I agree with all your points except the mental history check. Not because I think it in of itself would be bad, but because that then gives the Government more leeway to look into your medical history. Also allows for future discrimination of certain rights to people because of certain issues.

I'll never understand why so many people are scared of talking about politics.Being that this is the OOC thread for an RP, though, perhaps we should if we don't want to keep smothering the thread in posts.

If you're schizophrenic or have a loose mental grip on reality, you do not deserve to own or wield a deadly weapon. End of story.

I have to go to bed. Remember you can have my gun when you take it from my cold, dead hands! Or if you respectfully ask that I hand it over. Either or.

Who determines what a loose mental grip on reality is though? I agree that those are issues and they shouldn't own a deadly weapon, however what about those who have been through severe mental illness but through counseling/medication are over it...because of their past history the Government denies them certain rights. "You cannot own a gun because when you were 14 you were suicidal" can quickly become "You cannot vote because your mental history does not allow you the ability to do so rationally."

For greater impact, listen to this while reading."You were supposed to destroy the French, not join them!"

When your colonies rebelled, who armed them? Us, or France? Who threatened an invasion upon your shores? Us, or France? How could you have come to hate us so? Who from your very inception as a state with the invasion of William of Normandy has opposed and battled you at every turn but the French? By whose hand have more of your sons been slain?
