” None of us want a domestic violence abuser or felon with a firearm. That’s something both sides can agree on.”
Wrong! There are a ton of people that have lost their 2nd amendment rights based on nothing more than disgruntled spouse in a divorce and no evidence of abuse at all.
Nothing like a pissed off lying ex to possibly ruin your life.
And it doesn't even have to be a spouse. Our youngest daughter got into a heated argument with her BF in his apartment, which they WERE NOT SHARING, and he called the cops. They 5150’d her and the next thing we knew she was in the County Hospital Psych Unit. The psychiatrist said that he saw nothing wrong mentally with her and she was released to us in a matter of hours. That said that 5150 prevented her from purchasing a firearm for five years! The real issue here with the RATs is to try and throw as many legal monkey wrenches into the ability of a decent, law-abiding citizen to possess a firearm of any kind. The massive numbers of firearms in private hands constitute a real threat to the RATs should they ever succeed in wresting complete control of our country from its Constitutional underpinnings. By their actions, you have to know what's really on their minds.
