    Please explain to me the judicial procedure needed for depriving someone of their rights, you know, due process of law.

    We have another list of mentally ill, it's the list with the "D's" on the primary voter rolls.
    When someone brings up teaching morality in public schools, a Democrat always asks, which morality? Don't shoot people in Walmart would be a good place to start.

    A disabling mental condition does not mean inability to tell right from wrong. They could just be afraid of crazy "liberals," and spiders.

    The US Army considers sleep disorders a "mental health" issue. So, someone who has trouble sleeping and seeks help would be entered into the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. People will simply stop seeking help creating a bigger problem.

    You said racism can be considered a mental disease - is that fact or opinion?

    Hey guys, ever notice how the left can say something completely contradictory and not even consider the hypocrisy of what they say because they believe the rules are different for them?

    If the mentally ill can't own guns because they're to irresponsible to possess them, then why does the left insist that we allow them to breed?

    Tell the left you want to neuter and spay the mentally ill and watch the riots start and buildings burn.

    mental illness isn't a crime. What does any of what you said have to do with Obama treating mental illness as a crime? Why do you think it should be?

    A guy just killed 22 people to stop a "Hispanic Invasion". Did you think we're NOT going to talk about race? Get used to it. America has a long long history of racism, and it's not even close to being over.

    So would persons such as Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson not be allowed guns then? What about Tlaib?

    Hey, that is what Stalin, Pol Pot, Castro, Hugo Chavez, Ho Chi Ming, and Mao Tze-Tung said and DID.

    Oh, and I hate socialists. Yes, the "hate" is properly used. You just want to control everyone or kill them. You are a sociopath...

    Definition of a sociopath: Look for a lack of shame. Most sociopaths can commit vile actions and not feel the least bit of remorse. Such actions may include physical abuse or the public humiliation of others. If the person is a true sociopath, then he or she will feel no remorse about hurting others, lying, manipulating people or just acting in an unacceptable way.

    Would such legislation deter persons from getting needed counseling? This legislation could make sense for specific forms of mental illness.

    So how's this going to work? I have a diagnosis of panic disorder from years ago. Would that be a red flag? If I suspect a person I know has A) some mental disorder and B) guns, what should I do? Jesus, practically every person I know is messed up in the head to some degree.

    Common sense should tell you why, the more important question is why do you think they should be allowed to own guns?

    If for no other reason, than the simple fact that doing otherwise ultimately denies them their right to due process under the law. They are not informed of any charges against them, they are provided no opportunity to challenge the accusations against them or otherwise defend themselves in a court of law, and they have no way of effectively challenging the decision after it is made against them.

    Douglas Barker, they said nothing of the sort about the mental illness of racism and keeping guns out of the hands of such people.

    Be more introspective of your definitions, please.

    As none of the incidents who have committed these incidents were actually receiving social security benefits to begin with, the move by Donald Trump made absolutely no difference in the matter.

    We should all know the problem is too many guns and it's too easy to get the mass destruction assault weapons are capable of doing.

    Then leave the united states and move to the united kingdom if it is truly so much better. The united states is too far gone to do anything about.

    In a previous shooting ,Trump in a rare brief clarity, began to look at common sense gun laws

    however The NRA donates Million of $ to Republicans.

    Once Trump was " educated " ............... Trump flip-flopped on his stance

    Once the adults gain back control of the house of representatives, then we can get some real work done.

    Once we declare left-wing vitriolic hate spewed rhetoric a mental disease, then we can lock left-wingers up.
