There's still a ton off stupidity with fingers placed on chin, while nodding vertically.

Mental health check to exercise constitutional right? Even RBG won’t support this.

Roberts might and she'll long dead before this would get to the supreme court.

Sure she would, she'd support it for the 2nd but not the rest.

So, can we require these for immigrants and voters too then ?
Maybe educators too ?

Yes, I'd like to add "journalists" of whatever ilk. Since the "pen is mightier than the sword" and all that swill.

I have already left comments on it and U suggest everyone else do the same. Next up is a very angry letter to FUAC and Akshar with a copy to POTUS.

I think that's why she wouldn't, because any lawyer arguing this will point out that it could easily be applied to other rights.
My argument is that this is so profoundly unconstitutional that even the lefties in SCOTUS won't want to hear it. I could be wrong of course.

They should just ask "Are you mentally ill ?"
And as long as you respond "No, I have never voted for a Democrat" you should be GTG.

I think all politicians especially our dipshit Governor need to take medical compatibility test with all the stupid garbage they come up with

Also, mental health checks to own a firearm, but not run an entire state? Laughable.

Lets be honest they don't care about crime, they want to disarm those who could resist their tyranny.

So when’s this supposedly going into law, and what exactly are the new requirements? Formatting is showing up really weird and making it difficult to read.

Its a bill. Proposed dipshit legislation.

On another note, if this was to pass, it leaves a confiscation trail.

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...

There are many flaws and confounding problems with this legislation:
- Who will be the "medical professionals" performing such evaluations?
- Will medical professionals be willing to perform such evaluations?
- What medical professionals are qualified to perform these evaluations?
- Will evaluations be available at easily accessible sites throughout the state?
- What, exactly, will be asked during such an "evaluation?"
- How much will these professionals be paid for the evaluations?
- Who will pay for the evaluations?
- Will medical professionals be liable if someone they "clear" does something bad with a firearm?
- If such liability exists, will the professionals' medical malpractice cover such claims?
- If the professionals' current policies do not cover such claims, will the professionals be able to obtain additional insurance coverage?
- If medical malpractice insurance rises as a result of a professional participating in such evaluations, won't that necessitate more expensive evaluations?

It is not useless.
It is specifically designed to further reduce gun ownership, add more barriers to entry into the shooting sports, further stigmatize gun owners, and tie up money and resources that would be spent fighting to remove other unconstitutional gun control laws.
To that end, it will work very well.

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.

Let me say who will do this? Who will chance a no from a doctor. Not me. For the most part I have most everything I need. A few wants are missing but I can live with what I have. I’ll avoid this.
Also what DR will approve anyone. If I was a DR I’d say no. You’re saying so and so is fine to have a gun. What can you tell about a person from a 5-10 minute interview? If you approve them and they are the next mass shooter or murderer you’re screwed. You’ll be sued into oblivion.

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. 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.
