Should the mentally unstable be able to drive a car, obtain a DL? Use a sharp knife, operate a lawnmower? Does the Doc’s ask if their patients use sharp objects? Allowed to swim in a pool, river, gulf? Don’t make much sense now do it?

It’s really very simple.

Just answer “Nope, never had a single one.”

Then let the state prove you’re lying, if they can.

It may not be docs business, but it would be the interest of the public if patient is mentally ill.
I was recently walking down the street with my one year old, and my wife… and a (obviously) mentally ill homeless man murmurs “ill beat the f#!/ out of your baby.” Now clearly the first reaction would be to escalate this situation out of love and pride, but what does beating up a mentally ill man prove? After having recently debated gun politics with my wife, she says to me, now see, that guy (if not in the system) can go up and buy a gun with no problem. There is a flaw, and it is clearly not lawful ownership. Im all for my right to own any type of gun i want, but gun activist should be for this. This is the path to ownership without restriction. Its being proactive and not reactive. And lastly it’s not restricting ownership of law abiding, mentally sound citizens.

I can see a reason to ask this if there are mental health issues and the doctor thinks the person might be a risk to self or family or other people. (For instance the boy who shot all the people in the theatre might have been prevented if he didn’t have guns). Otherwise this is a MYOB issue.

I know that it is probably a file photo – but it is humorous to have a picture of a Smith & Wesson pistol in an article which mentions Glocks…

Save the people the cost of court actions on this. It is a simple answer for the doctors who ask…. it’s none of your business if I own or not own firearms. Next question.
