Ah, so you didn't have an intelligent response. Got it.Ignored because they're all dumb, whiney examples. Oh poor me, I haven't figured it out in the 4 years since the last election...must be...racism, or something.
Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer. All of the aforementioned, way less onerous or expensive than what you expect from others, but still somehow, "too much".
From ChatGPT. There are others too like Turkey, Brazil etc.,
1. Poland
- Applicants must pass a medical evaluation, which includes psychiatric and psychological assessments, to confirm they have no mental disorders or psychological dysfunctions prior to obtaining a firearm permit
- Licensing includes a mental health evaluation at a hospital, extensive background checks, and interviews with family and friends
- Firearm licenses are valid for three years and must be fully re-examined, including mental health assessment, upon renewal
- Applicants must pass a psychiatric test administered by a PNP-accredited psychologist or psychiatrist, alongside background checks and drug tests
- Requires mental and physical fitness tests, including mental health evaluation, as part of licensing—especially following the reforms after the 1996 Port Arthur massacre
I showed you examples of citizens who are unable to get IDs.
You gave me a stupid answer in return.
That makes only one of us stupid and it ain't me.
"Unable"? Horseshit. Unwilling, more like it. If voting is that important to someone, they'll be able to get verified in the 4 years between elections.
That isn't racism, it's laziness.
I'll give you credit for that.
But how many of these countries have it written in their constitution that its citizens have "the right to bear arms"?? None of them do AFAIK.
So even if you denied a person in the US from buying a gun because he/she didnt pass the psych test, it would never pas a constitutional challenge
That's why the GOP is so against using most of those things as voter ID.
Canada, for instance allows a wide range of documents to prove ID.
It's why the fact voter ID is required isn't a big deal here.
If that is what the GOP was proposing, it wouldn't be a big deal in the US either.
But that's not the point of voter ID in the current US political landscape.
The point is to use it to stop people from voting who you don't want to vote.
That's why the use of multiple fallback options such as you are describing is so virulently opposed.
The "problem" with the United States, is that the 2nd Amendment is recognized as a right, which is why these discussions are pointless. The US has recognized state rights; so that individual democrat run shitholes can govern as they see fit, but for the national level of gun control that shitlibs dream about, they would have to repeal the 2nd Amendment.
Good luck with that.
No unable. Life events takes precedence over voting but voting is still a right that should not be denied to people.
I lost an election because I don't take you seriously?
I didn't realize you were so powerful.
It's a corporation.
No, Disney isn't "woke" by any realistic definition of the term.
But since for you, "woke" is "sometimes has things that don't focus on white men", then sure, it's been woke.
We have been over and over this, MAGA doesn't believe in biology any more than they believe in science or human rights.
Current state and federal laws already prevent people with mental health issues from owning weapons.
We just need the mental health issue diagnosed before issuing a license.
Not a constitutional issue.
Is that like people who are unwilling to get safes for their gun collections?
It most definitely is a constitutional issue.
I already stated in a previous post that about 47% of Americans suffer from some type of mental health issue, and there's absolutely no way you're gonna deny almost half the country of firearms. It would never survive a constitutional challenge.
And if you disagree, then why have some Blue States not already made it a law that requires a mental health issue diagnosis before issuing a gun license??
It's not being denied, it's the most basic, low effort requirement that is still somehow too much for people playing white knight for another group of people they don't actually care about.
NRA and corporate interests.
And no the constitution is interpreted by courts.
Courts have consistently upheld these restrictions as not violating the Second Amendment in multiple cases.
A requirement a lot of people are unable to fulfil for very valid reasons as I explained earlier.
