So, to actually be able to use this info in a background check there would have to be a national database available to the FBI with everyone's psych evals in it, right? First, that's would be an invasion of privacy/HIPAA violation and second, It hasn't been achieved at any level of healthcare, how in the hell would they pull it off for gun control? So what? Every time you buy a gun you have to go get a psych eval? And by who?

I do think that he is going to avoid any big gun grabs for the time being. He's already hurting in the polls and gun control has been proven to be an unpopular idea with the american public.

The point with that is that the VT shooter should never have been allowed to purchase those guns. They fact that he had been institutionalized within 5 or 10 years should have been a hold on the background check. Someone screwed up on that day, and no one will admit to it.
You don't need to have a psych eval to buy a gun, but I agree that being institutionalized or having a diagnosed condition that could cause a psychiatric break (schizo, etc.) should at least cause a hold and further evals before a sale could be completed.

No I am not saying that at all. But if you have been admitted to a mental institution on suicide watch (as he had been) and failed a mental health test (as he had) don't you think that should be documented somewhere?
I mean if there is evidence already that shows that you are a lunatic then IMO it should be documented and I don't see anything wrong with that. But frick no, I would not be up for taking any tests and did not mean that at all.
