How nice. Somebody gets an insect up their anal passageway and all that you own and have collected through the years is seized.
The left is trying to think of ways to take all LEGAL guns from honest, non-violent people while leaving them in the hands of violent criminals.
“Most people agree that guns shouldnt be in the hands of mentally ill or mentally unstable folks, the question is how to remove mentally ill or unstable folks from their weapons,
We really shouldn’t let these lefties get away with framing the issue in this way. If mentally ill people are not responsible enough to handle firearms, then those mentally ill people need to be in treatment, where they can’t harm society. The solution is not to futilely try to keep them away from firearms, or to futilely try to childproof the entire world so they can roam free.
Interesting inclusion of a couple of phrases:
“family and friends” = Anyone
“Mentally unstable” = Veterans, conservatives, tea partiers, etc.
Amen.
So your crazy ex-girlfriend can now have all of you guns confiscated by just saying so.
Oh, yeah... That’ll work.

Pre-crime to nullify the Bill of Rights.
Next: potential “hate speech” by a blogger could justify a precautionary confiscation of his computer equipment and research materials.
from what I have read he never met the standard of being a “threat to himself or others” to the point of being involuntary committed. Certain key phrases must be used and confirmed
Even if he had confessed to being suicidal or having murderous delusions it might have earned him 3 days of inpatient observation (cash upfront please)
but this kid knew the standard and was adept at hiding his inner urges and agenda, appearing pleasant and polite and cooperative when the police came knocking
That he snookered so many therapists over so many years is less palatable and I believe there was medical malpractice there
Not weird Fascistic . Do you think for a second that Republicans would use this against Democrats? But you can bet your coffee house communist nephew will gladly try & use it against you.
His mother was worried? Why didn’t she go get his guns herself?
After all that he posted on YouTube, if they could not figure out in three days he was a threat — that he was mentally disturbed, every single one of their shrinks should have been fired.
I suppose they think we should blame knives and cars as well as guns. Since their little coddled boy could not have possibly done all this without the help of those evil devices./s
Maybe because of all the flakes in California you actually have to attempt to kill yourself or others to be considered a threat. But here in Florida, family members who fear a person is a danger can go to court and have them committed for evaluation. Those YouTube videos would have gone a long way in getting him removed from the general public.
If we've learned nothing else from the JBT threads, we've learned that cops "feel threatened"!

Our ability to protect our communities from psychos has been completely removed.
...so, you’re out caulking your windows with the caulking gun and up rolls the SWAT team because your neighbor was “concerned”...
You spelled inoculate correctly. A+++

This guy’s expressed the best view of this new bill so far, and called it out for what it is.
