General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Why anti-gun laws will never work in US [View all]Post all the cites you want. They don't trump federal law either.
Is that an nra talking point too?
"As a condition of its support for the measure, the National Rifle Association extracted a concession: the inclusion of a mechanism for restoring firearms rights to those who lost them for mental health reasons."
Also from your cite:
"But the most prominent gun-control organization, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, ultimately supported the bill."
Is quoting that fact from YOUR source an nra talking point too?
I guess that makes them complicit, right? And just as bad as the nra in this instance, Assuming you apply your...standards...evenly, which I'm oh-so-sure you will.
"A few states have set stricter standards. In New York, decisions are made by mental health officials, and applicants must submit a long list of documents, including five years worth of medical records and records of psychiatric and substance abuse treatment going back 20 years. State officials can also require applicants to undergo clinical evaluations and risk assessments."
That quote from YOUR cite, would appear to apply to new york.
Is that too much of an nra talking point for you?
"So far, there has been only a trickle of petitions in states with new restoration laws. The statutes are not yet well known, and federal authorities have yet to certify many of the state programs, making them fully operational under federal law."
Oh, look, a quote from your source that supports what I said. Let me guess, another nra talking point, right?
I'd hand you a shovel so you could keep digging, but it appears you're already using two of them, and couldn't possibly dig any faster than you are.
