New bill requiring gun purchasers to go through a mental health check

[Phazer]

I'm going to go ahead and say that most, if not all, mental health professionals are going to tell the state to go fuck themselves.

Possibly, but not because they aren't mostly very anti-gun. They'd refuse due to liability issues and reimbursement issues.

This is bull shit they don't need or have time for. They are busy enough dealing with real patients with REAL mental health problems.

Well...with medical reimbursements dropping all around, more patients are always a good thing. But, the benefits of the increased "business" need to be balanced against the remuneration and liability.

State run or state approved doctors likely.

This is the best part. You need permission/approval. I have that it’s called the constitution.

purchaser of any firearm, rifle or shotgun shall submit to a mental
6 health evaluation and provide the seller with proof of his or her
7 approval to purchase such firearm, rifle or shotgun pursuant to subdivi- 8 sion (m) of section 7.09 of the mental hygiene law.

If NYS passes this, then some red states should pass the same requirement for an abortion.

Make the left pay to drag out all the arguments against it, then cite that ruling as precedent when you sue to get this overturned.

I didn’t call it law, rather asked when it was going into law (i.e. when the bill was becoming law). I assumed it was imminent. Now about that rundown...

My point is it can never be law. That's why SAFE is an act. None of it can ever become law, just unlawful legislation. The lurkers here need to know the difference.
