I have to be honest with you, as someone with bipolar in the family, it would scare the hell out of me to not have any recourse in disarming somebody having a manic episode.
You’d need to live with full blown mania to understand the precarious situation a firearm in the mix would have.
So let me put it to you folks, should there be recourse to disarm somebody in mental distress? What should the criteria be for disarming somebody who is hearing voices?
Barkoff, I believe that what you are describing was the original intent and you are correct in what you’re saying.
The problems begin when these laws take on a life of their own and go far beyond original intent like most all restrictive firearms laws tend to do.
There are no easy answers to the issue.
