It stands to reason that if an individual has been determined to be too unstable, too dangerous, to own, possess, or hold weapons....

Then there should be jobs that person should not hold, places that person should not be.

Like a teacher, mentor, advocate, pilot, flight attendant, or anything involving kids or having some control over groups of people (like being a politician). Meat cutter in a food store, private pilot, boat owner, and why should that person have access to gasoline?

This issue would be a good one to make amendments (poison amendments) to any “mental health” gun control bill. Imagine a liberal teacher losing her job because 35 parents wrote notes about her “stability”.

An idea that has been kicked around is that an entire household must be gun-free if one member has been deemed to be ineligible. next would be apartment building or neighborhood! After all it’s to save the children.

Of course, all of those things are dangerous – but for the national cadre of socialists there is but a BIG difference – guns can be used to resist their tyranny.

We don’t think of such things because we’re not budding tyrants – it’s takes a certain mindset to consider these issues as they do.

If a person is adjudged insane and for that reason incarcerated then there is no reason to make it illegal for him to possess guns. Passing laws to make it illegal for the unstable to have guns invites big time the definition as unstable of everyone who does not conform perfectly with the liberal requirements. The confiscations would get underway quickly as friendly judges used their rubber stamps on the piles of prefabricated "judgments"
