How about psychiatric exams before being able to buy a gun?

You demonstrate here that you're only interested in the mentally ill as inroad to restrict a specific right. What sort of ideological loon seeks to treat sick people only in the context of exercising a constitutional right?

Lefty compassion in a nutshell. Pretty evil...as usual.
Nonsense.

I just wanted to confirm that gun nuts are full of shit when claiming you want to keep guns away from the mentally unstable.

Mission accomplished.

You confirmed that you will sacrifice even the sick and infirmed on your political altar.

We already knew this.

Mentally ill folks are useful to you in your objective - but only where convenient. Thanks for making it apparent to all.

Leftists are not liberal. Quite the opposite.

More of that Limbaughesque "I know what you're really thinking" gibberish, instead of addressing what someone says.

Your cult leaders have ruined your mind.

Not just Limbaugh - the entire right wing echo chamber.

It has ruined minds - destroyed the power of analytical thinking for GOP droids. Such as ignoring what people say and concocting some "thoughts" of others, and then arguing with them. All while proposing no affirmative agenda.

You have been indoctrinated into thinking it's normal, but it isn't.

The NRA and other gun nuts tell us that guns are not the problem - that we must keep guns away from the mentally disturbed.

Alright then, let's take them at their word, as absurd as that is, and do our best to address what they say is the problem. The solution...

Anyone who wants to buy a gun must pass a thorough psychiatric exam. And that gets coupled with a REAL background check, including all official records and interviews with applicants' family members, co-workers, etc.

That would sure go a long way toward screening out the mentally unstable people who can presently walk into gun shops, gun shows, etc. and buy Glocks or what have you.

Can I hear an Amen?
So you would trump an individuals right to privacy, a constitutional right, to "allow them" to purchase a firearm, own, and have in their possession, also a constitutional right? Si,ply done by the graciousness of the government? Sounds a bit fishy to me.

I DONT BELIEVE YOU!

Of course not. It's just like having to pass a background check (when our swiss cheese background checks laws require such a check).

It's optional to buy a gun. If one wants one, one has to prove he/she is not a looney tune.

Simple.

Yes, you have. Your words reveal that it seems normal to you.

Please feel free to correct me if you agree that it's abnormal.

Nope. They're not talking points. It's true. Review your own posts if you doubt me. You never say anything in the way of an actual agenda. Your posts are limited to talking about "the liberals," concocting their "thoughts" and ignoring what they say. This strikes you as normal, because it's all you get from hate radio and Fox Noise. You're brainwashed. Literally. Along with most of your right wing cohorts.

its really simple..

no more restrictions,,no more lies, no more infringment...

squat,,,you get squat...

you keep abortion,,i keep my guns

both kill,,both protected rights,,both rights attacked by the opposing sides..

easy peasy...and it doesnt even require you to agree...
 
I did. See the top post.

Which launched you on that "Liberals think this, and liberals think that" drivel.

I read your top post and what you are proposing is not only impractical, it would also be impossible to accomplish. Having every citizen take tests and then interview their family members and co workers then make an assesment based on this information could literally take months maybe even years. These tests would be based on what baisis and who would be the agency that reviews this data. Admit it Bugs, your real agenda is to prevent anyone from buying a gun, because it would have so much red tape and delays no one would agree to this socialist plan. The far left wants to take all the guns or make it so difficult and impractical to buy one no one will agree to this. That is always the problem with the left they want total and complete control of everything and until they get it they will scream to holy hell until they get their way. Your problem Bugs, is the Constitution and the 2nd Amendment, I know the left disregards the Constitution and if you had your way you would abolish the 2nd Amendment but that will never happen. Bugs, millions of law abiding citizens own guns, I am one of these citizens. You will not take my guns.

I have a question for you Bugs. Do you not think that a much better and more practical solution is to have law enforcement and mental health professionals report individuals to the feds when they are actually identified as a potential risk. Then this information could be used to prevent these people from buying a firearm. Even if this was done it will not pervent guns falling into the hands of mentally unstable people due to the black market. Exactly how do you propose to solve that little problem? I assure you if anyone in this country wants a gun badly enough that gun can be obtained.

Of course it's practical. It wouldn't even have to take so long. The costs of the process would be borne by the applicants. It's a small price to pay when someone wants to buy a people-killing device, and no other system to weed out crazies would work anywhere near as well.

Even the current process is literally riddled with errors and other problems, and you want to add another layer -- and have the sheer never to call it practical? Get stronger meds.

Ok and now what do you propose to handle the millions of guns on the black market that are available to anyone at anytime?
 
since there are 40,000 auto accident deaths a year (more than 10X gun deaths) and hundreds of thousands maimed, why not a psychiatric exam before you can drive a car? or before you can buy alcohol?
