The same imperial government that gave us Fast & Furious and swaps basketball players for Russian arms dealers wants to lecture us on guns.
F*** them.
Should mandatory psych evals be instituted for all gun owners?

F*** them.
What an absolute batshit crazy idea.
That being said, we need to do something different here in the US.

Are they a special privilege?
And here I thought there was a constitutional amendment on the topic.
Just for fun, you should post this question on the Gator politics board. Heads would explode.
It would be like pinching off a brown loaf into the punch bowl and leaving.
Interesting idea, but you're overlooking one big thing. The vast majority of violent crime committed with firearms isn't done by people who get their guns legally and follow all the rules.

Is there any evidence that people receiving treatment for mental issues are more likely to commit gun violence? Even if there is evidence for certain conditions, surely that's not the case for all.
I'm a lot more worried about those (presumably-untreated) folks we've seen screaming at PTA meetings than I am about my neighbor receiving grief therapy after his wife died.
In the end, no civilian needs an AR or AK.
Not one.
Not one.
No one needs a Tesla or an iPhone, either.
Lack of need isn't a good argument for confiscation or restriction.
There are good reasons, but that's not one of them.
Nor enough security staff to protect the mental health people when they reject someone.

‘Need’ has nothing to do with it. It’s our God given right in spite of what any POS politician might have to say about it.
P’soff Commie.
Ground hogs are tough. Shooting them with a .22lr just pisses them off.
Disagree on psych evals for the avg gun owner - just don’t see how it’s logistically feasible, and seems open to abuse. I do think regular training regarding how to use them/safety, etc ought to be required tho.
Oh for gods sake - while I think we’ve taken it too far, I do think the right to own a gun is perfectly fine; but “god-given?” Really?
Can you show me where in the Bible that passage is?
Excuse me - I don’t read the Bible and I’m not a church goer - I should have said inherent. As in, the right to have a gun simply exists. No matter what some fragile lib on HBOT or some POS in Washington DC thinks.
As to your question, Googling’s not difficult but I’ll indulge you this time (acknowledging that God didn’t write the Bible and this verse was intended more symbolic than literal ):
Luke11:21
21 “When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe.
Note how that doesn’t say gun? There’s many ways of being armed that would allow someone to protect their home.
Otherwise as I said, I agree that you have the right to own a gun. I just think that in todays world; with all the makes and models out there, with seemingly as many ways to accessorize them as the average children’s toy, it’s not unreasonable to suggest better gun control laws than we have.
So plant more trees and then grow more mental health care providers on said trees...............
Ya know.........I could just take all their guns and then tell them to deal with it. #gonna cry? .meme
At least this way I'm giving them a chance to prove why they're mentally stable enough to keep them.....................for at least 3 more months.
There isn't anything we can do about people wearing ISU apparel. They are a lost cause.Would also make mandatory psych evals prior to getting a driver’s license (Nah....just prove if they are a male or a female. Female? No license. Driving accidents across the board reduce exponentially
It’s always funny to me when people say someone will ‘take people’s guns’, or people will need to ‘turn over their guns’.
Yeah… I think your plan might break down there.
Like the police are going to show up at the house of any gun enthusiast and they’ll just hand them over. It’s not even slightly realistic.

I don't expect rough drafts to be implemented.
But yes.........people are gonna be distracted, alright.
Well let's think about that for a second, shall we.
What are you saying?
A person who is no longer legally allowed to possess firearms is essentially, in your words, saying "over my dead body".
Seems like a perfect example of someone who shouldn't keep their guns, and if they have a problem with it, well, that's on them.
The other side of this is you're suggesting that "fear" is a reason why this wouldn't work, because it could put the lives of those sent to remove said guns from those who shouldn't possess said guns in danger.......sooooooooo we should just let that person be and act as if there's nothing to see here.........because it could put f***ing people's lives in danger.
Sure. Thanks for playing.
The point is they need to submit something at the very least on an annual basis to prove why they should keep their guns. I'm not a gun owner, thank god for humanity amirite.......
, so I don't know exactly what the rules are once you own a gun, but I would want to eliminate the idea that once you provide said background check upon initial purchase that you can just walk off the lot and do whatever you want with it.It's not a car.
Well, then, you can kiss target practice goodbye because you have to hand over your guns.
See how easy that is, then, to reduce gun ownership?
Just prey upon the lazy portion of America, which is a massively growing percent of the population...............
It'd actually be a two-person team. Wouldn't just be a psych professional...............
No, the 2A does not require it. As the 2A was written, there should be zero regulation on anything, thinking otherwise is unAmerican.
I wasn't joking.
You have to prove to me that I should let you keep your guns, and if I don't have time to see you, then you hand them over automatically, and I absolutely will make my own provisions and movements of the proverbial goal posts if I move up my timetable to overthrow the world's governments and begin my rule as evil monkey dictator of planet earth, as I will need the extra guns to do so................
Again, I'm being serious.
