I think all Americans should be mentally screened before being issued gov't approved forks, knives & spoons to be sure the indivdiual won't abuse these utincils by using them to overeat and become obese.
This will in turn help by bringing down healthcare costs for everyone.

Well when we have someone killing 12 people with a spoon and injuring 50 others with a fork, then maybe we should look at that. Until then guns are the issue at hand.

dont forget government issued pens, pencils, computers, vehicles, licenses, in fact anything that can be issued by a super controlling government envisioned by progressives. any of these things, as well as camera phones, can be used to destroy lives in many ways.
I don't think it would be too big of a deal to require everyone who wants to purchase a gun to be required to have a mental health screening. It is quite possible that we could identify some of the deranged people purchasing guns and reduce the possibility of what happened in Colorado from happening again.
Sure, but what happens down the road when this said person, who was mentally sound - Snaps? It does happen..
From what i've seen and read about the guy he was well educated,not known to police,neighbors said he was normal.
I think he would have passed a mental health test..
Everyone who proposes new gun control regulations should be required to have a mental health screening.
Everyone who proposes that everyone who proposes new gun control regulations should be required to have a mental health screening, should have mental health screening as well.
In addition though, everyone who proposes that everyone who proposes that everyone who proposes new gun control regulations should be required to have a mental health screening, should also have a mental health screening.

No mental issues, a year down the road - Snaps...
I would suggest that he have a mental health exam within 6 months before purchase of the guns. Would it catch all circumstances, certainly not, would it improve the chances, certainly.
With half a million BG checks last year for firearms bought from dealers, who are you going to find to hire for this, how much is it going to cost, and where should it take place? What mental issues would preclude one from buying a firearm? What would be allowed? Who would be willing to do this? Who would be monitoring the monitors?
