2013 Federal Assault Weapons Ban

Like I said I am not opposed to some mental health screening, I’m sure it’s fairly obvious if that person is crazy. there would obviously need to be standardized testing and it would take a committee of psychologists to even come up with the test I’m sure. the problem is that is still reactive not proactive

if we want to cut down on the amount of mental illness I believe we need to start with the education system and re work it because it obviously isnt working for us between the globally low scores and the high percentage of people on anti-depressants.

Alright so lets start at square one.

Is this going to be a mandatory mental health screening or optional? Federal ruling?

People who fail this wouldn’t be allowed to own guns, correct?

Ok i dont mean to offend anyone, but you dont seem to be playing devils advocate, you are using the same arguments that an uneducated lib would use, if you are a gun owner good for you, but dont sit thete and spew the same ignorance as the media, (calling all responsible gun owners extremists), we need more support for 2a rights and more productive discussions with people who dont know about firearms/2a rights) we dont need more arguments based on ridiculous ideas to scare away support for 2a rights. And owning a number of guns doesnt make you a 2a advocate, that way of thinking is right on par with cuomos bs of acting like he supports 2a rights because he owns a shotgun, once again if your offended by my comments i dont mean to sit here and stir up shit but the argument youve been making paints a different picture of you than a pro 2A gun owner.

Have you actually read any recent comments in this thread? I take it as a no…

Lets try the same thing with you. Are you OK with mentally unbalanced people owning guns? How about any limitations on what kind of weapons an average person is allowed to own. Chemical/biological/explosives or it it all fair game under 2A?

Reason these questions are asked is because on the surface 2A is always screamed as absolute but when gotten into details people are OK with some limitations. Then comes the question of what exactly the limitations should be.
