Papers please, papers please..."Are you now or have you ever been mentally ill?"

[pinto]

NRA proposes national database.

1. From 2000 'til 2008 many here could have fit the bill. n/t

[DURHAM D]

11. You have only been here 8 months. nt

[2on2u]

13. Under this name yes, but I've probably been here longer than you....

[DURHAM D]

15. Ok then but your post just seems hateful.

Is it about some old grudge?

[2on2u]

17. Nope...... just saying that NORMAL people, most people here can become so agitated when

they see their country being taken for a ride that they just seem nuts because of it, I was one of them.

[Downwinder]

2. Are you now or have you ever been intoxicated?

[HereSince1628]

3. It'll be ok. You'll be able to buy a copy of your report, or even your mom's

so that the family lawyer can challenge it

when the neighborhood watch captain tells

you that your neighbor who is your boss's secretary

told him you are on the list.

Why worry?

Be Happy.

4. Enough people here want that; it sucks that it's probably about to get more popular. (nt)

9. I could understand a mental health check when wanting to purchase a firearm,

but a database on mental health sounds like a way to create a subclass of citizens: sold to whomever will pay enough.

Bad idea. Bad idea.

5. This may come as a shock to some, but we already have a database for that

7. But most states refuse to fully comply...Aye...There is the rub.

The new sentiment in the Koch/ALEC controlled will surely be pushing for compliance

on edit: I really have no problem with keeping guns out of the hands of people adjudicated to be on a list.

Violence from the mentally ill is such a low actuarial risk it isn't possible to apply a solution like listing everyone with certain billing codes or prescriptions in their medical records without creating a law which will be challenged and likely upheld as being overly broad.

8. That's definitely a rub. HIPAA regulations may be in conflict with the reporting requirement.

[JohnnyLib2]

6. Sign up those bedwetters!

DSM IV 307.6 Enuresis

[rrneck]

10. Fuck the NRA. nt

[dembotoz]

14. make it easy --have the mentally ill wear something on their jackets--like a star maybe

then we can send them all to summer camp

[green for victory]

16. The Feds have had no problem demonizing cannabis users

they've tapped their phones, dug through their garbage, scrutinized their bank accounts, busted through their doors, killed family pets, confiscated property, demonized them in the media calling them terrorist supporters, and ruined countless lives.

Now some people want to reward these crooks and thieves and liars with tax revenue.

Medical Cannabis users can't have weapons, but those using SSRI's can?

all the while the Feds own a patent on the use of the main ingredient in Cannabis.

Something is very wrong here.

[HereSince1628]

18. The war on MJ is ineffective and, frankly, stupid, so we should make war on SSRI users

until the MJ war is over?

I don't understand

Something is very wrong here.
