Why Red Flag Laws Won't Work.

[Brian37]

I got it..


"A person who wishes to purchase a firearm"


STOP RIGHT THERE......

I am tired of the bullshit sold by the firearm industry and the NRA that  it is a bad thing to say, "Who are you , and are you capable of handling a firearm and are you mentally stable" is a bad thing.

Again..... No airline would simply say, "Oh, you never crashed a passenger jet before, here is an instant pilot's licence on the spot because you have no record."

I am sick of the bullshit vilification that prevention is evil.

I want a microscope up the ass of anyone who is going to have me 40,000 feet in the air. Just like we vet our cops and military. 

I am not saying we should never sell firearms, but damn it, we make too many and we hand them out like candy.

I suffer from anxiety and depression. I SHOULD NEVER OWN A FIREARM........... Just like I should never fly a passenger jet.

Again, I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM  with firearm CEOs or shop owners if they gave a fuck, but they do not give a fuck.

*sigh*  I'm going to try one last time, then I'm out. You're just regurging the same stuff and not answering.

By some legislative miracle, you PERSONALLY are give the authority to create new firearms laws in the US.  You can't be overruled by any branch of your government on any level, and the laws you make can only be rescinded by plebiscite (say, 75%). You can create any rules you like regarding weapons types, ammunition, waiting periods - all of it (the only thing you can't do is completely eliminate the right to buy firearms).

NOW:  What specific rules would you put in place that would allow a gun shop owner to refuse a sale to a particular person who doesn't seem upset or agitated and who has no serious criminal record?

Boru

I am not going to play this bullshit game.

It is as simple as the CEOs and shop owners ability to give a fuck.

If you insist on handing them out like candy, because "no record", what do you want me to say?

If it worked like that, then since I have no violent felonies, even though I suffer from anxiety and depression, I should get a passenger jet pilot's  licence just because I want one. Would you or OLB trust me with your life at 40K feet? Would you trust me to be your local policeman? 

Neither you or OLB would hand me a pilot's licence just because I wanted one. 

I am quite sure both of you have looked at my prior posts in multiple threads and said to yourselves "He has a screw loose".

Cant have it both ways. Cant falsely accuse me of denying rights while considering my mental stability and wondering if I should have access.
