If you or any of your children are currently, or ever have been, on any type of psychiatric medication you will not be legally allowed to own or purchase any type of firearm.

Living under the same roof, same as for one on probation, could be forthcoming.

That'll be just great. So nutjobs won't get help.(Not that it will help)

A scarier prediction: government computer algorithms sweep up your online presence, social media posts, purchases, comments to articles.....and determine you need medicated. You receive federally funded pills in the mail that have impregnated chips that can tell if you ingested them properly. Along with the package is a court order requiring you to submit to medicating for correction of a psychological problem. The court order also advises you that law enforcement will be by to sieze your registered and unregistered firearms.....you lose your first, second and fourth amendment rights all in one fell swoop and not one person is involved in the process.

For sure.

This is actually not far fetched.
The technology to do it already exists.

I use to be on those drugs. I got off them because they were making me nuts.
If any of you are on them and want to stop taking them, word of advice,
do it SLOWLY. Just stopping can lead to some serious problems. It took me
6 months to stop all together.

For a time last year my wife was on anti-depressants after we lost our little girl. They helped her cope but had to stop taking them before the second trimester of her current pregnancy. The doctor told her the wrong way to reduce the dosage and she ended up suffering from light sensitivity, nausea, and vertigo. She says that after going through that for 3 months, she never wants to take antis again.

Yep.. was watching a show about technology in policing
A University of Penn professor claims they have been quietly working with the FBI and other LE and has such an algorithm.
Not just from what you do now..
but based on social environment and family history he can with great probability predict if an unborn baby will disposed to commit a violent crime during it's life.
They want to, and sounded like they already do, use it for parole hearings.
His mantra If we can keep those who the algorithm shows will commit violent crime in jail with 10% error, and allow others who it says will not commit crime out on parole with 10% error that would be a great thing... or something very close

They also touched on plate readers, not just in cars but fixed at intersections like the Brits have.

What shocked me was police cars in California that the vehicle mounted plate readers ALSO HAVE FACIAL RECOGNITION and it IS in use. She was cruising down the street and it was checking plates and faces against registration, tickets, and warrants. The screen was segmented with I think 8 boxes that continually updated with pictures it was taking. A green outline within the picture box showed what it was looking at. When it hits there is an audible alarm, the green box turned red, and that picture box grew to cover half the screen. The officer stated this was deployed throughout her department.

I knew facial recognition was being deployed in public areas like transportation hubs.. but to see it working in a police car !

I believe the drugs they're feeding kids are doing far more harm than help.
