(377 posts)The current laws which are under no threat by the Supreme Court, allow a person to be disarmed for life if they have a mental health hospitalization or a judge's order declaring them mentally incompetent.
It is one of the things up for discussion if certain strengthening of this is appropriate, and what the details of that might look like.
The president of the NRA has son who is not allowed to bear arms for life by a judges orders after conviction for attempted murder shooting into another car at the driver in a road rage event.
Judge's orders can fully dissolve a so-called constitutional right, and the Supreme Court is fine with that and the NRA is not contesting that. Sonny was scheduled for release on ten year prison sentence last February.
It seems that the 2nd Amendment is not so absolute as even the NRA accepts and the Supreme Court is just fine with that, so maybe you should worry a little less about the sticky 2nd Amendment and Supreme Court obstacles. We might just go ahead and learn something about certain mental illness which are high priority to disarm the person pro-actively with court orders before the big shootout happens.
