That's just mean.
Karma, baby.

No, absolutely not (I don't claim to be a mental health expert) - however, my doctors and therapists (and I have seen - over the years, mind you - the best in the country) agree with me on this..... Look, I suggest you re-read Goshin's post (and carefully) - for it is, for the most part, right on. The key here is, of course, letting the DOCTORS make the decision, NOT the client....
Yes, with a qualifier. No if they have ever been convicted of any violent crime or are ineligible for a driver's license.
I'd be cautious about giving the docs too much subjective judgement authority. I'd prefer a set of objective standards with modest wiggle room and an appeals process in case one shrink isn't being reasonable.
I'll admit that this is difficult to determine (we need better psychologists)..
Non-lethal is the answer.
Lethal weapons for our police....this is where I feel the England is wrong..
And plenty of ammo and weapons for our hunters, plus open season on deer.
I don't know.......some people are ticking time bombs ready to go off......How do you account for them?
The problem is my friend you don't know when one of these guys will lose it and go off the deep end......then it is to late.
So you, of all people, want the government to walk down the line and decide who does and doesn't get guns? Really?
Driving a automobile is not a right it is a privilege given by the State. Possession of a firearm is a right that can only be severed by a court action. Anyone who has a mental illness that would severely distort a person's view of reality should not have access to firearms.
You want government to take away the Constitutional right of anyone who has had the smallest mental issue?? When did you become so anti-gun, my left-wing friend?
I own 4 guns including a WW1 45 caliber pistol......I thnk that answers your doubt on me and gun control.
:mrgreen:
Who said anything about the government doing it? Please don't put words in my mouth my left wing friend....thanks.
I say (emphatically) no - at least, not until they are pronounced 100% well and sane by a qualified psychiatrist. Just tired of hearing about mentally ill individuals shooting up schools/theaters, etc.
Thoughts/opinions?
Are there any particular criteria you had in mind to define "mentally ill"?
Every right comes with certain responsibilities so that the right is not abused for evil purposes such as the right to bear arms.
Just because you have that right does not allow you to commit acts of violence.
No right is absolute.
Thank you Captain Obvious. :2razz:
Ahahahahaha, now you're calling people left wing for opposing gun legislation. You're really all over the place. I knew I could count on you for a laugh.
Citizens can't use force to take guns away, I don't know what kind of magical situation you're imagining. Citizens walking around saying "I'm seizing your guns using my citizen powers"?
It's always the state using force.
I am always amazed by your posts my left wing friend and you better believe the people who are for gun control are lefties like you.

I think it depends.Not all crazy people are threat to the safety of others.
Define mentally ill, what if someone pays someone off in order to get somebody declared ill, and what if they use politics or faith as a reason? I have mild autism, which is NOT a mental illness, but under some laws people want I couldn't own a gun, when I own and shoot regularly.

I am proud to be for gun control.
I love disipline and order.
