So I have to ask you Jeff, who will fix the problem of the mentally ill legally purchasing guns?

We actually do not disagree at all, Shaun. I don't know how else to put this - I've said time and time again that the NRA has lobbied extensively on our proposed solutions to these problems. We have "suggested" solutions ad nauseam. They are very "tough" solutions, that liberals have vehemently rejected, while offering nothing viable of their own.
Our solutions, proven effective where adopted (re:Virginia, as mentioned earlier):
Far tougher sentences for gun crime -mandatory "bonus" sentences. More open access for regulatory authorities to mental health records. "Three Strikes" laws. The NRA has lobbied for these measures for decades, and liberals have rejected them out of hand. How hard is this to understand? I've mentioned these proposed measures several times. You keep ignoring them in your efforts to claim we are doing nothing.
