It’s brilliant A law saying felons can’t possess a gun would absolutely stop felons from committing any crimes with a gun.

You think that’ll stop someone from having an illegally owned gun moron?

They should make school zones gun free zones. People aren’t allowed by law to carry guns and thus shoot people there.

Democrats would just declare the desire to own a gun proves your mental instability.

Shall not be infringed.

And there's no damned way I would trust the modern mental health industry with this power.

Can we at least require some kind of mental screening for owning a gun and make sure that each gun is registered?
This statement calls onto question your judgement and lack of foresight. You'll fail a screening from a conservative psychiatrist.

Yes. I have anxiety and depression, but my life is worth defending.

It's not an unreasonable position on its face OP. However "shall not be infringed" is specific language. Furthermore, you can't give these liberal fricks an inch, they take a mile every time. They only have themselves to blame for lack of reform on this stuff.....because reasonable people can't trust them to actually be reasonable on any fricking issue, particularly the 2nd amendment.

Instead of a psych eval we need a reading and comprehension test.

It is a good idea in some alternate universe. But when you think through it doesn't take much sense. There are millions of black market guns. I have no solutions for the violence but a registry ain't gonna stop anything

As Australia has learned

A 2013 report suggested in a conservative estimate that there are a total of 250,000 long guns and 10,000 handguns on the illicit grey or black markets in Australia.

Guns were banned in 1996

So you want a government who labels moms at school board meetings “terrorists”, calls conservative political thought “hate speech”, and covers up their misdeeds by labeling them “disinformation” to decide who is fit to exercise their constitutional rights?

You want a government who believes that someone’s gender is completely made up to decide who is mentally ill and who isn’t?

Tell me you’re kidding.

Yes.

Maybe a mental screen? Otherwise, yes it is literally that bad.

Yes, we will all trust you and your ilk with decisions impacting our families' security

It's not hard. Half this country hates the other half. The half that wants the guns loathes the other half. The other half is not giving up its rights to a contingent that hates it. It's not happening.
