I am a liberal so like not all liberals have a problem with the idea of enforced mental health care for people who are a known danger.
And for the record since the subject came up, I certainly don't mean mad doctor mutilation crap, I mean actual care. From caring professionals.
Like I got unwillingly put in a mental hospital for psychosis but I wasn't even a danger to others. And that's great, I needed it. I'm also not allowed to own a gun for five years from the last time I was in the hospital. Also fine. And yet people who beat their children, people who stalk and rape, people who are known to the police as dangerous don't get mental health care AND get to keep their guns. Madness.
"Known to be dangerous to the police" is pretty vague, but all of those other things make you a prohibited person when it comes to firearms.
I'm not sure of your point there? I already just said I can't own guns.
Most mass shooters have a history of threats and violence. Violence against women and children especially. If someone has threatened their neighbors and stalked an ex and beaten children and fought the cops and and and and... Why should they keep their guns?
They can't..... That is what I said in my post. Domestic violence, or a felony prohibit a person from possessing or purchasing a firearm.
I get you now, I was confused by the sentence.
And well, those things *can* get a person's gun taken away, but it's inconsistent. ---
