And when Police can barely control that aspect, who are you going to send in to give them a slap on the wrist and say "No No's"? Imagine the lead you will be dodging on your way out...

Not just anyone who has PTSD or ADHD


PTSD should be at the top of the list...are you kidding me???


Not at all. And it is pure silliness to suggest it should be. To do so would mean just about every single combat vet should be disarmed.

Funny how you can tie so many things together.

Global economy on shaky ground, US Dollar eventually losing its reserve currency status, increasing debt, government labeling people as "domestic terrorists", attack on the 2nd.

Not hard to see what is coming. Also not hard to see what the agenda of this thread is.

What constitutes "gang affiliation"? I'm a member of Who Dat Nation, AAA, and a neighborhood softball league. Should I be barred from firearm ownership? How about we leave it at violent criminals and if they happen to be in a "gang", then so be it. I'm sure you didn't mean it as such, but some might take your above stated position to have racial implications.

The agenda of the thread is to see if political affiliation has more to do with gun control discussion than self and family protection does.
Sorry if that offends anyone, but there are 1035 threads chalked full of Liberal haters patting each other on the backs for giving anyone hell who doesn't agree with them.
I'm putting my hands in the fire. Flame me if you want, no worries

It depends on the cause, though. PTSD has all sorts of causes and thus many different manifestations.

What about PTSD due to a traumatic car wreck? Should that person be denied?

Do you see why lumping everyone with PTSD into the same boat could, potentially, be a really bad idea?

If the agenda is to discredit firearm advocates as "angry, extremist, ultra conservative white men", I'd say it is a fail. But, honestly, I do not know what the OP's agenda is. He/she could be "honestly" asking a question. As for agreeing with Biden's plans, no way Jose. The federal government should stay out of it. At most, have minimum standards for state mental health checks. All FFL firearm sales in the US involve background checks, which includes the vast majority of gun show purchases, and all online purchases. Enforce the laws on the books. No federal "mental disposition" (ie political disposition) bureacracy.
The proposed laws are simply irrational when critical thought is applied.

and that ^^^^ is an outright lie ... need proof ? link

and here i thought you said this was a 'serious question'

if you cannot keep your line of thinking within reasonable possibilities (3yr olds
) and the direct effects of existing laws, how can you expect to comprehend the proposed ones ??


As far as the black market goes, I don't think that it's existence should justify doing nothing at all.
you're entitled to your opinion regardless how wrong it truly is.

in this country, Liberty and Equality justifies doing nothing at all, not the black market.
