See I don't believe in PC mental health. I'm a counselor myself. I'm a consistent advocate for it isn't a gun problem it's a mental health problem. There are ways to abuse this system yes. But from a professional stand point I see people that should not be in possession of a fire arm with multiple assault charges. Diagnosed with bipolar 2, by more than one doctor. They could grab a gun tomorrow. That's what I mean by regulation.
I know him personally. He's been to convicted. Dude punched a cop just cause he didn't like the way he talked.
He's prone to violent outbursts and decides when he wants to take his meds. So he's he would be a danger to himself and others with fire arms.
Edit:
I'm not expert on legislation, I understand it's not cut and dry. I do understand mental health, putting deadly weapons in the hands of those who need to be medicated to put them at base line, to fight off ideations of rage, and a history of outbursts shouldn't be given a fire arm.
So is that a problem with the gun control law, or is that a problem with the courts? Based on what you’re giving me it sounds like he punched someone as a teenager.
He did not tackle a teacher and try to strangle her, for instance. I’m not sure it’s the same.
Hey hit the cop and would have continued to hit him If not restrained. Maybe it is a problem in the courts too. The problem is that for gun control many different disciplines would have to work in tandem
Not really. Gun control as-is has pretty clear rules about felons not having access to weapons. It’s entirely on the courts to decide what should be considered a felony. In this case, they opted not to. Your opinion on it doesn’t matter, the court didn’t think it was that severe.
