Complete list of DMS-IV codes
U.S. Code section 922(g)
H.R 2640: The NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007

Under the DSM-IV-TR codes, there isn’t an person in the United States that would not fit in some category. Why does the government need gun control laws when they can effectively bar every citizen from owning a gun through DSM-IV-TR mental disorder codes?

While US Code section 922(g) say that you have to be legally defined as a ‘mental defective’ or committed… and actually section 101(c)(2) of HR 2640 says that each department or agency which makes any adjudication related to the mental health of a person must also “permit a person to apply for relief from the disabilities imposed by such subsections” and that record of mental illness may not be provided afterward when applying for a gun again. I still don’t like this bill. It’s still too easy, both theoretically and practically, to have someone declared a mental defective based on the DSM-IV codes. They have something for just about anything and if the government really wanted to keep guns out of our hands it could do so through these bullshit disorders.

All political power comes from the barrel of a gun. The communist party must command all the guns, that way, no guns can ever be used to command the party. -Mao Tse Tung

The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. -Adolf Hitler
