Hey everyone!! My daughter is having a FB “discussion” about guns. The rw person she’s conversing (you know, with the lib insults and liberal media etc) with is denigrating her for not knowing that the “new gun bill” requires a mental heath evaluation. Soooo- did I miss it? Haven’t heard anything about this. Have you? Thanks!!

like Gun Control Reform Activism. At the top of any DU page, look for the tab Forums & Groups.

And welcome to DU!

3. Locking - this forum is meant for people asking questions on how to use DU

rather than questions about current events. You're far more likely to get a reply if you repost this in General Discussion.

The wording in "About this Forum" might be a little ambiguous, but if you look at the other posts here, you'll get the idea. I may suggest to the admin that they make the wording clearer.
