On the one hand, no one wants the homicidal types to have firearms, but on the other hand, a blanket prohibition is wrong. Before long we will have government entities declaring Christians, Tea Party members and other “enemies of the state” as mentally ill and ineligible to own firearms. This was a major overstep of authority and the Sixth Circuit ruling is correct.
This actually could work in favor of gun haters. Back ground checks don’t even work! We need more restrictions.
There has been speculation that there would be gun grabbing using the medical records of anyone that has been treated for depression or any mental problem. That could tend to prevent people from getting help when they need it.
Ruh Roh! I guess the old nut case denial thingy in the intergalactic background checks is gonna be in trouble. At least until a higher court overturns the 6th District. Then again, according to the nannie bloomers types, just the desire to possess a firearm is proof that some of us are nut cases. Not as nutty as someone who is terrified of inanimate objects, but nut cases just the same. Often make me wonder if any of the bloomers know the meaning of infringed? (of course we probably all know or have seen folks that we would prefer not to have a firearm.) ;>}
That is essentially the present condition nationwide.
The actually mentally impaired are the bureaucrats, who don't have to prove anything, ever.
Just issue a regulation and Voila" it's the law, constitutional or not.
