Fair points, however, is it truly a violation of your rights to suggest legislation to restrict the ownership of guns from the mentally unstable? Or, to perform a background check to make sure of those buying a weapon?
Keep in mind NoName, that I'm not saying ban guns.

i honestly think it is just a waste of time to even bring this issue to congress if they do restrict it it will just make a big problem with te NRA and even if they ristrict the limit on ammo in a clip it wont prevent a guy from bringing a fully loaded clip or even 5 guns loaded with 7 bullets so this is just a sense of false security they are trying to push on us it is just rediculous to even try this if they do i will be aginst the law every day and so will so many other americans

Sorry, my bad.

I hate using the word "mentally unstable" because it's such a vague term that can be stretched over anything. Can we get more specific with what mental illnesses would prohibit people from buying firearms?
Many people jumped on the "we need to test people's mental health" after they heard about the Sandy Hooks shooter being autistic. What are we going to do, prohibit autistic people or people with autistic children from owning firearms?
One of Obama's executive orders states that doctors will be able to not only ask their patients if they or their family own any firearms, but they'll also be able to report that family to the government. I believe doctors should be allowed to ask whatever they want, but anything the patient says should remain between the doctor, the patient, and the patient's family ONLY with few exceptions.

You're right the term is too vague. I suppose it would have to be based upon a case to case basis in most instances. However, there are mentall illnesses which promote violent behaviour.

Yeah, pretty sure him being autistic wasn't the reason why he shot some kids...

I agree with that. Doctors should be able to ask people if they own guns and advise them whether or not that may be safe if they have some sort of mental condition. They don't need to be reporting it to the government though.

The ones that result in violent behavior might make good candidates. Though I do agree it would have to be on a case by case basis.

If he was autistic that would just make his shooting spree all the more odd.

depends on what kind of autism he had. some can make them unreliable.
it's hard for me to explain it in english, so i wont try. i hope you understand it. or that someone els knows and can explain it for me.

isn't this going past the topic?
if you want a gun. then you should allow the government to check if you can handle a gun or that you might be a risk. you have to agree whit those terms if you want to have a gun.
i mean. if you drive a truck, then you have to do a medical examine every so long.. if you dont want to share the results of those tests then you can't drive the truck. thats just how it go's. why would it be different whit guns?
