Problem: Would you support or oppose the following changes in law and public policy designed to reduce gun violence while preserving Second Amendment rights? Thoroughly explain your responses. Closing the "gun show loophole" by requiring background checks? Requiring mental health professionals to report a patient to county governments if they believe the patient is "likely to engage in conduct that would result in serious harm to self or others" as the state of New York does? Barring a person from purchasing firearms for five years, as California does, after being placed on a 72-hour psychiatric hold in a facility? Restricting gun sales not only for those involuntarily committed, but also for those who voluntarily admit themselves to in-patient psychiatric care, as Georgia and Mississippi both do? Insisting that anyone who wants to purchase a gun be required to prove his of her medical and mental health fitness to do so by obtaining a permit based on physician's approval?
