it is a total civil rights issue, the guys that want to ban guns will never allow any personally invasive test that would handicap a person or otherwise point out their mental stability... so that the mentally ill can be 'offered treatment' ask rochard if he would take that test...
let me ask you instead, what is the obligation of an individual to society? are we each obligated to give up some civil rights to assure each other that we are mentally fit to participate in society?
that's a really fun question, isn't it  |
in my country you go to 3 separate doctors to get a gun license...psychologist, psychiatrist and ophthalmologist AND you need to get a blood test because they check if you are on any sort of psychoactive substance including "pain medication"...
then the police go visit your neighbors and ask around what type of person you are...they check if you have ever been involved in any violent crime...you also need to attend shooting lessons...
then at their discretion they give you a license to own but not carry a gun...if you want a license to carry you have to prove that you are in danger...then you may get a carry license for 6 months...maybe...and after the 6 months pass you have to go to the police again and prove that you are still in danger...or that you need the gun for work and if you need it for work then you have to be in a bona fide security agency or a guard at some bona fide institution and MAYBE they will give you a carry license...
it is extremely hard to get shot in my country...3 mass shootings in the last 16 years total...the USA averages almost 1/day...
