Do you support people who hear voices telling them to kill being allowed to keep their guns?

[Lesh]

And here you are trying to come up with a scheme to make gun ownership harder. Next you will propose every gun owner needs to pass a mental health test.

It’s a scheme to keep guns away from people with the kinds of mental issues that make them exceedingly danger when paired with guns

 

[M14 Shooter]

There’s a gun problem. Half a billion guns floating around...

What % of those 500,000,000 guns were not used to kill anyone yesterday?
How does your answer support your position there is a "gun problem"?

If you are a danger to yourself and others with a gun, you are also a danger to yourself and others w/o a gun.
The threat to yourself and others is YOU, not the gun.
Thus, you should be taken int custody.

I’ve never seen a gun kill anyone.

There is a simple solution to that. Make psychiatrists and psychologists mandated reporters like teachers and MDs are for physical abuse.

Even simpler. Keep guns away from people with mental issues

Guns kill people every day

Tally up all murders caused by those things and compare them to gun deaths

Muslim terrorist in France murdered 86 people, wounded 435 with a truck more people murdered than in any mass public shooting here in the states

Guns kill people every day

Guns save innocent people more than that every day.

Americans use their legal guns 1.2 million times a year for self defense according to the CDC.....

Guns kill people every day

They do? Explain how.

They do? Explain how.

Hammer strikes cartridge causing explosive gases to push a projectile out of a tube. Projectile impacts humans and they die.

This is news to you?

Federal law already deals wit this,

 

[M14 Shooter]

Guns ... ARE USED TO ... kill people every day

Fixed that for you.

So, what;s your point?

 

[M14 Shooter]

Hammer strikes cartridge...

Hammer striking the cartridge doesn't do anything, except maybe damage the brass.
How is the hammer released?
And.... what about guns that do not have hammers?

I have never seen that happen without the intervention of a human being. A gun is an inanimate object. It can't kill or injure anyone.

Combine it with mentally unstable people and it’s murderous

No headway can be made on mental health without fully understanding big pharma's role and effects. So this whole issue is probably dead on arrival.

its not as simple as that,,

they have to pose an active threat to themselves and others,,

sure would like to know the real details of this guy and why they didnt take it to court to remove his right to posess away,,

Let's speak statistically and not to a specific case. you don't have to trace the causal chain far to see that from many similar cases the culprits are
1) The decline of intact families, which affects the generation of such people and the taking care of such people
2) The rise of perversion in society, unchecked, even encouraged.
3) the confusion of gun rights with totally unrelated phenomena. If you take away every gun from a guy like that you are left with "a guy like that" , this is what Biden never understands.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

The actual question is if people who are simply diagnosed as mentally ill retain their rights, or not?

The anti gun left widely holds the premise that those who have been diagnosed mentally ill are too dangerous to themselves and others to have a gun.
However true that may be, if these people are indeed that dangerous, then they are, necessarily, that dangerous to themselves and others, period, and should be taken into custody for the same reason they should be kept away from guns.

Should that be the case?
Why not?

This fails as a loaded question fallacy.

One is rendered a prohibited person when adjudicated as a mental defective or committed to a mental institution or subject to an extreme risk protection order pursuant to a warrant; absent due process one cannot be prohibited from possessing firearms.

 

[Libby von H]

depends on what the voices are telling them.

I can attach no firm meaning to your use of the word 'support'
There are killers who hear voices, them I do not want to have guns.
It is clear now that the Maine shooter can not be a cause for gun control.
And all you Biden fools should not ignore what he ignores

The FBI didn’t finish over 1 million gun background checks in time to stop a sale in 2020 and 2021​

As gun sales soared over the past two years, more background checks slipped through holes in the system.

Most people want laws already on the books to be enforced. THEY ARE NOT
