I just explained it as clear as possible to you and you STILL don't get it.
So do you think Felons and people who are guilty of domestic violence should be able to buy guns too?
Not once have you addressed my point on due process even though I say that back to you every time.
I've said if you provide people due process, you can remove their right to buy a gun.
Stop dancing away from that and address it. What exactly do you disagree with on that?
There is no DUE PROCESS with what I posted. The people were PROVEN to have a debilitating mental illness that they get a government check for disability.
I guarantee your position would change quite quickly if someone with mental illness shot up a building with your loved ones or friends in it, or someone you love with a mental illness committed suicide with a gun.
You're right. There IS no due process with what you posted. That would be the problem.
Those people proved that they are sufficiently qualified for a government entitlement program. There actually IS a level of due process of law there, since the standards that must be met to get Social Security benefits are set by law. However, THAT due process and those laws are something completely different from the due process necessary to strip someone of Constitutional rights.
I guarantee YOUR position would change quite quickly if it were YOUR rights that were going to be abrogated on the say-so of a bunch of bureaucrats and their lists.
In order for those people to get approved for disability, it most often has to go through a hearing. According to YOUR definition, that counts as Due Process.
That you claim to have a BS in criminal justice then would be so vague.
First, the hearing must be by definition a JUDICIAL hearing. The executive branch has hearings and those are not due process BY DEFINITION.
Second, hearings cannot just remove your rights. It would be difficult to remove Constitutional rights other than on a temporary basis if they have committed no crime. Say you send them to a psych facility for 30 days of evaluation
I'm sorry do you need a reminder to post where in the Constitution it says a felon can not vote or buy and own a gun?
