any psychological references should red flag when someone is buying a weapon. if that's not part of the law in AZ it should absolutely be part of the law.

psych tests aren't totally accurate. crazy people can pass and sane people can fail. and by lives ruined forever i mean because johnny is going some kind of goth phase where he is fasinated with death and fails a psych eval, which doesn't mean he is crazy or a threat..) the career choices he makes later in life will be much more limited, among other things. as far as i know to be denied a gun you would have to do something criminally violent, not just have a psych eval that says you may be mentally unstable and could or could not have violent tendencies. why don't we just start arresting people for possible crimes that might happen in the future. it seems you'd be willing to strip people of many freedoms to keep guns which is kind of ironic.
