This is the big issue, stripping rights from a blanket group of people with no due process. Those that have a problem with it might want to take a closer look at themselves and their beliefs.

And the Social Security Administration has no business being involved in gun control schemes.

I know one thing, if you are feeling a little nutty and fear losing your guns you aren't going to tell anyone a damn thing.

I'd be more afraid of a crazy person in a truck than one with a gun.

The same goes for someone with mental illness. If they are too dangerous to own a firearm, why are they allowed to drive?

Dangerous people should be behind bars. Anyone else should have the same freedoms as Bob, Joe, and Sally.
Been there done that...

You guys seem to live in alternate universe where the only people out running around are mentally sound. We are talking about people who are too sick to hold down a job, or even manage their own disability check. They maybe should not be running around, but they ARE, and we can only act on the reality that we live in.

This debate is starting to remind me of the birth control debate where some people keep insisting that instead of providing birth control, we should just expect everyone who isn't ready to have a child to stop humping. That's is never going to happen. Maybe it should, but it is not going to, so you mitigate the situation be cause that is reality.

We just don't live in should.

It sounds like an accident, but I just heard a vehicle ran through a high school marching band in Gulf Shores Alabama.

That puts you BELOW the worst of your side.
Wow - - your reading comprehension skills are awful. You might take that as an insult. The original statement was meant as a positive because there are many disgusting Sandy Hook deniers.

In 1850, if the slaves had rifles, shotguns, cannons and pistols, would they have been called slaves?


Think about that, when you wish to disarm me, of the very weapons your Masters have.
