Lee and Pelosi go first.
Seems that many citizens of both Parties would view theft of our right of self defense, the Bill of Rights and plain words of the Second Amendment as a serious threat. This is an attempt to nullify our Constitutional Bill of Rights. It is a threat far more ominous to America than taking jobs because of alleged climate change or taking feminist rights or protecting special demographics.
Legislators and judges fretted about potential riots from Antifa and BLM if Trump were reelected. No one knows how people will react but it would be astute if they considered there are potential very serious irreversible harmful repercusions to the country when Constitutional rights are taken.
How’s that “preserving the union” thingy working out for everyone? Hmmm?
It becomes Catch-22. “You want to own a firearm? Then you must be mentally unbalanced.”
“(D) as part of the psychological evaluation, the licensed psychologist interviewed any spouse of the individual, any former spouse of the individual, and at least 2 other persons who are a member of the family of, or an associate of, the individual to further determine the state of the mental, emotional, and relational stability of the individual in relation to firearms.
= = =
OK, former spouses will give a glowing mental health assessment, right?
And 2 other associates? Who gets to pick them?
So they are declaring everyone in the US to be mentally insane till proven sane by psychiatrists.
But whom will prove the psychiatrists sane enough to make such judgements?
I’m always reminded of the early 1970s when Ferdinand Marcos of the Philippines ordered handgun registration, then confiscated those registered guns, then seized dictatorial power.
The US newspapers loved his registration. They loved his confiscation. Then when he seized power they could not believe it and wondered why they did not see this coming.
Strange. We saw it coming when he registered the guns.
1 1/2 million military on duty now.
700,000 policemen.
vs
15 million semi-auto owners.
300 million privately held guns in the US.
And they are going to disarm the people?

Serious question, how do you see people reacting when the feds, clipboards in hand, armed guards behind them, and a writ of whatever on the clipboards, show up at the door, demanding to "inspect and certify homes"?
Likely they will start with paperwork, credit card and online records, bank accounts seized and frozen, the like.
I've seen similar actions a few times in my life, probably most of us have, a couple right in my backyard.
One was two or three decades ago, involving an old-time-turd disturber on the edge of town who put up U.S. OUT of THE U.N. billboards around the city and at his trailer house out on the prairie.
At first he sparred with them over the amount, but eventually he paid what he owed, only now with the words Paid Under Protest in the memo line.
It played out over a year or more, but his property was seized, his "modular" home ended up in the great big hole the bulldozer dug and filled over...the county sheriff, a decent man, played negotiator, kept anyone from opening fire, and saved the landowner from being shot down.
But it was, as they say, a learning experience.
When they start randomly searching homes and arresting people without due process, that’s when CW2 starts
Easy, tell him you don't want it, don't need it, and ask for a second opinion. Have him/her make that notation in the medical record as you watch, and if legal take a phone shot of the entry. Then tear up the script in front of him and keep the pieces so you can prove you never submitted to a pharmacy. It would be best to have a witness during all that.
I'm not sure who is eligible, but I do believe a spouse or close family member would be allowed into such a consultation. Then file a complaint with the Board of Examiners about his incorrect prescribing a controlled substance that you don't need, with statements by yourself and a witness.
Unless the patient is truly batshit crazy and needing involuntary psyche ward admittance, his malfeasance will be obvious. Yes, we're heading into communist dark days, but this won't happen anytime soon.
I'm sure he doesn't get or know that most of the gun violence in urban cities is caused by the black market of guns. (Oh noes, I'm a racist by saying black). We read about it every day. These thugs/gangsters aren't going to the local FFL approved dealers and buying there. Of course some FFL gun shops could be selling out the back door.
But no mental health check to run for Congress, where you have far more power, and a higher ability of destroying far more lives than a single firearm could?
I’m not taking any mental health exam until the Q Anon people take it first!
That bar will get so low that it’ll be an easy pass for me.
Well, at least you will still be able to buy a 5,000 Pound Assault Pickup Truck without an Exam.
It’s good to be a Free American Citizen.
I don't have to tell you what our present VP considers to be our due.
A year or so I read about or saw on the tube some commentator, a shrewd fellow, but someone I wasn't entirely familiar with.
His message was essentially that the fate of the nation will depend on where the military and the LEOs cast their lot.
I’m thinking I know a lot of Black / Brown people that are legit gun owners / hunters,,,and vote the way I vote.
That bar will get so low that it’ll be an easy pass for me
Now was that cheap shot necessary at all?
Well, it was funny anyway, I gotta admit!
We all do, but it’s “evil whites” who are going to be targeted.
What those snakes on her head say?
