If I were under the care of a psychiatrist and taking meds because I hear voices, that would not be part of the background check and I could get a gun.
I do remember the S.S. deal, but not sure how it was really applied.
It's like how every year you hear about the "gun show" loophole needs to be closed. Really? What loophole? I've always had to do a background check at a gun show.
Never knew what the hell they're talking about there, either...
