To: Eagle Eye; PSYCHO-FREEP
I can’t recall anyone saying that a schizophrenic who doesn’t always take his meds should be granted unrestricted 2A rights, and I don’t think I will.

the only way a Right might be 'GRANTED' is by having PRIOR RESTRAINT...therefore, individual 'People'/citizens have the duty/responsibilty of preparing themselves against the unmedicated schizo who can and will arm himself regardless unless locked up, and LOCKED UP should take FULL due process...

What if your neighbor and poker buddy runs through a very bad streak in life....fired from work, wife runs off with a female circus midget and cleans out the savings, etc etc etc and starts talking crazy enough to honestly scare you. What can you do? Is this a time or place for government intervention?

same as above...

Sorry EE, but I did answer yer question...

People should ARM THEMSELVES and the governments 'job' would be to thoroughly review the evidence, as petitioned by eligible citizens...

My bad on the semantics, I fully understand that government does not grant rights they are supposed to protect existing rights.

I’m still not satisfied that the best and right thing to do is to nothing but wait for someone to hurt themselves or others because we can’t risk violating his rights.

Rights also mean responsibilities.

What I’m asking is what do you do when someone cannot be trusted to act responsibly with firearms?

Sit back, wait and watch?
