92% of Americans own guns?...Fact check...False
Oopsy..Meant to say 92% of Americans own a car.
Find that hard to believe and it's actually 92% of American households have one or more.

HIPAA applies to only covered entities and does not override federal, state or licensing requirements that mandate medical fitness information.
I see false equivalence.
Acquiring weapons should require checks.
A person should not be required to show ID without probable cause.
The approach to every situation is different and arguing they should all be treated the same, is just plain stupid.
Not a false equivalence at all.
You don't like the idea being treated like a criminal without proof, neither do I.
You just quickly googled that, of course. Before that you had no idea what HIPAA was
The government doesnt have access to HIPAA unless it necessary for law enforcement to do so, but that can only be done after a crime has been committed.
Its simply not allowed that the government get access to the HIPAA database and get a hold of medical records for 47% of the country who might have mental health issues.
So again, if you dont know the names of all Americans who might have mental illness, how can you prevent them from buying firearms??
Nonsensical. One is not being treated like a criminal when they register their vehicle or their gun.
Most US States do have background checks, but those are mostly for criminal records, not for mental health issues.
If you're a convicted felon you cannot legally own a firearm
"HIPAA database" lmfao.You just quickly googled that, of course. Before that you had no idea what HIPAA was

And you are talking about me googling stuff?
There is nothing called a HIPAA database. Medical records are not maintained in any centralized repository in the US.
HIPAA does not prevent any federal agency from requiring health information for law enforcement, licensing etc.,
And I did not even propose something of that nature.
I said the person applying for the license should be given a psych eval at the time of application as part of the process.
Good, but should be more comprehensive than that.
There are plenty of non-felons who should have no business owning weapons.
So let me get this straight, showing a piece of plastic with your picture on it is "being treated like a criminal", but being on a government database isn't?
Do you think having to have a drivers license makes you feel like a criminal too?
Without probable cause? Yes it is.So let me get this straight, showing a piece of plastic with your picture on it is "being treated like a criminal", but being on a government database isn't?
No being on a government database (which you already are on anyway) is not.
You have a serious problem with critical thinking.
Does showing a driver's license (or any piece of ID) when asked make you feel like a criminal?
"Without probable cause"...but if you aren't breaking any laws, what do you have to hide? Did you already forget your argument from earlier?
Because you collect things designed to kill other humans - probable cause you are more likely to kill other humans."Without probable cause"...but if you aren't breaking any laws, what do you have to hide? Did you already forget your argument from earlier?
A LE officer asking you for ID without PC is harassment. You are being policed for no reason."Without probable cause"...but if you aren't breaking any laws, what do you have to hide? Did you already forget your argument from earlier?
Requiring you to register your vehicle or your gun on the other hand is regulatory in nature which we all have to comply with to ensure people driving a car or owning a gun are fit to do so.
