kinda out of the ordinary.
Can we discuss, civilly, what to do about the fact we obviously need a "crazy filter" between disturbed people and access to firearms.
As it now stands, you can buy a gun, legally, unless you have been adjudicated as mentally incompetent. Now that's fine, but let's face it, very few people are ever declared incompetent by a court.
So, given pretty stout confidentiality of mental health records by federal and state statutes, is there a way we can make it tough, if not impossible, for the mentally disturbed to purchase or own firearms?
