Big Sarge, take note. I certainly have.
For those too lazy or afraid to click the link hidden behind the tinyurl, it points to a one sided political opinion piece about how doctors at the VA are required to contact law enforcement when they identify "persons prohibited under federal law from receiving or possessing firearms." Of course these are veterans, and how terrible is that? OMG.

But it's kind of a tricky issue. Consider the Germanwings co-pilot who deliberately crashed the jet. He learned you get grounded when you come forward talking about your problems. You want to identify these people before they walk into a grade school and kill 30 children like that fucked up Lanza boy, but you don't want to scare away people who are in need of help because they are afraid they might lose their guns or their pilot's license.
