So when I heard this last night on the radio, my first thought was about Obama's agenda to enact gun control or even confiscation. How incredibly convenient to get a task force together to 'recommend' mental health screenings as ...gee...we all agree that the mass shooting incidents are often mental health related.
Even this article doesn't discern between true mental illness and daily life stressors that can cause deep sadness, like grief.
This if the first step in the government being able to classify you as mentally unstable and keep you from owning your guns.
WOW...this administration is certainly up for using every crisis to their best advantage. Now they are going to screen you for mental illness, whether you are seeking treatment or not. Brilliant!
Why should people be depressed under Obamunism?
Yep! Back door gun grab!
This is so they can decide you either are 'depressed' or have 'tendencies' so they can take your guns away.
Don't play, people.
I figure that they would do a booming business for something like this at a DNC convention.

Tell me how a doctor can screen for depression when they can’t tell Frustration from Depression? Just another reason to grab our guns. Like a Military person reporting PSTD.
Grief gives you depression, chronic pain, violent loss of a Loved One also gives you PSTD to add to the depression which is temporary and does not need medication to fix it. Most sane people learn to deal or cope with it. It is the over emotional immature people who never learn to deal with it or life’s hard knoxs. BEEN there, live it and I don’t need their stinking pills. I have GOD.
Step 2: Get ‘em on prescription meds.
Step 3: Confiscate their guns.
I bet they include a provision that refusing to take a test for depression is a sign of depression.
“This if the first step in the government being able to classify you as mentally unstable and keep you from owning your guns. “
Totally agree. I said this weeks ago when they wanted every new mother screened for post partum depression.
Obama has clearly been studying the Soviet handbook on how to abuse the mental health professions for political purposes.
...and those who are depressed, have their ‘privilege’ to own guns taken away forever.
Preparatory to gun confiscation.
Yup.
If you don’t like the government control, you’re clinically depressed and need to have your guns taken away.
The pharmaceutical companies will love this, too. Heck, they’re probably sponsoring it. Another way to get more people taking their pills and potions.
This means don’t go to the doctor for anything, thereby reducing costs.
If you do go, say as little as possible.
“This if the first step in the government being able to classify you as mentally unstable and keep you from owning your guns.”
True dat. No fly no buy no due process list.
To keep people from getting guns. Only reason.
If you’ve been “screened”, you can’t own a gun, no matter the results of the screening.
THAT is the purpose!
Oppression, on the other hand, seems to be going around a lot now days.!!
