State Reporting to the NICS Database

Ohio has identified 26,876 mental health cases and forwarded those since the state passed a law in 2004. But 23 states and the District of Columbia have submitted fewer than 100 mental health records to the federal database.

Seventeen states submitted fewer than 10 mental health records, and four states haven’t submitted any records.

The article goes on to describe the slipshod methods that allow drug abusers and even criminals to end up not making the NICS database.

The whole system needs to be revamped. Then we need background checks on all gun sales, licensing of all gun owners and registration of every gun sold.

The irony about all the arguments against this is that the ones making the arguments would be little affected. Law-abiding mentally-sound individuals would continue to have their precious guns under the most stringent of gun control systems.

But, if those regulations about background checks, registration and licensing were in effect, can you imagine how many unfit prople would be prevented from getting guns? Common sense and honesty is all it takes to see this is the right way to go. Opposition is immoral.

What's your opinion? Please leave a comment.

3. maybe those were all of the records to report

Last time I read about this, the "missing records" were from low population states like Vermont. When compared to population, they were statistically in the same ballpark as the states that had the best records like Texas. The zero to 100 number alone is not evidence that there is a problem. Come to think of it, this is a duplicate of a thread some months ago.
Neither OP did any research to find how many adjudications there were, which is public record. Both OPs depended on numbers from MAIG.

5. "Opposition is immoral"

Another day another moral crusade.

This one replete with the meme; what do you have to worry about, it won't effect
You if your not one of " those people".

If you really want to talk about something immoral, how about ,The advocating
the use of force through government , to restrict, that which shall not be infringed.

Now thats immoral.

8. I will stand against you in the polls.

The whole system needs to be revamped. Then we need background checks on all gun sales, licensing of all gun owners and registration of every gun sold.

Assuming you still vote in the United States after living in Italy these past 20+ years, I, and millions of others, will stand against you in the polls to block any attempts at such legislation.

I will support licensing only if it preserves firearm ownership anonymity.
