It's about the crazies getting access to guns, it's not about the guns, do something about the crazy people.
I'd like to see a list of psychological disorders that would immediately disqualify a person from owning a firearm permanently.
So far, a comprehensive list has not been offered and made public . . . at least to my knowledge.
In other words: "Where does one draw the line as it relates to specific "illnesses" and over what time period?"
Should a sober alcoholic or clean drug addict be prevented from owning a firearm? How about a person who suffered depression and was prescribed medication after a tragic event? Or a person who contemplated suicide decades earlier and is now a vibrant and healthy individual?
Hoarders . . . are they on the list? Autistic adults or narcissists: are they to be banned, too?
Where's the ACLU when you need them?
Silent fuckers.
BT, those are very good points and I would also be very concerned about just where that line gets drawn and by who and using what ruler?
I am probably not qualified to make those distinctions, but have some ideas. Might need to think about it some though.
ACLU comes down on the anti gun side I think, don't know for sure though.
