A...You have really hit this on the head, and hard. A gun owner, who might have some small issues with mental overload, that normally he or she would take to his doctor or a mental health professional of some kind, now has to suck it up, or risk putting their name on some list that now puts them in danger of losing their gun rights at the whim of a spurned lover, an angry older child, a doctor who doesn't believe in guns at all, or a wife who is trying for full custody of the children in a divorce.<br />And of course the list is endless. Have a neighbor that is mentally unstable? Guess what, you should not have called the cops last summer when they threw that half wine bottle at your car while you were having a party with some friends. Because they see you going hunting and know that you own guns, and a made up story and a quick phone call, and now the police now have your collection of guns, some dating back to when your grandfather fought in the second world war, and one back as far as your great, great, great grandfather fought in the war of northern aggression, in above average condition, worth perhaps as much as 5-6 grand. <br />You hire a lawyer, and attempt to get your guns back, based upon the fact that your neighbor has a history of mental issues, and you are a well known and respected member of society. You actually win your case, and when you go to get your guns back, the Garand that your grandfather fought in WWII with has a broken front sight, and a big scratch down the length of the forearm. Your Civil War Rifle is missing, and when, almost a year later, it has been fired, and has a bulge in the barrel, with the stock near the breach having a never there before crack. Your 6,000$ family heirloom is now less than half that value, and your heirloom has significant less value to your family, now that some crack head has had their hands on it, and fired it instead of only your great, great, great grandfather having fired, both in the war, and in defending his family and in feeding said family.<br />Tell me again just how just this fucking law is supposed to keep anyone safe? Because, the way I see it, if a person, male or female, is not trusted to own a gun, because they are too dangerous and cannot be trusted not to go on a killing spree, then they should not be trusted to be on the streets at all. Thus the reason for having a real trial in front of a judge and possibly a jury, with lawyers for both sides, and medical professionals to help decide if the person should be incarcerated in a medical facility, and have his guns confiscated or if the entire thing is simply a sham, with the person filing these charges trying to get someone in trouble, which means that they are the ones who should be standing trial for filing false charges.pigpen51https://www.blogger.com/profile/01036907880805485560noreply@blogger.com
