Well I think you are saying that so called “ mental illness” is ambiguous and undefined.
It could be that after a jury trial, this guy should not buy a gun but that will not be just deemed by so called experts. That is a slippery slope beyond comprehension. I assure you that “deemed mental illness” in unconstitutional as hell and would end up putting Christians, “global warming” deniers and conservatives on the “list” . The constitution stops that cold. One great thing to compare with is legal guardianship for mentally incapacitated . In order to deny that person’s rights there is a full blown court trial with Doctors testifying etc. Notice and hearing due process. The ward in that guardianship proceeding is not only represented by separate counsel, but that counsel MUST resist that petition for incapacity vigorously. We are talking about constitutional due process when we attempt to deny ones rights and the media and lynch mob mentality today is in gross denial of that reality.
“Well I think you are saying that so called ‘mental illness’ is ambiguous and undefined.”
Without a jury trial it is unconstitutional, as you suggest.
However, I am supportive of a reasonable compromise. Liberals should not own or use guns.
Liberalism truly is a mental disorder.
