Who gets to decide who is or isn't mentally stable enough to own a gun?
Slippery slope here.
Not at all. This has been the case forever in the US. A court decides that. Ethan Edwards is saying, though, that this denial of rights only may justly persist for the period of confinement. Once someone is released from a psychiatric facility, he is back to being a free human being, with all the rights attached thereto, guaranteed by our Constitution. This means that anyone who is deemed by the courts to be untrustworthy (due to criminality or mental defect) with a gun should remain in confinement till they are deemed otherwise, because the RTKABA attaches, in the US, to all free people who are of age, and this right is unalienable.
