I just heard on Fox that due to the way laws in Va. are written, a person who attends mental health counseling voluntarily, after a court decision, the record of them having attended counseling is not released and, therefore, background checks for firearms purchases do not get this record of the person attending counseling sessions.

First of all, if the court decrees you are mentally unstable or remands you to hospitalization for mental health issues, this IS reportable to the instant check system.

Secondly, voluntarily seeing a shrink -- or even voluntarily going in to a hospital -- shouldn't be a disqualifier. The law of unintended consequences will prevail and people who might want/need treatment won't seek it. Also, how can you disqualify someone because, say, he's depressed for a few days after his sister dies, and he goes and gets the help he needs?

You might as well rename “gun free zones” “free fire zones” because the bad guys know they will face no resistance until the police show up.

Boortz' point is: if our universities are supposed to be places of HIGHER learning, then why are making it easier for those who don't qualify to be there to stay?

Are we just turning our universities into extensions of our basic school system, i.e., K-16? Or are we turning our universities into remedial high school (9-12 repeated)?

good question, and I’d be curious to know HOW this guy got in..wouldn’t have anything to do with his asian (minority) status I hope..his writings obviously qualified him for a remedial writing class in HIGH SCHOOL..

Its all about gathering tuitions, grants and student loans. I was never impressed with getting any degrees because of this. I know I’ll get flamed about this but its my view and even though its made me not as competitive in the job market its always been to me that the American teaching system has been a total failure.
