Re: Why we have a Second Amendment..Case Closed
Sounds like a good start to me.

Re: Why we have a Second Amendment..Case Closed
18th century French philosopher Cesare Beccaria wrote a great piece “On Crimes and Punishment”, I remember it because one of my professors told us about being selected by the Kentucky governor to serve on a penal reform commission based solely on him parroting different themes proposed by Beccaria. Our criminal justice system is so flawed it’s pathetic. One of the things set forth by Beccaria was that crime is not deterred by the severity of punishment but rather its certainty. Compare that to the “catch and release” mindset so common today.

Re: Why we have a Second Amendment..Case Closed
"Have you EVER been diagnosed by a physician or other health professional (for example, a psychiatrist, psychologist, licensed clinical social worker, or nurse practitioner) with psychotic disorder, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, delusional disorder, bipolar mood disorder, borderline personality disorder, or antisocial personality disorder?"
Now this question is asked on the SF86 National Security Check, why not on a Background check to buy a weapon. With 37 years working for the government and the majority of the time I held a TS clearance with CNWDI access. I have no problem being put under a microscope to have access to anything. |

Re: Why we have a Second Amendment..Case Closed
Quit blaming the gun and start blaming the person. I have been around and shot guns several times in my life. I have NEVER aimed a gun at person, empty or loaded.

Re: Why we have a Second Amendment..Case Closed
Eddie, gunners have no answer to that question. the thing they used to say was a good guy with a gun....... That is trash after Parkland, Uvalde etc....
When the good guys were pissin in their pants, cause it wasnt an unarmed guy they could abuse. Oh thats right guns do protect us. From the pisssie cops. Rick Last edited by Fireofficer74; 01-21-2024 at 12:01 PM. |

Re: Why we have a Second Amendment..Case Closed
You missed something, never blamed guns. My point is to deny individuals with identified mental illness access to weapons.

Re: Why we have a Second Amendment..Case Closed
Eddie, I totally agree that there are people with issues that should not have guns. When someone is shot and killed, the media blames the gun and not the person.

Re: Why we have a Second Amendment..Case Closed
Yet, if a murderous religious fanatic, crashes a jet aircraft into a building, drives a truck into a crowd of innocent citizens, or cuts the heads off people that they abducted, the blame is on the person, not the vehicle, weapon, or the group they are representing. Weird huh?
