[Cyber Liberty]

I never implied that, I merely stated that this is a dangerous road to go down. Who will have the authority to decide who is mentally fit to own a weapon? Who will set the criteria?

Those are excellent questions that have to be answered, especially in the context of this argument going on about "expanded background checks." Who decides who's too crazy to own a gun? Can a person that crazy ever be rehabilitated to the point they can own one? Psychopaths and Sociopaths lie rather convincingly. The Russians taught us in the 20th Century that "crazy" label can be abused to deprive sane people of their rights, are we inviting the US government to do the same? What other rights are at stake? What damage will be done to HIPAA privacy rights?

You've posited some good questions and points too.

Can a person that crazy ever be rehabilitated to the point they can own one?

If I may add to this, what if you're mistakenly put on the list, how would you get off of it?

What damage will be done to HIPAA privacy rights?

Right on imo. Funny, the PTB write "privacy" laws ye they're free to violate them at every turn....at their "whim"

I just have a gut feeling we're being set up for this "mental" health thingy, that's what they're really after.

The GOP will fall for it as a compromise, I think it's a trap.

JMHO.
