I think the dynamic is if you are perceived as racist, you are mentally ill and will be treated as such. And we don’t want the mentally ill to have weapons, now do we???
That linkage is already happening. Look at the drive to have the records of PTSD vets who seek counseling used to deny them the right to own guns or the possibility that under Obamacare, medical records would be integrated with other government data bases to make determinations as the government sees fit.
