Blazzen] I could see banning people from owning guns who have documented mental illness, similarly to how felons can't purchase guns.
Ignore Rok. He's flipped into idiot shit talk mode again. Can't come up with anything worthwhile to say so resorts to personal attacks and shit talk.
They actually passed laws like this in California this year and contrary to Roktheory, I am all for it. There's also an assembly bill going through the legislature right now in CA that would allow for gun violence restraining orders. Essentially, if someone feels you are capable of gun violence, they go file the appropriate paperwork with the court. Just like a regular restraining order, a judge hears the case and if the petitioner can provide sufficient evidence to satisfy the court, the order is issued. At that point, the cops can legally come to your house and seize your guns. I am actually fine with this as well and I hope it passes. If this law had existed a couple months ago, Elliot Rodgers might have had his guns taken away before he killed people.
I think people that have a history of mental illness should not be able to own or purchase guns. Similarly, I think someone with a history of violence and/or who makes credible threats of future violence should have their guns taken away too.
