Re: mandatory mental health evaluation for gun-rights supporters
You want an answer? I think it is obvious, you want a gun, you are likely to fail any sanity test. If not, make the test so difficult that it takes a few hours and then makes the test mandatory every time someone wants to get close to a gun!
I mean we are talking lethal (strange intention assumed) instruments here, not kitchen gadgets! Leave guns to the government authorities and even they will be able to reduce the carrying of weapons if the access to guns are not allowed to people with mental disturbances. Again, the narrower the test of sanity, the better!

By the way, I also agree that the government has legislation to get people driving to stop at red lights and go at green lights. Sort of seems pretty stupid to leave it to individual decisions!

[/ QUOTE ] It just shoes another facet of your bigotry. You judge people differently based on their job decscription. What properties of "government worker" make them so different from normal humans that guns are good for them but bad for not them? Why does one rock fall down and another rock fall up in the same environment?

If you mean the difference between legitimate government appointed, and therefor delegated with the authority, law enforcers, and an individual untrained and unschooled in either the law and/or gun handling, yes, I do differentiate! I guess you don't? You'd rather the choice be the quickest of the guns? LOL Watched to many westerns, grow up! If not that, I am not sure what you mean!
