Not true. Psychiatric red flags could be used without divulging details. The details could be cleared in private by a psychitrist without making any details public. If someone has psychotic episodes, especially paranoid schitzo types, or morbid jealousy, that can be entered into a data-base used for determining if someone can own a weapon. This makes perfect sense. It would actually help the NRA achieve what they want, and make socioety safer at the same time. But to merely rely on criminal records as a guideline is weak and unrealistic. As I've said, most criminals would not even try to buy a gun at a store. And most criminals are nowhere near as dangerous with a weapon as a psychotic. Of course some people are both criminal and psychotic. For instance, why would comeone who attempts suicide be allowed to buy a gun? Makes no sense whatsoever. Or someone who is a virulent paranoid Nazi extremist? No excuse whatsoever for selling these characters weapons.
