Default Re: mandatory mental health evaluation for gun-rights supporters

You want an answer? I think it is obvious, you want a gun, you are likely to fail any sanity test. If not, make the test so difficult that it takes a few hours and then makes the test mandatory every time someone wants to get close to a gun!

I mean we are talking lethal (strange intention assumed) instruments here, not kitchen gadgets! Leave guns to the government authorities and even they will be able to reduce the carrying of weapons if the access to guns are not allowed to people with mental disturbances. Again, the narrower the test of sanity, the better!

Better than leaving them to the one percenters!

By the way, I also agree that the government has legislation to get people driving to stop at red lights and go at green lights. Sort of seems pretty stupid to leave it to individual decisions!

It just shoes another facet of your bigotry. You judge people differently based on their job decscription. What properties of "government worker" make them so different from normal humans that guns are good for them but bad for not them? Why does one rock fall down and another rock fall up in the same environment?

Uh? If you mean the difference between legitimate government appointed, and therefor delegated with the authority, law enforcers, and an individual untrained and unschooled in either the law and/or gun handling, yes, I do differentiate! I guess you don't? You'd rather the choice be the quickest of the guns? LOL Watched to many westerns, grow up! If not that, I am not sure what you mean!

Legitimately, much more so than any individual property rights, since ultimately they all devolve from the government!

As for the second part of the question: [ QUOTE ]

In your dreams! LOL Going on this you will probably fail the sanity test hands down! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

No this is what you are saying. One for one human guns are good but for another human guns are bad. This is exactly analagous to saying one rock falls down one rock falls up. Unless you can show significant physical differences your assertion is invalid.

Not that I agree with Midge, but debating analogies of legitimacy with rocks which falls down and up IS stupid. Pick a real world example and stick to it, if you have a case it should work just fine.

Someone should just bring out the analogy to end all debate - two people are in a room, one is wrong and one is right, prove why.

Why? All I'm saying is you can't have a theory of morality that says something is morally good for one person while at the same time being bad for another person any more than you can have a theory of physics that says one rock will fall up and another will fall down. Neither of them are legitimate.
