I hope your're right on this. UBC's will do nothing but move us toward gun registration. However, I would support making mental health data available in the present background check system. The problem is that in order to do this, the HIPAA Act would need to be amended and this would be difficult politically.


And easier and simpler improvement would be to make juvenile records part of it up through say... the age of 30 or so. That probably would have stopped one or two of these guys.

Sounds reasonable, but I think there would be lots of opposition to this as well. The Left doesn't really want to solve the problem, they just want our guns.
