"Before 1934 anybody could buy anything at anytime."

Which is a good point. The mental health exceptions put forth are somewhat bothersome to me. While I dont particularly want some sort of violent maniac running around with a gun, the mental health exceptions put forth are always rather vague. Ive said many times in the past that this could be a real problem if not properly defined and was generally considered to be loony for even suggesting that great care has to be taken in specifying the restricted individuals.

Some may not be chuckling much longer. In the recent past Ive seen articles claiming or suggesting that those interested in having weaponry and exercising a right to it had something wrong with them. One particular item I find disturbing is that in the last couple of days Ive become aware of a situation where WAVE (Wisconsin Anti Violence Effort), a disinformationist anti rights group, has sent action alerts to the Mental Health Association in Milwaukee. MHA then added some hysterical diatribe to the alert and forwarded it to employees of a county government, to their government email addresses, to proselytize support in stopping our attempt at passing CCW

Presently the WAVE/MHA cabal claims its a mental health issue because CCW will increase the number of suicides. What happens when some Harvard snake oil salesman psychiatry professor comes forward with a "study" claiming everyone who wants to exercise their right to self defense is a paranoid with a penchant for violence and then this activist to government connection kicks in?

I'm not laughing. There were two Berkley professors that spent over a million dollars of federal funding on a study to conclude that being conservative is a mental condition and that all conservatives are insane. Joe Stalin knew that method...
