Its just another approach the liberals use to push gun control. If they were really worried about mental illness, they would be talking about mental illness. Not guns.
It just never takes them long, does it?
A day after the latest shootings in Fort Hood in Texas, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., told reporters, "I would like to be able to bring it [expanded background checks] back up, but I need some more votes."

He also said:
"As I was told today, this young man bought his gun a day or two before he killed these people," Reid told reporters. "Couldn't we at least have background checks so that people who are ill mentally, or who are felons, shouldn't be able to buy guns? Even NRA members, a majority of them, support that so I hope we can bring it back up."
As I mentioned earlier - this guy passed a background check at a federally licensed dealer. And he bought it a MONTH before, not a day or two before, from that federally licensed dealer AFTER passing that background check.
So, why is he not talking about mental illness? Doesn't fit his narrative.....
