Any chance you'd once reply to something without kindergarten level name calling, insults and general douchebaggery? I'm running out of doubt benefits.

Professionals in the field (psychology, sociology, criminology, policy etc) are better equipped to say exactly which markers should determine the policy, but just because the current policy isn't perfect doesn't mean it can't be made better. People are innocent until proven guilty, sure, but that doesn't mean certain high risk behavior couldn't temporarily limit one's rights.

Such a convincing argument.

No, it's a completely separate issue that can be decided completely independent of measures against school shootings.

And no I don't think it's ok, and no I don't belong in America that's why I'm not there. Any other hyperbole and strawmen you want to get off your chest?
