Mark my words. I have said this before. ANY prior indication a person has been prescribed Ritalin or the equivalent will be an automatic denial to receive a clear NCIS check when purchasing a gun. Likewise with visits to a psychologist or psychiatrist, any treatment for depression, sleep disorders, or anxiety.
You don’t think these ObamaCare felons (Navigators) are asking you those kinds of questions for nothing, do you?
Medical records are being digitized; not for medical expediency, but rather for government identification and adjudication.
These childhood diagnoses will also affect these kids' ability to join the military, obtain a pilot license, obtain a federal CDL, obtain any security clearance required to work in private industry that works government contracts, etc.
Parents, doctors and school administrators seemingly don't have a clue as to the impact these diagnoses have
You are EXACTLY on point!! I have been saying ADD and ADHD have been a fraud on America for years.
This, and what you described in reference to the use of pharmacology histories being used to deny fundamental rights (especially the RKBA) have been stated goals of the gun grabbers for a while.
The truly 'paranoid' will not seek medical aid if they need it because of the consequences, although many will get caught up in the sweep with millions who were hastily diagnosed as either a means to more income for someone or a matter of convenience.
Children are naturally rambunctious, curious, and often seem a little scatterbrained because there is so incredibly much to learn about. They're fascinated.
Medicating that out of them is criminal, teaching them self discipline is hard, and requires parental attention, something a horribly self-involved society has little time for, especially when we live in a world replete with things designed to grab your attention (TV, radio, ipod, advertising, are all in constant competition to sell you something, from a car to an idea.)
It is hard to get away from the hustle and bustle for an adult, imagine being in a room full of other children who are competing likewise for the attention of the adults around them.
