How is “crazy” defined?

I was reading some idiot thing about “militias”. The liberal writer thought that it would be a good idea, and that everyone with a gun had to join a militia. And get together twice a year to train and stuff.

“And then - you can find out the crazy guy that doesn’t fit in. You and your buddies are talking about deer hunting, and this guy comes along with a Confederate Flag on his cap talking about government intrusion.” (No - the article wasn’t satire.)

So yes - to a liberal, if you have Confederate flag - you are crazy, and shouldn’t have a gun.

This reminded me of another Obama era example of government defining people who it considered a threat

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano ...stands by the report, which lists returning veterans among terrorist risks to the U.S.

“This report appears to raise significant issues involving the privacy and civil liberties of many Americans - including war veterans,”

In her statement Wednesday, Ms. Napolitano defended the report, which says “rightwing extremism” may include groups opposed to abortion and immigration, as merely one among several threat assessments. But she agreed to meet with the head of the American Legion, who had expressed anger over the report, when she returns to Washington next week from a tour of the U.S.-Mexico border.

Would we take firearms from them too?

Had Hillary been inaugurated, I suspect this would be ample reason to suspend Second Amendment rights for those named.

Slippery Slope!
