[[What part of “shall not be infringed” doesn’t compute here? They are literally attempting to encroach on the rights of Americans to own firearms.]]
Exactly- but they are goign to get away with it almsot compeltely uncontested too-
[[Lock up the God-forsaken mental cases and work to either rehabilitate them or keep them out of society.]]
That’s not hte solution (well it’s an obvious no brainer ot lock away TRULY insane people- however, what cuomo is proposing is that everyone who owns a gun be given mental health evaluations apparently so the governemtn can then ‘legally take away their firearms because the evalution determiend that the gun owners ‘might pose a risk’ to society’
cuomo’s lawyers (I’m assuming it was his lawyers, as he’s not smart enouygh himself to coem up with hte idea) foudn a major loophole in the constitution because hte constitution did not specifically state that even peopel with mental problems shall not have hteir rights infringed upon, sand they are now succesfully no doubt, goign to exploit htis oversight
Either the gun owners of NY are goign to have to form a coalition and go out in force and declare that they will NOT be subjected to uncosntitutional evaluations and gun restrictions, OR, they ARE goign to lose hteir rights to own guns- it’s coming NY- You are abotu to lose your right to own a gun, and worse yet, you will now be subjected to mental health evaluations agaisnt your will which you will no doubt fail per order of the govenrment of NY.
VT or NH used to have a motto they lived by that aid ‘live free or die’, but I see that is no longer a motto that they live by- Theey shioudl just change hteirm otto to ‘Everyone, please, just do what the government tells you, or die’
See post # 61
“constitution did not specifically state that even people with mental problems shall not have their rights infringed upon, and they are now successfully no doubt, going to exploit this oversight”
Due process clause, and any infringement based on their ridiculous mental health evaluation tests doesn’t even come close to proper due process.
