Do you think he actually even read 1 sentence of that thing? Hell no he did not. He was coached with talking points by staff members.I finally got to ask him about my two, specific concerns with the Safer Communities Act - of course, in private, afterward, because there were too many people hogging the floor and enjoying the sounds of their own voices (looking at you, social worker lady).
On the matter of more rigorous background checks for 18-20 year olds, Young claims that the only change is the introduction of certain juvenile records into NICS. (I need to verify.)
On the matter of changing the "prohibited person" standard for domestic violence from "convicted" to "charged", he could not give me an answer, and asked me to follow up with him. (I will do so, with specific language from the bill - but, shouldn't he already know the answer to that, on a bill that he both voted for cloture and voted for passage?)
