I don't see the NRA siding with this. Remember that the school kid that got the guns as a present from his parents, the teachers caught him with pictures of him shooting his classmates, but he said he was writing a video game.JoeMemphis wrote: ↑Wed Jul 06, 2022 5:44 pm I don’t have a list on me. I would think it would include things posted on social media, statements made to friends and families, encounters with police, personal circumstances, access to weapons etc. If a judge is presented with enough evidence that leads them to believe you might be a threat to yourself or others, then I think that would justify the temporary removal of weapons until such time as the individual no longer presents a threat.
Now are kids playing Call of Duty going to be turned in? One of our problems is that this makes everyone spies on everyone else.
And we don't have enough judges now, and we're going to demand that they see what's in someone's heart and decide whether they can pack or not.
To me, there are real things we could actually do. First, we can say that people under 21 can't have high-powered weaponry. Second, we need to get rid of the gun show loophole, and hold people that make straw purchases legally responsible for the weapons the re-sell.
We should probably look at requiring liability insurance for gun ownership.
