But you must remember all of the discussions in the past about seat belts and helmets and how they infringed on our rights?

As far as screening for mental health, are you out of your fucking mind? Seriously Richard, love you, but that's nuts. Think about it, some shrink sitting in an office going thru 300 people a day determining their right to own a gun? Because if you want it to be just when they see a shrink, they will stop seeing a shrink to keep their guns.

No one has to sit in an office and do anything. If you have seen a mental health doctor for ANYTHING, you are flagged. Period. If you see a shrink because someone in your house might be nuts, you are also flagged - can't have a firearm in the house if your kid is suicidal.

You do know that in this country you are like 5 times more likely to die from the misdiagnoses of a doctor than a gun shot?

And this should be the first thing in any new law about background searches.
The NRA used to be about gun safety in the 1970s - rifles. Handguns and assault rifles was never part of the discussion. After the last school shooting, instead of having smart discussions about what we can do to prevent this from happening again, the NRA stuck it's head up it's ass.
The end result is the most damaging gun bill ever is about to pass in Connecticut.... Instead of the NRA sitting down with lawmakers and having a talk about it and having checks for mental health, instead we'll have to register "high capacity magazines".
