In the divisive debates over gun control, here is something all factions should agree on: Deadly weapons should be taken out of the hands of those who have been deemed a risk because of felony convictions or episodes of domestic violence, mental health conditions or drug addictions.

As defined by who?
“shall not be infringed” ... so much for that one
“life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”... gone, as you’re not even allowed to protect your own life with these idiots
and bringing any if this crap to the courts is pointless, as we ‘don’t have standing’
Once they start down this slippery slope, who is going to make the judgment of who is a “risk” or mentally incompetent? Some fag in SF? “Look! He's former military! Danger! Danger! OMG! He's a hunter! We all know hunters are cold blooded killers!”
It all leads to "anybody that would even consider owning a firearm is dangerous!"
Let no free man be debarred the use of arms. Or something like that...
>>> Domestic Violence
It means San Francisco Police Chief can’t carry his guns.
Mirkarimi?
SF County Sheriff
Well, by liberals of course. (sarc)
You meant the City and County of San Francisco Sheriff not the Police Chief.
And how will they know what weapons this person who was 'deemed' at risk has? There would need to be some sort of list, wouldn't there.
Let's generate such a list by requiring every gun transaction be done through the federal government's NICS system, and keep track of who bought what. We'll call it a "Universal Background Check."
Confiscation will come INCREMENTALLY; the left is patient, as has learned that the very low and steady approach is best.
It will be crazy people first, then people with felonies, then folks with restraining orders, etc.
It will only be door-to-door with SWAT at the very end.
Add this little tidbit to yer plate...

This is geting rather surreal...
A Christian “clinger.”
As defined by who?
Precisely.
Expect the liberals to define wanting to own a gun as mentally unstable; that it's a mental illness.
Therefore you are automatically deemed unfit to own one.
So here we are: the state of California has “lists” of people who are not permitted to possess firearms. The writer wants the state AG to send out the troops to go get those firearms. Here’s the fun part: if they know of felons or mental patients with guns, why haven’t they arrested these people before? Answer: these aren’t felons or mental patients - these are trusting people who registered their “assault rifles” and now the state wants to come take them. Typically, Fascists grab power in easy-to-digest stages. One by one we hand off freedoms because is “doesn’t involve us yet”. All they have to do is shave more people off the “approved” list until their final objective is reached. They want all of us completely disarmed and completely subject to their power.
If they have been deemed a risk because of a felony conviction, do we allow them to have knives, baseball bats, cars, gasoline cans or tire irons?
Of course we do.
But they can maim and kill with any of those also.
With gasoline, quite prolifically.
Great idea! Start with Los Angeles. The LAPD has a lot of extra time and manpower right now, given that they’ve been idle for the last week or so. So right now is a great opportunity to start taking guns away from dangerous criminals. Seize the day!
If you are convicted of carrying a concealed weapon without a permit (bearing arms) you are now a felon who cannot have firearms at all. What part of “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed” do these people not understand?
And while they’re at it, they can deport illegally situated Mexicans and other foreigners who break our laws.
Therefore you are automatically deemed unfit to own one.
Joseph Heller wrote a book about that very thing.
