On the other hand, schizophrenia, paranoia and dementia do exist. People who have aural hallucinations and push strangers into the path of oncoming subways do exist. Do you want someone guided by “voices” to be armed?
Kadumbo...I get your drift...and I understand your confusion. I mean there are sooooo many voi...errrrr...choices to consider. On the one hand, it is going to “difficult” to effectively neuter 2nd amendment rights through arbitrary mental health screenings, regulations, unlawful executive orders, forced registration, etc., yet continue to fill buses at every special needs facility with the mentally challenged and demented to benefit the demonrats in upcoming elections. Its like...a double edged sword. Let’s call it a bi-polar sword. Say that you are gun grabbing, Obot worshiping slave to Messiah who must have the votes of idiots, illegals, and the cognitively challenged. To be sure, liberal thinking is such that, if you have the capacity (memory, thinking, language, judgment, and behavior skills ) to climb aboard the First United Mt. Zion Holiness Church of the Jump and Run (after, of course, someone kindly secures your name and address to your shirt pocket with a safety pin and hands you a free biscuit), it is perfectly prudent, acceptable, and politically correct that you exercise your RIGHT to vote!!!! And NO I.D required! Perfectly FIT to vote, not on a list ANYWHERE as a real person, yet perfectly FIT to VOTE. On the other hand, the veteran whose honorable service to freedom brings night screams or the police officer who experienced 30 years of automobile death investigations develops PTSD and both seek psychiatric care…both trained…both honorable…both smart enough to get help...now somehow not entitled to 2nd amendment rights due to a particular medication or diagnosis because a government bureaucrat says so?????? So many questions arise. Can you be fit to vote and unfit to own a gun? What takes more thinking, judgment, discernment, and control…owning a gun or voting? If I call him UNFIT and take away his right to own a gun, can I still call FIT the disabled, and mentally challenged so I can USE them to stack the big government vote? What is the “definition” of “FIT?” (deja vue Slick Willy) Ahhh, the political conundrum created by the less than transparent march towards the Communistic Nirvana of Dear Leader. Yes Kadumbo, so many questions...happy trolling....
