Uh, wrong. Who makes the determination? How do you get the nut cases to present themselves for evaluation? Not a plan I'd put forward. Sounds like Dr. Ben kinda believes the "increase in shooting" bs the lyin' king is puttin' out there. The reality----
1993--195 million(approx) guns in private hands. "Gun" homicides- 7 per 100k.
2015--300+ million guns in private hands. "Gun" homicides---(2010 latest data) 3.6 per 100k.
Of course, if you count the inner city gang bangin' related homicides----------
It is highly unlikely that you are going to be killed in a "gun" homicide.
Correct as required.

Anytime a new government program is considered, one of my first concerns is the potential for abuse.
As we have seen in the last few years any government agency can and will be used against you by the Washington establishment.

His thinking has been infected by popular left wing culture and he can’t seem to unload it all at once. He’s hopeless.

Young men, approximately aged 16 - 29 and DAD IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND. White adolescents seem to like Nazis; black kids seem to like ISIS.

It will end up being a database of people that are considered a threat to oppressive government.

Ben, with all due respect, how would that be accomplished? Do potential mass killers sign up?

No thanks... Federal databases are rife with failure. The National Terror Watch List is one prime example.

Actually, the 2nd Amd, being absolute does not make exceptions for mentally unstable people so long as unstable people are people. The only exceptions could be under the involuntary servitude provision of the 13th amendment, in other words incarcerated prisoners, maybe.

I guess reading the article is too much work. Lets just emotionally react to the headline instead like the rest of the people on this thread.

My mistake. Sorry for trying to interjection reason into an irrational emotional response to a thread headline.

Bad idea. Anyone who owns a gun will eventually be part of that database. Carson is a bit too naive to be president.

Concur. It would be immediately abused by liberals.
Kind of a pre-crime determination to deprive someone of their Constitutional rights. Very Soviet.

Carson is where he is in the pols because he is black and makes some quasi conservative sounding noises. Proposals like this simply show that he is a closet statist, much like Zero.
