[QUOTE="zork, post: 2798115, member: 7199"] There is already a mental health provision that bans purchasing guns. If one has ever been an inpatient to a mental facility, that info is supposed to be available to background checking to prevent one from being able to buy a gun. But there are thousands of mentally ill persons who self-medicate with alcohol and illegal drugs that won't be picked up in a background check. So, if a person realizes they need help and go to a doc who prescribes a drug with a possible side effect of "suicidal ideation," they would not be able to purchase a gun. But if the self-medicating nutcase finds out they can't keep their demons under control anymore, and decide to "go out in a blaze of glory," they can buy all the guns they want! Wow! [/QUOTE]
