    If used properly this is a good thing. You don’t want someone who suffers from psychosis or some manic disorders with a firearm.

    Obviously it really depends how it is implemented.

      I agree, but I’m concerned that this might stop some folks from seeking mental health care, when they otherwise might have.

        Can confirm, it does. Not for firearms, just for “who knows what other rights I’ll lose in 30 years if I’m on that list.”

      My health records are none of your god-damned business.

        If I have to live somewhere where people can own deadly weapons. It absolutely is in the public interest to try and minimise the chances of something going wrong.

        Health records are checked when applying for social security, for immigration, for insurance. I don’t necessarily agree with the fact they are for these things. But in my ideal world. The public’s right to safety comes before the right of someone to own a deadly weapon. And if they are going to do a background check they might aswell check for conditions which increase risk of fatal firearm use.

          Inability to respect the rights of others is a red flag that you have psychopathic tendencies. Please report to the nearest euthanasia center.
