipped direct to my door.

But at some point the Unintended Consequences might start to scare them off, when they realize what all that really means.
