Thanks for the bump.

This is the thing I hate about government list that are suppose to be in the interest of protecting the people.

It starts off with well we'll just keep list of convicted felons to make sure that they don't have guns, which everyone will support. Then it gets expanded to well we'll include people who have been involved in domestic disputes. And hey that worked so well we'll include people who have misdemeanors.

What you find in the end is that they never stop. They are not about protecting people but about establishing government control.

This is not a list of misdemeanants, it is a list of people who have been adjudicated mentally ill in a court of law and confined to a mental hospital for some period of time. I get the underlying principles of liberty, but it's already against the law for these people to own guns.

If you want to abolish the underlying laws against violent abusers, felons, and psychotic people owning guns, that's fine, but you should also admit that every time one of those people uses a gun in a crime, it works against the 80 million of us gun owners who are not, and it would work doubly against us if it were not illegal for those people to buy and own firearms.

The gun-haters were getting ready to make hay with Muhammad's AR-15, in preparation for the AW ban sunset, but it fizzled on them because he got it illegally.
