Should mentally ill people have access to guns?
Including ones who are psychotic and need to have a legal guardian?

🤔 *sigh*
is this over the trump bill repealing the obammy gun bill keeping our veterans and senior citizens from purchasing guns?
*sigh*
folks with any mental impairments are caught by the current checks for firearm purchases; those psychos as of late on the media that 'slipped' though the cracks were the fault of the understaffed and mis-managed mental health systems nation wide. (ask me how I know - was in the profession)
It's a social and medical problem not a big bad scary gun problem.

Blah blah blah. It was not keeping veterens and senior citizens from buying guns. It was keeping mentally ill people from doing so.
The real issue is "wording" that pubs claim COULD prevent seniors and veterens from buying a gun but does not ACTUALLY prevent them from doing so.
If those seniors and veterens are being treated for severe mental illness they are not going to be abke to buy a gun.
Except now. They are.
The pubs like to claim lots of things that are not actual reality in order to get rid of laws they dislike.

And it is a a gun problem. If they did not have guns it would not be so easy to kill people so quickly and at such a rate that you can kill more than one within minutes.
Dont play the "they can use bombs and knives " bs either...those are not as quick and easy.

@JaggedLittlePill: well, folks that have been treated and have a record of mental impairment have been caught under the pre-obammy system. how do i know? pre my current job i worked with folks with mental impairments and know how far into the system their impairments get fed; keeping them far away from firearm *purchases* - and a very close relative owns a gun store so i hear first hand info on folks getting denied for even tiny hiccups in their past - mostly stupid teenage crap that gets them involved in the mental healthcare system that keeps them ineligible for purchase.
and - i think both parties are piles of shit i side with neither.
and - i side on the welfare of the mental ill, the ones that are constantly fucked over by the political system by both parties, for their own political agendas.
and - i really side with the vets who come back and are treated like shit by the VA And govt - this includes the obama regime. I had second cousin that came back from the usmc that clearly had ptsd - everyone in the family knew it, his mother begged the VA for help, and they stamped him as OK. Well yes he was ok enough to go out and by a fucking 22 cal. rifle and kill himself. it's the guns fault. I know.
we can make this an argument about some pretty lame political agendas, but i like to think the people screwed by the system should come first.
ffs.
sorry. touchy subject for me.
