This seems like a simple step that he could have done 4 years ago. It's not unreasonable to keep the criminally insane from buying guns. Or fertalizer and diesel, axes, knives or gasoline and matches. What a concept, restrict the nut, not honest, law abiding, sane citizens.

I wonder how long it will take for liberals to get all "up in arms" about "violating the rights and privacy" of the insane?

The problem is the definition of "mentally ill" we know liberalism is a mental disorder but I fully support their 2A rights...

I do wonder how far he will try to go with this. Flip side is...if someone is taking Paxil or some other psycoactive drug just to "cope"...they probably shouldn't have guns.

NRA would hate it. They've always spoken against discrimination towards the mentally ill, and their rights to be armed.

Ritilan or Prozac as a child?

Anti-depressants are some of the most commonly prescribed drugs in the U.S. --- that would eliminate a lot of gun owners.

Can't think of one of my liberal friends against adding the mentally ill to the NICS databases. But that's not enough... the loophole allowing private sales of firearms without background checks needs to be closed. Also, need to lengthen the amount of time before reselling a firearm to limit straw purchases.

Eventually it will be a medical catch 22.

You must be unstable / violent to want guns so you are refused guns because you are mentally unstable.
