Mental health background check for gun purchases

I get it, crazy people shouldn't have guns. I mean 33,000 people die yearly in gun related incidents. That's a friggin lot of people.

But shouldn't we also apply that to buying a car? 37,000 people die each year in car crashes.

What about for buying alcohol? 88,000 yearly deaths are alcohol related.

Tobacco=480,000 deaths annually

And let's not forget abortions. 650,000 annually.

Everyone of the above is a preventable death. I agree mental health background checks should be provided to buy guns, alcohol, tobacco, cars and they should absolutely be done to have an abortion.

IF just one life can be saved by implementing background checks shouldn't we do for everything that kills people.

Should a Dr. also do a mental health screen before prescribing addictive pain medicine to a patient?

Why are career criminals allowed back on the streets without mental health screenings?

Once again, it's an agenda with the press. It has nothing to do with the number of deaths otherwise they would be focusing on cities like Chicago, Baltimore and New Orleans.
