Explain what a "better" background check would be. Access to medical records? Mental illness that is untreated, unrecognized, so on is the problem with many shooters... so their illness wouldn't be in medical records.... not to mention that medical records are private.
good luck with that...a typical mental illness is gender dysphoria, which is rampant and yet socially acceptable these days and I doubt it will ever be considered as a disqualifying factor for the suspension of 2A rights from its sufferers without the backlash of public outcry of discrimination.
Hi Haigan. Very interesting re: gender dysphoria. It seems that it is socially acceptable, even encouraged, as being derigueur and chic in these misguided times. However, it's hard to believe it is rampant in the real world outside of what certain agenda driven proponents who revel in promoting such an idea want the general population to believe. My sense of real life here in the worldly trenches is that the overwhelming majority of people are not conflicted about their gender at all.
I would agree, just using that one particular mental disorder to illustrate the point.
Gender dysphoria isn't generally the cause of mass shootings. Nice derailing, there.
Follow the conversation, "Mental illness that is untreated, unrecognized, so on is the problem with many shooters..." You mentioned mental illness, I stated a common example of one type to illustrate the point, the question being "which mental illnesses do you plan to screen gun ownership with, all of them or just the ones that fit the progressive liberal narrative?"
I don't propose screening for any. Medical records are private. My question is... what does "better background checks" even mean? What does the question propose if not a violation of HIPAA laws?
I apologize for misunderstanding your intent. "Better background checks" means "we don't want to admit failing to enforce existing laws," in My opinion.
Well then I guess my answer is xOther and my explanation is : there are already too many gun control laws infringing on the 2nd amendment.
