Not at all. In a sane world, I'd support a national gun registry and mandatory background checks but in the world of modern America we can't have such things without the government randomly seizing them all whenever the Democrats gain control. Also, the "assault weapons" ban idea doesn't seem to make any sense.
Also, the Orlando shooting is one that would be very hard to have prevented by any of the reforms being proposed right now.
Agreed.
Frankly, I'd be interested to hear from those pushing for tighter gun controls on why that didn't work for the people in Paris. France has very tight gun controls, France does not make guns readily available to its citizenry, and yet 130 people are killed and 368 others are injured in a coordinated attack. So for the sake of argument, please explain how removing all guns from the hands of law-abiding American citizens would make any difference whatsoever on these terrorist incidents? Because from where I sit, Paris cannot be pointed to as an example of where we hope to be with regard to gun control or addressing terrorist threats.
So, do you or don't you support national background checks and psychological tests?
Psychological tests are useful within a clinical setting as part of a diagnostic and therapeutic process. They are pretty useless in terms of predicting violence on their own.
