um... I am all for the 2nd amendment.. but even I have no issue with restricting access to guns to certified lunatics.

Of course ... then that brings up the issue of who gets to decide who’s a lunatic...

hm.. on second thought, maybe this is a good decision. I could just see some left wing nut jobs saying anyone who believes in God is a nut.

This was the phuzzy logic used to get us to accept background checks back in the 80's, which was a huge mistake in the first place. The 2A does NOT say, "shall not be infringed, as long as you have a background check.". Homicidal lunatics have ALWAYS had access to firearms. The point is that they are few and far between, and us lawful, non-homicidal maniacs must have access to them to protect ourselves and loved ones from the homicidal maniacs. No background checks required. The 2nd Amendment is being destroyed, and us gun owners are the main reason why - we accept BS arguments and give up a little freedom at a time in the name of little, ineffective security. We deserve neither and will lose both.

What the definition of a certified lunatic? And where is that clause in the 2nd Amendment?

Much of psychology is highly subjective and it’s results questionable in nature......not sure why people have such confidence it will not be used against them.
