Page 4 of 6 gives a detailed explaination of "adjudicated mentally defective"

"I check NO to 11. f. every time as it in no way applies to my situation."

Right.

I check "no" too. I'm not disqualified from my Second Amendment rights simply because I see a shrink.

Under the NRA proposal, though, I probably WOULD be on the national database, especially if insurers or shrinks are required to report treatment. Screw the NRA!
Thanks for this!

LtI do NOT think this is a good idea. I think it is against hippa! Or would be. To have our mental health stuff in a database with names. Way too dangerous. Too much stigma on us already.

Even as a blind person I can BUY a car not drive it of course.. but we should be able to buy and use guns for sport if we want. Makes me super angry!

This whole nonsense about who should and who shouldn't be able to own a gun(s) is RIDICULOUS! If a person wants to go on a killing press they will. They will find guns somewhere. So tossing people on some stupid national list is just stupid.

I will shut up now.

No, Christina, DON'T shut up!! People have to speak out against the increasing government interference in our lives, or we will lose our freedoms.

A national database of the "mentally ill" would have to include everyone. Even the "supernormal" have their quirks, like closet pervs and perfectionists.
Thanks for this!
