I thought mental issues automatically prevented gun ownership. (statement by another FReeper)Only when a person is adjudicated mentally deficient by a court of law. IOWs you get the due process of facing your accusers and your own lawyer to rebut the accusation.
I hope that doesn't change but Red Flag Laws are doing their best to overturn that so your aggrieved spouse, neighbor, co-worker, employer, online screwball can file a complaint and have your guns permanently taken from you.
It may seem like a tough thing that you can't take guns from someone with mental problems without going through a formal legal procedure like that but answer me this ... do you think they'll be taking guns from trannys or conservatives with those laws?
Supposedly the governor of Tennessee has some prsonal connections to people involved with this tragedy so get ready and bend over Tennesseans.....you’re probably going to start losing civil rights.
