The 2nd Amendment was written for the very purpose of protecting against a tyrannical government. The first thing a dictatorship or socialist government does is curtail speech and take away the citizens arms. You seem to be cheering that process on.
The problem with the argument of Second Amendment Advocates is that we need a gun for one of two reasons.
Hood rats don't go to gun stores, submit themselves to a background check, to buy guns. Most of their guns are stolen. Lots of people in essence smuggle guns into Chicago from outside of the state and sell them under the table for cash.Or maybe we can get the gun industry to stop dumping guns into these neighborhoods.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.
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.
Link to your data?
Pretty sure the "gun industry" only sells guns, they don't just "dump them in neighborhoods".
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."
The white perp murder rate in the USA is around 2 to 2.5 per 100,000 which is inline with many Euro countries. Same for Asians in the USA...maybe a bit lower.Countries with low rates of gun crime are all predominately white. So using your methodology, the solution is to evict everyone from the country who isn't white.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.
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.

That is nice but your gun grabbing can't infringe on my rights.No surprise you count on a fellow liberal that wants to destroy rights.
Naw, man, I want the right to be able to go to the movies or the mall or shopping or work or send kids to school without having to worry some maniac with a gun is going to spray the crowd with lead.
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.
Dems push psychological evaluations for gun owners and 'family members'
They will claim that the fact that you want a gun shows that you are not mentally stable.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."
They want psychological tests because it gives them power. They will select communist shrinks who will make claim most everybody is not mentally stable to own a gun, and then you won't ever to be allowed to legally buy one.
We are not only dealing with anti-Americans now, we are dealing with anti-constitutionalists as well.

There is no right "not to worry," NAZI. The promise of safety is one of the main ways aspiring dictators con people into throwing away their freedom.
If that's the way they want it, fine with me. But when we get into power again, we need to pass a bill that you need to be psychologically evaluated to vote. You'll hear the screaming then.
Actually only one reason: because we have Democrats. The only way we could give up our guns is if we get rid of all Democrats first. The reason we need guns is because of Democrats.

You guys aren't getting into power again... not until you dump the crazies in your party.
When you can kill someone with a vote, then we can talk about restricting voting.

Hey, Ray, the Democratic Mailman just dropped off your welfare Check that a Democrat voted you should have.
