Who's making that determination?? I posted an article yesterday where a shrink admits to having no justifiable reason to involuntarily admit a man to a psychiatric facility against his will. Yet she did it anyway because SHE decided that it would be cool if he weren't allowed to buy a gun.

I would rather let maniacs have guns than let doctors lock up innocent people and remove their rights without due process.

I simply can't believe how someone can be so afraid of their government and their neighbors that they'd rather give lunatics and convicted felons free access to buy guns, because they feel restricting that might lead to dem guv'ment comin for muh guns.
Lunatics can't get guns. If someone has been adjudicated as mentally ill, they can't buy a gun.

Convicted felons, can't buy guns either.

So what's your problem? Why shouldn't law abiding citizens be wary of further restrictions? If it's not to stop felons, or lunatics....who would the restrictions be for then???

Teh capitol police, which protects members of congress, is armed with semi-automatic weapons, high-ammo clips, and all that shit. So I have a real fucking problem with a member of congress saying "yes we need these weapons to protect us, but you don't need them to protect your family" That's fucking bullshit.
