I can see the technocrats requiring physicians and psychiatrists to report psychiatric disorders to a database or those on psych medications.
What they could do is expand the controlled substance database to include psych drugs as class 5 controlled substances. Opioids, benzos, ADD drugs are already on there. Then, the background check could include this info.
I am absolutely opposed to this approach, and I think to safeguard privacy, we must prohibit law enforcement from having this info w/o subpoena. An a-hole like sessions would love this.
Literally millions of people take trazadone, myself included. The vast majority of people take this as a non narcotic non addictive sleep aid. It is also use as an anti-depressant but rarely used for this today. There are better drugs for depression. I could easily see a law that says, "anyone taking an anti depressant can not have a weapon." This is the slippery slope of gun confiscation.
I have been shooting for 60 of my 69 years on earth. I no longer hunt as the joy of killing left me. I have no problem with hunters and a select few are allowed to hunt on my land. We share the venison and turkey. It tastes great. I have never raised a weapon in anger and hope I never need to. I will raise that weapon without hesitation to protect my family, myself and innocents.
When I was a retail pharmacist I kept a weapon though it was against company policy. I just wanted a chance against a crazed drug addict thief. My plan if ever robbed was to give them the money and drugs without resistance. Hell I would even load up the bag for them if I thought they would not harm myself or staff. The only reason I would have used the weapon is for survival.
Wait until you get nabed on a drug test.
Even false positive will have the po po at your door
The whole shadow government would love this and Agenda 22 would use this info to the fullest to herd us into our individual enclaves.
...and vets with PTSD.
I take 1/5th of the daily antidepressant drug Elavil to help control my tinnitus. That would have me punted.
