Should It Be A Privilege To Own A Gun In The US Instead Of A Right?

[Meister]

Certain mental disorders should never be able to own a gun. Psychosis anti social personality and PTSD with a history of acting violently

Agreed, and I'll also throw this addition out there and put it on the mental disorder list....Trannies.

My point exactly as if they shouldn't have the right to have a weapon isn't that more like them losing their privilege to?

Again it's pretty much a privilege anyways because if you commit a felony that right to bear arms is gone and if you're mentally unstable that right never existed in the first place. For most people yeah they should have that right to bear arms but not everybody deserves it is all I'm saying.

Again, you want to have some kind of all powerful nanny state enforcing whatever your Karen mind thinks up at the moment.

Okay then so what do we do about the mentally disturbed people getting ahold of weapons like I don't know... Tyler Robinson?

Remove HIPPA protections from mental health professionals and make them mandatory reporters. Then add their dangerous "patients" to the prohibited list. That would make it harder, the nutcases would then have to buy illegal guns, and the cops might catch them and lock them up before they hurt anyone. My preferable solution would be to reopen the mental asylums and confine anyone mentally ill with a propensity for violence against themselves or others indefinitely.

How Three Supreme Court Cases Transformed America’s Gun Rights​

For most of American history, the Second Amendment was a constitutional afterthought. The single, contentious sentence remained largely dormant in federal law, offering little guidance on its actual meaning. Courts rarely addressed it, politicians debated it rarely, and legal scholars treated it as something of a dead letter.

That changed dramatically in the 21st century. Three landmark Supreme Court cases—District of Columbia v. Heller (2008), McDonald v. City of Chicago (2010), and New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen (2022)—fundamentally reshaped American gun rights. Together, these decisions elevated the Second Amendment from legal obscurity into a robust, enforceable individual right.

It was always a robust right, to the point where until the twentieth century no one questioned the right of people to own firearms. Like many bad things, the slide began in the FDR years with the 1934 Firearms Act the regulated privately owned firearms for the first time.

Oh you're MAGA? Dangerous list. That is how that will work.

Probably.

Not that this would be a change from how governments have acted in the past.

Wrong. I am a conservative. HIPPA has been a disaster, it hasn't stopped releases of medical information due to criminality, and it has been used to hide criminality.

Can you support that

Hussein Obama decreed that Military Veterans could qualify for a PTSD mental incompetence pension regardless of whether they served in combat. The question for logical members of society is whether PTSD qualified Veterans who claim that they are so clinically incompetent to make rational decisions that they deserve a taxpayer funded pension are sane enough to purchase a firearm.

You want your doctor to revoke your 2nd Amendment rights because you take anti-depressants?

To make a long story short, you would advocate me not buying any weapons because I was given medication because I have trouble sleeping at night because of stress induced by being in a hospital for three months?

What about the weapons I bought many years ago? Would you take them away? What about my wife's gun that she would use for self-protection?

Sorry, I don't advocate opening that can or worms.

Why don't you run for Congress with that on your platform?
