GOP Sen Grassley: 'Concentrate' on Entering People With 'Mental Reasons for Not Being Able to Handle' Guns into Files

While speaking to reporters at the Capitol on Thursday, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) argued that Congress needs to concentrate on making sure that people who “have mental reasons for not being able to handle a gun” have their names entered into the FBI’s files, something that the government has “not done a very good job” of doing.

Grassley said, “We have not done a very good job of making sure that people that have mental reasons for not being able to handle a gun getting their name into the FBI files, and we need to concentrate on that.”
