re: I'm a gun owner - is it really that bad to make a gun registry and require mental screens?

I’d like to know how you plan to register hundreds of millions of guns. You think people in this country trust the government to let them know how many guns they own?

Mental checks: you think people paying $5 gallon gas and overpriced groceries can afford a mental test? Criminals and crazies don’t follow the laws we do.

Nothing would stop a mentally ill person from taking their Dad’s gun from under the bed and using it. Not allowing mental patients to own an unregistered gun won’t solve the prob

Im pro gun and I think gun registry and mental screens are reasonable.


I'm a mental health professional. You come to me for screening. I decide your views on certain subjects makes you mentally unstable. Doesn't really matter what they are, just as long as I don't like them.

You do not pass, and therefore are not allowed to own a firearm.

Is that the type of rights you want to have in this country?

Because the above will most certainly happen. Especially considering the political leanings of most mental health professionals.

I see the usual tards are finally arriving to push their emotionally driven nonsense.

What took you so long?

Do you know what the avg wait time and cost for an hour appointment with a mental health professional?

Do you know what the wait time and cost for an hour appointment with a mental health professional will cost if you require them for every gun purchase?


Do you think this is a good or bad thing for people that are struggling with mental health issues and need to be able to speak with their therapist regularly?

So you morons are ok with requiring a license to drive but not own a deadly weapon. Whatever. Retards gonna retard.

This is probably the most common misstep committed by the left regarding this issue. Privilege vs Right. Learn the difference.

We keep saying it’s a mental health issue but year after year absolutely dick has been done. I get why people are over it


Do you know why? Because people on all sides, gun control, civil liberties, anyone sees that the government abuses any and all power granted to it because it’s made of people.

Gun control opposition knows any laws and power will be abused
Civil Liberty supporters know mental health laws will result in the admittance and undefined detention of thousands, if not millions of people.

The government will abuse all power given to it. All

Can we at least require some kind of mental screening for owning a gun and make sure that each gun is registered?


Psychological screenings are next to useless The military has tried forever to develop some type of effective screening to weed out the mentally unfit. They screen recruits, but it has been a very unreliable predictor of behavior.

It goes further than that. You don't need a license to drive a vehicle on private land. No registration, no license, nothing. Only on public roads and property.

All gun laws are infringements

I’m not totally against some sort of safety training before purchasing your first gun, but after that you’re only policing law abiding citizens

We need common sense gun control regulations.

Starting with the repeal of the 1934 NFA.

Oh yay more freedom infringing based off an emotional reaction. The gun isn’t the problem, it was a tool chosen by a sick, mentally ill person. He could have just as easily grabbed a few bottles of everclear and Molotov cocktail a classroom

Maybe we should stop normalizing mental illness behavior and start institutionalizing and treating it
