Well, what’s wrong with keeping guns out of the hands of crazy people? It’s a noble idea isn’t it?
Answer: HELL NO!
Why: Who makes the determination that YOU are mentally incompetent and how? How would you protect yourself against something like that? What could you possibly do to correct the diagnosis? Would failure to “toe” the political correctness line be a symptom of mental illness?
Answer: YOU WOULD BE TOTALLY SCREWED WITH NO RECOURSE!
How soon do we forget about the communists dealing with resistance by using mental hospitals to contain those who did not agree with their policies.
I 100% agree with you point: who makes the determination, why and how.
For instance, I take a medication to control my BP. Its other uses are for ADHD. Given over reach by the imperious government, someone would look at that and say, whoa, we have a mental illness i.e. no guns for you.
