heck?

Psychological tests?  Only a search for previous convictions?[rolleyes]

Are these people insane?  Is a Psychological Evaluation supposed to uncover possible felony's that an individual had the opportunity to commit?

This is the real world folks, bad things sometimes happen - people deserve freedom, they should enjoy it, those that screw up should be harshly punished - end of story.

Any thoughts?

Agreed, but when I applied for my firearms license a background check was done on criminal past only. But if I ever was commited by judge to a psychiatric hospital it would have shown up also and would have counted in the decision.

Someone made a booboo when they checked this guy's background...but it's probably the gunowners who will bleed for that mistake. So far the media have been fairly mild, but don't count out the polichickens close before election time.

The psych tests are to enable the French to eliminate anyone with the potential for dangerous thoughts.  Such as admiring California wine.

I would have thought that they would only ask one question: "Have you ever, while in possession of a firearm, attempted surrender?" A negative answer would be proof of a dangerously violent person (in the french view), and be grounds for denial.

French Background Checks
