Medical assessments in theory are a good idea, however most medical practitioners are not qualified to perform mental health checks. Currently under the law GP’s are already required by law to report unfit personnel to the police. How much pressure will they be placed under to disqualify people. Doctors proved under COVID that they were worth a damm.
Will the police be held under the same laws of operating firearms ? Or for that matter politicians.
Ask yourselves why our government are targeting law abiding citizens and to disarm legal owners of firearms.
Will GP’s be receiving any training to disqualify people. The last few GP’s I have seen have been totally incompetent in their every day practices. My current one cant even remember whats wrong with me, has biased views towards pain medication. My thoracic specialists couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me for over 6 months and it fell upon a kidney and heart specialist that worked it out in 3 hours. I currently have enough data to start 20 law suits against my current hospital, all of which will fall upon deaf ears and the lawyers will drag out the proceedings until I pass away. Laws are only there for the rich.
if the government is going to bring in mental health checks then have them performed by qualified psychiatrists and not GP’s that cant even write scripts for many mental health medications..
Silence equals surrender !
