Fox News’ Tucker Carlson battled another Democratic strategist on gun control Friday night.
WATCH:

Antjuan Seawright, a Democratic strategist, said during an interview that he is a gun owner but thinks that there should be stronger gun ownership restrictions on people who have mental health issues.
Carlson, the co-founder of The Daily Caller, noted that it is already illegal for people adjudicated mentally unfit to purchase a firearm, and asked Seawright what specific changes he would make to the criminal background check system.

“Well, I think the word ends illness varies. One doctor can diagnose you one thing and one the other. We need to be consistent when we talk about mental health issues,” Seawright argued. “In some places people with mental illnesses can go into a gun show or online and buy a weapon.”
Carlson brought up the fact that a mentally ill person was able to buy a gun for the Parkland school shooting, stating, “We already have a comprehensive back ground check. Would you — I don’t know, tell me your solution. I’m sincerely interested.”
Seawright admitted that the federal government needs to do a better job enforcing the laws currently on the books.
“There are laws on the book and we have to enforce them and strengthen them where we need to. I think you can agree with that, right Tucker?” he asked.

“Adjudicated” means determined by a court, not by a doctor or by the media.

True. Would have been helpful if Seawright had understood that.

I am curious about where he goes into gun shows and on line and buys guns without background checks.

Easy, he lied. It didn't happen.

[Bawanna]

And todays Bingo goes to JohnR.

They do that lying thing when it works better than the truth.

Drain the swamp.

AKA "Leftist Taqiyya."

[Bawanna]

Hmmm, don't tell me......Taqiyya?? Swahili? Am I right. Yall didn't know I was multi lingual huh?

[JohnR]

Taqiyya is the islamic principle that allows them to lie to infidels to further jihad...

[Bawanna]

That was my second guess.

Wrt gun show private transactions....far as I know that's still state regulated/dependent.

[Bawanna]

Since the new law in our state all transactions at gun shows or otherwise have to be transferred through an FFL.

There was no issue before. Had to be a member with back ground check and also have a CPL.

A new cottage industry. Now there's dealers that don't even sell anything. They just do transfers for private vendors. First it was always 10 bucks at the show, a few have tried to up the auntie a bit but most refuse to raise so the ones after more loot don't get much business.

Now even if you sell to a friend or even a relative it's supposed to go through a dealer. Not sure how it can be enforced myself. But many are deeply afraid of big brother.

I have bought guns at gun shows without undergoing a background check. It's not difficult. There is always someone walking around with a firearm and a sign offering it for sale.

[Bawanna]

That doesn't happen at ours. Have to be a member and if they get caught they are ejected and not allowed to return. Same goes for parking lot deals. Probably easier to get away with it out there as it's harder for security to catch but they do wander around and look for it.

I'm sure many gun shows are much more lax.

Yep, my state is no check required for "personal collection" sales. Most normal folks are good about regulating themselves too. Everyone wants to see an in state drivers license and prefers to have a carry permit also. Buyers and the sellers usually want that.

Now if you go into the hood I'm sure it would be different but then escaping with your money and life would be the bigger issue.

This brings up a question about estate issues or gifts to family, especially for someone under 21 in Florida.

[JohnR]

Don’t ask, Don’t tell? There’s no gun registration in Florida.
