I have to disagree. This is not something we can leave to “friends, neighbors, family, and clergy”. First, too many instances, such as Newtown, where Mom was complicit and died for it. What about the loner? Or, say, for example, the Texas church shooter? He killed the family and clergy. No, these people need to speak up yes, but if they haven’t taken the guns away, the state needs to do so.

"but if they haven’t taken the guns away, the state needs to do so."

It's called a court order enforced.

But realize the first shmuck who's wife claims abuse, real or not, the right to the second amendment is now null and void.

I sure hope you never make enemies with a neighbor? One who is anti second amendment and claims you threatened him or her?

If there is a felony conviction, the conviction should include the transfer of guns to an estate attorney for temporary or permanent disposition to a lawful recipient of choice. The arms should not be surrendered to the state!

First, too many instances, such as Newtown, where Mom was complicit and died for it.

Strongly disagree. Yes the mother of Adam Lanza was grossly irresponsible and her prize was three shots to the head. But the father was worse. Just kept shoveling her $14k a month (IIRC) and took no responsibility for the consequences. If you are a male, in that position, you must stand up and take responsibility. No ifs ands or buts.

I agree. I don't know what world some of the people posting here live in if they think everyone has a strong and established network of friends, neighbors, family, and clergy looking out for their best interests. I swear, some people here need to turn off the Andy Griffith reruns and take a walk outside from time to time. It's a different world these days.

I don't know why there's pushback on this. I'm an NRA member, Trump voter, 2A supporter, and owner of more than one "assault rifle" as the media incorrectly refers to them as. At the same time, I'm a father and I'm also pretty damn sick of these life's losers who fall through the cracks, spend all their time on the internet nursing grudges being able to waltz into a gun store, purchase an AR-15, and mow down people just for the hell of it.

Yes, I realize these confiscation policies have the potential for abuse and that requires vigilance. At the same time, their needs to be a way to keep weapons out of the hands of these piece of s**t losers who are using them to slaughter innocents.
