Ok, so in the end what was actually passed and signed. The headlines (which are quite incomplete of course), indicate:
-States to release and incorporate 18-21 criminal records into NCIS. I'm pretty OK with this - sorry if that's not OK with everyone that I am, if that's that.
-Additional funding for school security and mental health. Eh, for the most part I think these are fools errands and also fail to recognize that the armed officer at the school is actually a feature, since it's actually a suicide anyway. But aside from misplaced Make-It-Rain with money we don't have, doesn't seem to be an imposition on gun rights
-Red Flag Laws? Did they get stripped? I didn't hear much commentary on any details or if anything related to that is what ended up in the final bill. As always, the Devil is in the details. I'm OK with a system that allows us to respond to "I think this dude is about to shoot up the local school", so long as at the same time, it isn't something subject to abuse or undermines appropriate due-process. I have yet to see a version that sufficient address the latter, so Devil is in the details, but did they pass anything on this at all?
