ok dude take a xannie we're talking about criminal history and/or serious mental health disorders. Say, those teachers that will be packing in your kids school....would you be cool with them being on serious anti depressants? You know the kind of meds that have a 2% chance of making the person flip out and harm themselves or others...? Does that sound like good times?
Background checks on private gun sales are an outstanding idea.
I'm guessing it will take a few days after the rule is enacted for private industry to figure-out how to screen potential (and current) employees for mental health issues using that feature. That will be a real cost-saver, because then they can avoid employing people who will run-up their health care bills. Then we can dump those guys into a high-risk pool and let taxpayers pay for them.
Oh, and if you're depressed, anxious, insomiac, etc. etc., you probably should avoid treatment. Otherwise it may appear in your medical record and someone will help themselves to your mental health history under the guise of a "firearms background check".
Good times.
