Yeah, I have, so what? I feel passionately about this issue.

If you read the main thread upwards, you can see that the checks I'm referencing are actually declarations on an application for a gun license which are then covered by a police check, which apparently is fairly similar to what you declare on an application for a US gun license. Which, yeah, I probably should used a more accurate term for what I was talking about. I've tried to be accurate about the comparisons I've been drawing but I've probably made mistakes and I admit that.

But I think you and one of the anons I was talking to above (if you aren't the same anon) also got confused about what I was saying. I'm making the argument more restrictive gun control for everybody, which is a different kettle of fish than just more invasive background checks for the mentally ill.

No need to get irate though - I don't mind if you don't agree with me. Obama does, which is fine by me.

You are really, really missing the point here. As other anons have said, we have background checks that are almost exactly the same as the one you pasted. The only difference is that the police cannot obtain the information for item d in a background check because it is not legal for them to do so. In Australia, it sounds like they can get that information. Here you can't because we believe that privacy trumps everyone else's safety, it seems.

THAT is the problem here - our mental health and privacy laws are absolute balls on that front. Until we make it legal for the police to do a background check on whether you have been treated for a mental disorder or not, you could just lie about it and they would have no way of checking to be sure.
