Your insistence that families report their own, is far too Totalitarian for my tastes.First, you can't punish a person for a crime they MIGHT commit.
Second, as I already expressed, if folks believe their rights will be curtailed due to seeking treatment for problems like depression...they simply won't seek treatment.
Lastly, what happens to the doctor patient privilege under your plan?
Medical professionals ALREADY have an ethical obligation to report that patients are a danger to themselves or others...and they don't, for fear of being sued by their charges...like Loughner for example.
Sure you can. We do it all the time. People on psychotic medications are restricted from driving. That impacts them more than restricting their guns
No doctor/patient privilege.......doctor/patient responsibility.
Sorry gun nuts, but there are bigger problems with these people's lives than not being able to own guns
Fortunately, most of America feels the same wary.
All you have to do is ask those families whether they want to show some responsibility or live the rest of their lives with blood on their hands asking......could I have done something?
