“Universal background checks for ANYONE buying a gun.”

How’s that going to work? I haven’t had access to the background check system because I don’t sell firearms, but when I’ve bought one they didn’t tell the person on the other end of the phone call what kind of firearm I was buying, and I could have decided not to buy after the background check and they would not have known.

So, If I want to date someone or go into business with them or otherwise associate with them, can I use the background check system to find out if they are “Okay”, even if no firearm sale is involved? Will they know?

Can I use the system to run a check on local journalists and publishers?

Yeah, I know they want an SS number but so far they don’t require it.

You raise good points.

Also, what conditions will preclude gun ownership? Having gone to therapy? Frequently people try to get mental health services covered by their insurance. If someone seeks therapy to deal with post traumatic stress, or a move to a new location, trouble with their boss at work, help with difficult kids, marriage, etc, they get a diagnosis for the insurance co. It’s called adjustment disorder.

Will everyone using mental health services be banned from gun ownership?

What about IQ? Will people of lower IQ be banned from second amendment rights?

When someone gets a progressive disease like Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s, at what stage of the disease will the jack booted thugs come to his door?
