“Full state participation in NICS would help prevent the kind of tragedy that took place at Virginia Tech in 2007. Prior to that mass shooting, in which 32 people were murdered and 23 were injured, shooter Seung Hui Cho had been found mentally ill by a Virginia judge. However, Virginia did not submit that court record to NICS. The absence of this critical information in NICS enabled Cho to pass a background check and purchase the handguns he used for the shooting. This is one example of how the threat of gun violence can be reduced through improvement of the NICS system, a salient objective of the Manchin-Toomey amendment. “

This is some dangerous bullsheet, the next step is to declare your political enemies mentally ill and take away all their rihgts.

You've got that right. History teaches that as a clear lesson. The problem is, it's a lesson forgotten after a few generations, over and over.

they are ALREADY doign htat in NY folks- It’s just a matter of tiem before it sweeps across thsi nation

ANYONE having EVER taken any kind of anti-depressent, anti-anxiety, andti psychjotic- will have their guns confiscated WITHOUT any actual professional diagnosis of dangerous psychosis- it’;s already happenign in NY- all a doctor or nurse has to do is inform o na patient, and the police show up at door to confiscate guns- AND the states WILL go through medical records looking for any use of htsoe medications and WILL show up at your door to confiscate your guns- it’s alreadfy happenign in NY

Did I mention it’s already happenign in NY?

His assertion is just plain silly. Almost certainly the nut at Virginia Tech would have avoid scrutiny if only because of his race. IAC, enforcement is everything. Look at Boston. There were plenty of reasons why this guy should have been flagged but wasn’t.

This "mental health" thing is the slippery slope that will lead to any kid in school who gets diagnosed with "ADD", ADHD", anxiety, depression, autism, etc. Nowadays it almost seems like 90% of kids get diagosed with some "condition" or "disability" and end up on Ritalin or any number of other anti-anxiety pills and so forth. Whatever it takes to assuage lazy parents who can't be inconvenienced with stuff like discipline, and make life easier for lazy teachers while making big pharma happy as a clam. Someday all these kids are going to be grownups who can't buy guns because their names come up on some "mental health" registry. Who needs a "gun registry" when you got a handy workaround like a "mental health registry"?
