I'm very sure the writers of the 2nd Amendment didn't intend for mentally ill people to bear arms.

I'm very sure the writers of the 1st Amendment didn't intend for Freedom of Speech to include shouting "FIRE" in a crowded movie theater...and it doesn't...so what's your point?

Tens of thousands of gun owners, like Mr. Perez, bought their weapons legally but under the law should no longer have them because of subsequent mental health or criminal issues. In Mr. Perez’s case, he had been held involuntarily by the authorities several times for psychiatric evaluation, which in California bars a person from possessing a gun for five years.

I'm very sure the writers of the 2nd Amendment didn't intend for mentally ill people to bear arms.

This isnt a functuion of the intent of the 2nd, but a function of due process. Any right can be removed in this manner, including the right to arms.

Just wondering what you and your guns are going to do against the US military?

What the Iraqis and Afghanis are doing, only better.
