Dems push psychological evaluations for gun owners and 'family members'

[Billy_Kinetta]

A massive Democratic gun-control plan that could be called the "head shrink job protection bill" would require weapon owners and their family members to undergo "psychological evaluations."
Gun owners also would have to pay the government $800 in "insurance" fees, and a long list of weapons simply would be banned.

Unconstitutional. Perhaps one day the Democrats will forward legislation that is, but it is not today.

It's amazing just how many people the Democrats have pissed off in just two weeks.

If it passes the Senate, it will destroy the Dems in 2022.

Yes, the last thing we'd want is for crazy people to be denied access to guns.

Instead, we need to keep teaching our kids to do Active Shooter Drills and cower behind their desks.

Not really. Democrats need to stop living in fear of the National Rampage Association.

This has nothing to do with psychology and everything to do with making gun ownership so expensive and time consuming that common citizens can't afford it.

It has nothing to do with the NRA. The 1994 Federal Assault Weapon Ban turned out to be a bloodbath for Dems with Republicans gaining +7% of the seats in both houses.

Dems push psychological evaluations for gun owners and 'family members'

Is there anyone who can't see where democrat fantasy takes this (beyond attacking 2nd Amendment rights)?

Why would that be a bad thing?

You see, funny thing, when the Second Amendment was passed, guns were so expensive most people couldn't afford them. Gun ownership was a privilege of the rich.

Then Colt started mass producing them, and we've had criminals with guns ever since.

Funny thing, what they are kind of proposing here is what Germany already has. Germany has gun ownership, about 20 million guns for 80 million people. But it isn't considered a "Right", it's a privilege that has to be earned.

Germany has very little gun crime and few gun murders.

Hey, I've got no problem with the Second Amendment.

I'm all for well-regulated militias, I was a member of one for years.

Bollocks ... every household had a firearm for hunting and self-defense in Revolutionary War times.

The Minutemen were not in the 1%.

This is pretty much what Trump called for.

Trump says take guns first and worry about 'due process second' in White House gun meeting

The top priority is to get the illegal guns out of the hands of the bad guys. Democrats keep focusing or leaning on the good guys with guns. Maybe we should start these psychological tests of illegal gun owners and their family members in South Chicago or West Baltimore.

The "minuteman" is largely a myth.

The Revolutionary army was small, and they had to ask France for guns.

 

[Burgermeister]

This feels like one of the very effective tactics they use of socializing a ridiculous overreach so that a merely outrageous overreach seems more normal. "OK we won't push for psychological tests, but we at least need social media background checks."

Or maybe we can get the gun industry to stop dumping guns into these neighborhoods.

Case in point. Until 2010, Chicago had a pretty strict gun law. Then the National Rampage Association got rid of Chicago's gun law and forced Illinois to allow conceal carry. Well, lo and behold gun shops popped up on every corner in Chicago.

As a result, homicides in Chicago went from 460 in 2010 to 784 in 2016.

That's a generous rewriting of history.

Had a lot more to do with how unpopular Bill Clinton was, people's reaction to his tax increases, reaction to his proposed health care bill, etc.

Factually the Supreme Court threw out those laws.

 

[JoeB131]

Only because the NRA spent billions lobbying against them.

And you got just enough knuckle draggers on the court to think 'Well-Regulated Militia" means THESE guys.
