They will basically be keeping an eye on your mental health. So if you have declared it or come in saying you have depression. They can then decide to let the firearms team know. If you say you are suicidal or have anger issues they will alert the firearms team. The firearms team will come and interview and make their decision.
I might be a NON progressive Canadian.. Very conservative indeed AND Christian but for that, sorry to say guys but ... I think it would be a good thing (for a time). It's too easy, when you have a gun at home, to do some serious trouble when a person is in a bad mood. If you love guns so much, go work for the police or else, enlist...! Lives DO matter and it's time to do something about it once and for all.
A doctor... For instance, if you are schizophrene or bipolar, suffering of anger outbursts you are not the kind of person I would like to have guns in your possession.
Oh... I almost forgot! There should also be an IQ test. Anyone who can't reach 110 or more should be prohibited otherwise, they could believe anything they are told by anyone....... We saw that happening recently in the news... Very scary indeed!
