Colorado considers gun ban for people "suspected" of being dangerous

Fox News ^ | April 04, 2013 | ASSociated Press

[Repeal The 17th]

"...block people who are suspected of being dangerous from possessing a firearm..."

"...allow psychologists, nurses, family therapists and counselors to ask that a person's name be entered into the national background check system..."

[Bidimus1]

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation

Never been read in CO. I guess.

We need to stop sugar coating it. “the reason we own guns is to protect ourselves from those wanting to take them from us.”

Ooo, a slight rewrite would make things amusing:

“DENVER – Legislation that black people who are suspected of being dangerous from possessing a firearm is expected to be introduced in Colorado, setting up the next fight over gun control laws.”

Not terribly grammatically correct, but you see the idea.

The measure would provide an additional tool for mental health professionals short of having someone committed if they make this conclusion.

"We need to be concerned about people having guns who really can't handle them responsibly," McCann said Thursday.

"The main purpose of the bill is to identify people, because of mental health or substance abuse issues, who really should not be able to purchase and possess weapons."

I'm sorry but if the Democrats are going to go back to 1860 and start rolling back civil rights they need to commit people in order to do it or go before a judge.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

I agree. Probably a test case to see if it can be put into obamacare law.

[Rusty0604]

most counselors I’ve known are recovering addicts and/or have more mental problems than most. That’s what attracts them to that field.

The NRA knew that SB197 was unconstitutional (re. domestic violence accusations: restraining orders) and didn’t send us anything about it that I saw. But publicized NRA attention to the mental bill that bigwigs of both political parties have been screaming to get for years is a start. I applaud them for it.

Don’t allow the right of subgroups of Americans to be violated, or your Second Amendment right will be violated in the near future, regardless of how important or wealthy you may be. Sorry, but I’m being more blunt now.

Apparently, I wasn’t clear enough on this before and didn’t see it discussed. The socialists/fascists against the Second Amendment use emotion-evoking anecdotes, compromises and incrementalism to eventually get all the control that they desire. I saw what the same constituents did to fathers’ rights and family rights during the ‘90s and since, and how they did it.

Ever see the write up of all the congresscritters? Isn’t a hand full out of all of
them that should be left alone with a box of crayons.

With Obama and his democrats in power, most of the folks in this country are dangerous.

It will be found an unjust and unwise jealousy to deprive a man of his natural liberty upon the supposition he may abuse it.
