Brady Act Invoked to Prohibit Divorcees From Owning Guns

Ah, it's the single life for me!

Talk about your unintended consequences: another attempt to rescind the
Second Amendment may just erode the diminishing inclination for the American male
to utter that old phrase:
"Will you marry me?"

"Webber was aware of the recommendation for separate orders, but said it has not been pursued in Porter County because it would create too much additional work for the county clerk's office and there would be no financial reimbursement."

Ping.

You clearly haven't read Heinlein. Paraphrasing:

"In any sufficiently advanced society, civil servant is semantically equal to civil master."

We may be overdue for some societal devolution.

It is important to be careful when triggering the Brady Act, she said, particularly when it involves police officers, security guards or others who must carry a gun for a living.

Oh, but it's not as important when it's just a peon, I guess.

Porter County can be so damn backwards sometimes - I would have thought they would have fixed things over the years. I guess I was wrong.

[Travis McGee]

Not without a fight.

I think Brady is due to sunset but I am certain the Bush administration will keep it intact. Puke. It is worthless and achieves nothing. I would go through my entire litany of how criminals don't buy their guns legally anyway, but then I am preaching to the choir.

James Brady was a good Republican, but his brain injuries were severe enough to turn him into a Democrat.

[Don Joe]

QOTD!

Just one more victory for the ex and his/her lawyer

[Cogadh na Sith]

When individuals are involved in emotional situations like these it often makes very good sense to remove the temptation to give in to a very bad--albeit transitory--impulse. One of my parnters does domestic cases and is very happy when the judge orders the parties to surrender their guns until the stressful period subsides and they are not tempted to cause harm to an adversarial spouse or the lawyer(s).

You've got to be sh***ing me.

Even if I have no history of violence, no record, nothing--you are happy because some P!ssed off chick can deprive me of a constitutionally protected right.

I will never, ever, under any circumstances surrender my firearms voluntarily.

Will you be equally happy when a simple divorce turns into some kind of ugly standoff when the jackbooted thugs come to seize firearms?

Do people actually meekly give up their firearms? Like sheep? I can't imagine how anyone does that. Why hasn't anyone fought back? I can't believe it....

I can't believe it. FMCDH!

[Mr. K]

You are right- Men, protect yourself- women have the advantage- no matter what. My ex had me arrested and I was forced to move from my home and children DESPITE the fact that I had EYEWITNESSES that I was not even home at the time she claimed I assaulted her...

Women- you should not be happy when other women do this kind of stuff, it does not help solve the real problems

[AdA$tra]

We know that a police officer would never lay a hand on their spouse.

You must be a psychic, or at least have called Miss Cleo:

How is this a victory for the EX?
