Firearm sales hit record levels this holiday season

[Straw Man]

25. Oh, no...

Here's the deal: the judge does not do the psych evaluation. He or she reviews it and makes a legal decision based on its results. We don't let psychologists make legal judgements, and we don't let judges -- or cops -- do psych evaluations. That's very important for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is the protection of human rights.

So if I read you right, you want the police to be empowered to do psychological evaluations and potentially deny citizens the right to purchase a firearm based on the results of those evaluations. And such decisions could be appealed to a judge? Who wouldn't want to appeal such a decision? Would appellants be allowed to provide their own psychologists as expert witnesses to rebut the police findings? Could they be represented by counsel in the proceedings? Would this be administered at the municipal, state, or federal level? Have you thought any of this through?

I had to suppress a chuckle at your phrase "efficient bureaucracy," especially since you're talking about something that plays havoc not only with our legal system and Constitution, but with medical ethics as well. And you want to do this for every firearm purchaser?

"Cut the snark"? Please tell me you're joking. I'd like to believe that.
