My elderly mother had a seizure a few years ago. It came out of the blue & she went to the doctor who put her on meds. Within DAYS she received a notice from the DMV that her license would be pulled if she did not stay on anti-seizure meds.
I wouldn’t have a problem for a doctor to report an individual who said they were hearing voices, or had other indications that there was a sanity issue. At the least, they could put a hold on an immediate approval for a gun purchase until the individual’s situation could be clarified.
That doesn’t mean they could get away with requiring some sort of mental health check on the average gun purchaser. But if we can stop people from driving if they’ve had a seizure, then we can stop people from buying guns who are clearly not rational.
As the article mentioned, there is already mechanism in place to a judge these cases – the Left clearly wants to push the envelop past this point.
According to whom? Once there are conditions, then there will be people deciding to whom those conditions apply, you know like quoting the Bible, or Constitution, maybe even voting GOP, tho that one may be worthy of the classification, if they keep up their ways.
