If the ATF and FBI had more credibility in scrubbing these lists of people that should not be on it, then I would be in favor of legislation like this. I don’t think severely mentally ill people should own guns either. If they cannot be legally held liable for their actions, then they should not own a gun.

However, the ATF, FBI and gun grabbers have shown no credibility in scrubbing these lists. Because of this, I don’t want the federal government to be in charge of deciding who’s crazy and I don’t want them to be in charge of scrubbing these lists.

Because of their intransigence, we also have to be a bulwark on this issue.

I don’t think that severely mentally ill people should have guns either, but then I don’t think they sould be released into the general population also. If they are safe enough to be a part of the population, drive cars, etc. then they should be viewed as safe enough to have a gun. Same goes for criminals.
