Who makes the determination on mental illness?


Mentally ill individuals are screened for gun purchases through federal background checks that check for court orders of involuntary commitment or a declaration of mental incompetence, as these are the primary criteria for being added to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) database and prohibiting a gun purchase.

Will this be expanded to include other forms of back ground checks to determine if someone is transgender?

No. Stop.

This is a literal slippery slope. Do NOT support this.

If that is taken as literal as you are saying...

Should prisoners in jail still be able to own and have a firearm while incarcerated?

Should children be able to carry into their elementary school?

Should the guy at the golf course waiting on Trump have had his gun taken from him before he used it to attempt to harm someone?

Mentally ill people are already subject to restrictions. Can you please link your previous posts criticizing the policy. TIA.

The only people who should be worried are the mentally ill.

lets open up those mental institutions and declare Trangenderism as a mental health condition and have them all put in institutions then.

Problem Solved.

Not a fan of red flag laws, but there aren't many red flags for mentally disability that are so obvious as transgenderism.

They've mastered this tactic so I would not be surprised on bit if this is actually true. They keep framing these issues so well.

Seems like what from people have posted, that mentally ill is clearly defined as “adjudicated as a mental defective” or “committed to a mental institution.”

What supporter of the 2A would want this definition just arbitrarily broadened?

What about "shall not be infringed" do people not understand? Besides, don't most of them live in Blue states that have unconstitutional gun control laws in place that should already be limiting firearms to these people (even if I personally disagree with those gun control laws existing in the first place)?

You’re going beyond the fact that this is about trans people who are currently restricted by the process now because of their mental health issues. Also democrats already try to take away and currently restrict 2a.

Youre being kind. I think they're literally too uneducated to know.

This is the best they can do.
