I think the current system is a reasonably large hurdle for getting many people adjudicated as mentally ill. The danger as I see it is this: the administration will claim that regular courts can't handle this burden and set up special courts to make the decisions --something like a FISA court, where such decisions can be rendered wholesale.mamabearCali wrote:In this instance I am with you!

1. Federal government defines the system to track those defined individuals.
2. The feds appoint the judges.
3. The feds define the mental illness.
4. The Feds run the background check system that approves the purchase of firearms by all citizens.
Wow. What was I thinking? There is no possibility here that the fed will use this arbitrarily. We can simply ignore all of the discussions on the fed ignoring constitutional rights to kill US citizens without warrant, without due process.
Good bill? With this administration? The term is oxymoronic. This government wouldn't know good legislation if it kissed them on the forehead.
NOTHING that comes out of dc is worthy of a bucket of warm spit (Thanks TAM!)
You can believe all you want about how beneficial this crap is, Beiruty. Don't think ill of me if I decide not to consider your opinion. The odds are grossly in my favor that I am right.

As I recall the soviets used "mental illness" to detain/disappear many of their opponents. I don't trust these wretches, not one inch. This is how it could go down. They grab a 2nd amendment blogger on some trumped up charge, find them mentally incapable of standing trial, and like magic all his guns are taken away and he is never permitted to own them again. All done without that person having any recourse......not good.

Re: Graham introduces background check bill with NRA backing
I can tell you exactly when the cry for more gun laws will stop: when owning a gun is illegal. Then the cry will be to ban bows, knives, and swords.killerfly128 wrote:I am sure I will catch flak for this but ... I have always been a supporter of closing the FTF sale "loophole" Too many dishonest buyers and sellers out there. It wont stop all gun sales to criminals, but it will stop quite a few.
Besides, this might be enough to quell the cry for more gun laws.
