BZZZT!!! Wrongo! It's also the system used for committing people who have committed no crime to mental institutions. It's called DUE PROCESS, a standard that has existed in law from before the Second Amendment was written.
What you're proposing is applying this to people who have NOT commited a crime, but rather you're imposing prior restraint on people who are not guilty of any criminal activiy.

We do have mental hospitals in this country. There is a process for putting people in them and has been for over a century. Not everybody who is crazy is incapable of functioning in free society, to a degree. I have an ex-step-sister for example, who has been mentally retarded from birth. She has a custodian. She may not drive. Yet I have seen no significant abuse of that system. Are you telling me, that she should be free to bear a firearm anywhere she chooses?
Yes, any system is capable of abuse. Just because it is, doesn't mean we shouldn't have one. That's what the vigilance of the people was all about.
pathetic. Was it my typo that caused your complete lack of comprehension of my post? Must be, since you're completely clueless, and your torturing of the concept of due process bears no relationship to what it really means. Oh and BTW "bzzzt" is not a word.
Are you telling me, that she should be free to bear a firearm anywhere she chooses?
Yes. Absolutely. The price of freedom. I reiterate what ben f. had to say to you and your elite companions - the 0bama voters and other Democrats
Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safetyI guess you didn't understand it the first time. You probably won't understand it now.

Perhaps this issue has long ago been addressed? I wonder if the legal concept of “minor” as compared to “adult” already covers the issue of a retarded adult, who is the ward of a non-retarded adult having the right to own/carry a firearm.
IIRC, in most states, a minor does not have the gun rights of an adult.
Would not the responsible adult carry the liability if the ward shot someone? Is there a lawyer in the house?
