[QUOTE]Originally posted by glassman: [QB] [b]but why let everyone own guns... what is so wrong with putting controls so the wrong people do not own them like criminals and mentally ill people?... We tend to have more stringent background checks in the job interviewing/application process then we do with guns... [/b] this is just not true. i already showed you the laws, they exist, and they should be enforced... if you went to legally purchase a gun tomorrow, you'd have to get a background check. what goes in the background check is the question here. [b]In 2005, two female Virginia Tech students reported being stalked by Cho, but they chose not to press charges. Yet after talking to him, campus police recommended he be detained for mental evaluation. Cho was evaluated at a local psychiatric hospital. A doctor there found him depressed, but said Cho denied being suicidal. The next day, a state magistrate found Cho "presents an imminent danger to himself as a result of mental illness," but did not find he was a threat to others. The magistrate recommended outpatient treatment as opposed to involuntary commitment. It's unclear what follow-up treatment Cho had.[/b] http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/law/jan-june07/guncontrol_04-20.html if you want to open all medical records to anybody and everybody? you are crazy... people will then be asking for your medical records before they hire you too... [b]The Federal Gun Control Act, ever since 1968, has prohibited the possession by a person or the sale to a person who is what they call mentally defective. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms wrote a regulation, and that regulation says that that category includes a person who has been found by some kind of official body to be a danger to himself or others. Cho was found to be a danger to himself or others when he was brought before a magistrate. The magistrate had the option to commit him but found that less restrictive treatment, the outpatient treatment, would be sufficient. Yet even though he wasn't committed, that's sufficient under federal law to bar him for the rest of his life from ever possessing a firearm. And, in fact, there's a case from the federal district court of Michigan, U.S. v. Vertz, that finds exactly that, that, in a very similar situation, the Federal Gun Control Act did apply and prohibited the person from having a gun.[/b] [/QB][/QUOTE]
