It doesn't matter how crazy the courts would classify this guy, assuming they still leave him on the street,
he still legally gets the shotgun,
because the gun lobby won't allow sufficient expansion of the background check laws to prevent it.
Gun grabbers dont want it to be a court, they want it so any shrink could call into the ATF and ban someone from owning a firearm without even knowing it.
Show me a program that is limited to court adjudicated orders to prevent someone from owning a firearm, and Ill support the background check inclusion required.
Show me a program where any asshole can declare you mentally deficient and prevent you from aquiring a firearm, and Ill oppose it.
Are you feeble minded?
I just said, it doesn't matter how you classify someone as mental,
they can still go buy a shotgun LEGALLY without a background check, and the gun lobby will have it no other way,
so it doesn't matter how crazy you are, unless you're locked up, you can buy a gun.
Classifying someone as "mental" is not a legal term. What I want is if you want to deny someone the right to a firearm bring them in front of a judge and adjuicate their rights away. A court judgement is something a background check should pick up, and would be supported as a check if a court did the determination.
What the NRA doesnt want is some ATF flunky having the ability to deny someone the right to a firearm.
