Doctors can report some mentally ill patients to FBI under new gun control rule

A legitimate concern.

[LibWhacker]

So any doctor can pronounce someone crazy, from a psychiatrist, to an allergist, to podiatrist, to colo-rectal surgeon?

[PAR35]

32 years ago - the doctor has probably long since shredded the files. Don’t ask, don’t tell.

Never say anything in a doctor’s office about being depressed. Fake (if you have to) a happy attitude while there. If your foot is cut off, tell the doc that is okay, you have another one. Get the idea?

[max americana]

I always do. As a matter of fact, people who slow the line at the grocery check out who use their debit cards piss me off. I use cash.

[Toespi]

The term mentally illness covers a broad area. As an example, agoraphobia as well as many other benign phobias, obsessive compulsive disorder, non-clinical depression, anxiety, gambling addiction, sexual addiction, just to name a few. Interestingly, drug addiction is now considered a mental illness. We will see most doctors reporting just about everyone in order to cover themselves and avoid lawsuits, should someone go postal. This will be a mess.

LMAO. Maybe I should wear my shotgun totin’ Kurt Cobain t-shirt to the appointment...

Everything the one has done is either unlawful, or unconstitutional.

He is pleased with your assessment.

CA already has that law?

and it was retroactive?

insanity. he’s really turning it on this year folks.

people getting sent back to jail after finishing their term.

250k fines for calling a person the gender they are.

now his.

Wait till a Christian says, “I am full of joy, I have hope, I love and want to help my fellow man, etc.”

That will certainly be called INSANE (already done in old Soviet Union).

[PAR35]

Think that the government wants to take your guns away? Obviously paranoid, and your guns should be taken.

Think that the government doesn’t want to take your guns away? Obviously lost touch with reality, and your guns should be taken.

Those two things should cover most folks.

Using a debit card is way faster than using cash is this post-education society.

[dp0622]

i’m sorry, I have to say this again. 250K FINE

FOR CALLING A MAN A MAN AT WORK!!!! if he wants to be called a woman.

Dad, thank goodness you’re not around.

[Scrambler Bob]

Not retroactive.

She came up as kind of ‘mental’ on the background check.

[Secret Agent Man]

Oh this would never be abused.

Doctor swatting. I coined it.

[HiTech RedNeck]

It would sure be nice to have a post-stuck-up society.

[editor-surveyor]

Much easier to just not go to the quacks.

Healthier for sure.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Say the proud about the shrinks.

[microgood]

This cuts both ways. Liberals have been trying to prevent this so I was surprised when Obama came up with this. Currently, if someone walks into his psychiatrist office and says he is going to buy a bunch of guns and hit a mall of thousands of people, the doctor cannot divulge that.

Obviously there is no due process on the terrorist watchlist or the no fly list, but it might make sense to establish a due process when dealing with psychopaths who openly state their intentions to doctors.

[umgud]

Geez, does this mean I need to quit seeing my shrink? /s
