"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
New Proposal Will Force Gun Owners to Store Assault Weapons At Government Authorized Storage Depots
"Because you can never have too many laws, regulations and mandates, Massachusetts State Representative David Linsky has filed a new bill that would, among other things, force gun owners to undergo mental health background checks, acquire liability insurance, pay an additional 25% tax on all forms of ammunition, and require firearms categorized as “assault weapons” to be stored outside of their homes and only at government approved storage depots."

Linsky needs to undergo a mental health background check plus and intelligence test to see if he is competent to even be in any organization much less government. Betting he has Never heard of the Constitution and Bill or Rights (O.K. o.K. take it easy. I had to get that in to level the point of fact>)
The mental health background check has got to be the most insidious form of creeping authoritarianism. There are huge implications for barring rights to those who have been deemed "sick", when many mental illnesses lack any kind of objective measurement. Ironically, police and military personnel are are subject to more mental health screenings than the general public.
HA...yep, police, mental health screenings. It really does seem, sometimes, that they are screening to make sure they're nuts before giving them a job. If they're actually trying to screen crazy out, they surely aren't doing a very efficient job of it.

Hi Melinda L. Secor,
Hope this finds you and yours healthy, happy and prospering.
Interesting you should 'say' that. Back when I was a young whippersnapper, a roommate of mine was interviewed for a job as a security agent for a casino, and, (according to his report), that is EXACTLY what they were doing, making sure he was nuckinfuts before giving him the job. (Oh, and by the way, he got it. YIKES!)
