The NRA has it partly correct yet doesn't take the protections far enough...

Unless a person is mentally deficient enough to be placed on at least a 72-hour involuntary hold by authorities and then after having at least two mental professionals diagnosed and then in court adjudicated as such, they should not lose the right to keep and bear arms..NOTHING LESS IS ACCEPTABLE!!!


You act as if the only two alternatives are laws to your liking, or nothing. That's not how real life actually works. If you see that you are going to be in a car crash, and it can't be avoided, should you not still (when applicable) step on the brake to lessen the impact?


I thought we already had a law called the Second Amendment that pretty well covered it.
