Hi everybody! This is my first forum since BBs. Thank you all for your thoughts and observations. It’s always good to meet people who can use their own mind. I admit I didn’t read all the posts, so please forgive me if my concerns are not new, and please point me to the right place.
Here it goes. In 1996 Federal law forbidding gun ownership to home violence offenders came out and was introduced RETROACTIVELY. I could not find statistics on how many thousands of citizens lost their right to own.
Now we can expect new entries in FBI DB in regards to our mental well being. I would anticipate that the next group to lose would be DUI convicts. Makes sense because that would take care of about 10% of population (just a guesstimate). But how far the definition of mental illness can spread? I would not be surprised if prescription for Prozac at any time in your life would become a reason for disqualification.
To me all that looks like well planned, gradual disarmament.
And an observation: Soviet Union would probably still be here if not for the guns which found their way from Russian Afgan war to the hands of Russian citizens. Nobody was allowed to have any firearm in USSR (excluding double barrel SG with hunting license and registration).
What do you think?
