Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Gun Control vs. Gun Rights

In Virginia it was a judge who adjudicated that the guy was a danger, and sent him to be evaluated. At that point the feds should have been notified and his name should have gone on the list.

This was a Virginia law/oversight that allowed him to not be flagged at the federal level, as I understand it.

Here's a link.. from CNN, but it covers it pretty well as I understand it.

Now on the reverse.. as an example, say somebody is taking medication which causes them to go off the deep end and get committed. Yes, this could happen in a very small percentage of the population with a lot of medications. Anyway.. once off and recovered, anybody know what it would take to get your name removed by the feds and be legal to buy guns again?

My worries are about liberal environments (say, California, Massachusetts or Illinois) using the legal system to blacklist gunowners.

Well I agree on most points. If I was a criminal I would be very careful which house or people I messed with if I knew they were armed. A criminal can bust doors down here in the middle of the night and rush the main bedroom and be 100% certain he will not encounter any gun fire. so that's what they are doing. If you try to protect yourself with a firearm of any kind, you will probably end up in jail and never be able to buy or own firearms again in your lifetime. That's what the Liberals have done for us up here in Canada. That's why I have 1/2 dozen throwing knives by my bed. A shotgun also. I won't hesitate to fire on intruders if armed but if unarmed I'd stick them full of knives. I'll probably go to jail but at least I will be alive and so will my family. If I wait 1/2 hour for police, or if they even show up. Many people have phoned in break ins in actual progress and the police say will be there tommorow. Great protection, isn't it?

Oh yeah gun control. If really works for me. Firm grip, correct sight picture and trigger control and you shold hit the x ring everytime.
