Nicely breaks bad:

In a bit of crafty maneuvering, state Rep. Frank Niceley says he will try to amend his latest “Wild West” gun bill to force the state to begin reporting mental-health records to the FBI’s national instant background check system. “If they vote against it now, they’re voting against sending the names of lunatics to the feds,” Niceley says.

Meanwhile, Jeff Woods over at some Nashville weekly gets his full-fledged gun hating rhetoric on with terms like: Wild West, supposedly law-abiding handgun permit holders [they have to be or they don’t get permits – ed], and hard-core gun nuts. He says:

Even hard-core gun nuts would have a hard time voting for handguns on playgrounds.

Err, no. We wouldn’t. No different than a mall or Shoney’s.

Also, why would they report it to the FBI NICS? Tennessee uses its own system for gun purchases. I assume they’re connected in some way.
