What’s wrong with prohibiting gun sales to lunatics or dangerous hotheads?

I also think off the wagon alcoholics shouldn’t get drivers licenses

These things seem like common sense

The problem is with who gets to decide who the lunatics and hotheads are.

Who gets to decide who is a lunatic and what due process is there?

Who gets to decide who is a “dangerous hothead”?

“What’s wrong with prohibiting gun sales to lunatics or dangerous hotheads?“

Everyone who posts on FR, any gun forum, goes to church and believes homosexual sex is a sin, or believes in due process will be instantly labeled a dangerous hot head.

People adjudicated mentally unstable by a court are already barred from possessing firearms.

It turns out that none of these mass shooters showed any insanity prior to their horrible act.

That’s not what a “Red Flag” law accomplishes. They are also ripe for abuse.

At some point the swamp redefines lunatics as Christians and dangerous hotheads as Conservatives or Constitutionalists.

Also, the psychiatrist labeled the Texas shooter as “no danger to himself or society.”
