In addition what if someone gets a gun through proper channels and in 10 years they develop a mental illness then what? Maybe periodic psych tests? Kind of like re-taking your drivers test? The gun isn't the problemit's people and we are in constant change.
I don't know just a thought.
Rick and OJU, what type of questions are on the gun purchase form?

off the top of my head:
are you addicted to drugs?
are you a convicted felon?
are or have you been adjudicated mentally ill?
have you ever been arrested for domestic violence?
are you a citizen of the u.s.?
are you currently under indictment?
are you on parole?
if you answer yes to any BUT are you a citizen of the u.s. YER 86'd from buying a spoon.
standard background check thru az. d.p.s.(the BIG LAW DAWGS of the state) under normal circumstances takes about 10 minutes. dps does the state check and then runs yer azz thru FBI check.
