Then we need to revise the HIPAA laws.
Agreed, whatever it takes to keep guns out of the hands of whackjobs. No one who is a potential danger to others has a "right to privacy" about firearms in my opinion. Too many innocent people have died because of it. The right to privacy stops when it infringes on the life, liberty and pursuit of happiness of others.
Then the first thing we need to do is to certify who the whack jobs are.
I doubt you're old enough to remember but the DISGUSTING FILTH in the LSM and Hollywood (same thing) got all up in arms a few decades ago about people being incorrectly and arbitrarily put away for being nuts.
I can understand it. Especially when you consider that women made up a significant, and I'm talking around 90% or more, of the patients in Asylums.
Some of them were just having a bad time with hormonal issues and some were put there by dirtbag husbands and some were just whacko.
In any case, that was the impetus. Had it been 90% men, there would have never been a big deal about it (Men make up 95% of Prison Inmates and nobody cares).
So anyway, to get someone certified as nuts today is a long and hard process.
And even if you do, they'll keep them for 24 hours under observation and release them.
Most of these nutbags have been through the system so many times that they know exactly what to say to get released.
Plus the fact that State Facilities are under-funded and under-manned.
Then there's the problem with scumbag lawyers.
Can you imagine the lawsuits that would happen if a Doctor certifies somebody as nuts and he goes and gets a ******* dirtbag lawyer?
I can hear the commercials now, "Hah, I'm Dewey Cheatum of Dewey Cheatum and Howe. If you've been thrown in a padded room because a Doctor certified you as nuts, call us at 1-800-MONEYGRUBBINBITCHES. There is not fee unless we cheat, er, er, recover damages"
We need the State to take over certifying these nut jobs.
Will they do it?
No, they won't.
And there you have it, folks. Some people on the left may mean well

but even those very few who honestly do have no idea how badly this society is fucked up and how little chance there is of fixing it.
At least with dimocraps in office. With dimocraps in office, there's NO chance of fixing our society.
Ever
