According to 4473, you cannot buy a gun if you are mentally ill. I’d say being convinced you are born into the body of the opposite sex would qualify.
Correct
I remember 1989 when California proposed a bad AW ban bill. So much opposition was raised against it the bill was shelved.
I felt something bad was going to happen in California. I was right! The State created a crisis to get it passed.
The state released Pat Purdy from a mental institution for the 7th time, allowed him to buy guns over the counter, in violation of state and Federal laws, passing the waiting period.
He then went and shot up the Stockton School yard killing several students and himself.
The shelved bill was pulled out and passed so fast before opposition could be mounted against it.
