You may not have anything to tote around anymore.

My question is, why weren't guns being kept out of the hands of the mentally ill before this happened.

If you take the guns from the insane only the sane will have guns and then what will happen if we are attacked by imaginary pink elephants? Who will defend us?

Wait, if you were making cotton candy on top of an exploding electrical transformer, then who was that at the treaty signing?

I'm ok. When they released me I got a certificate to say I was now sane, so I will be able to keep the belt fed machine guns I use for rabbit hunting.

I don't have a problem with this necessarily, although I would like to see the specifics of the final bill. Problems in the past in regards to this came from both the left and the right. On the left is was from civil liberties people who don't want to dig into the files of mental patients, and from the right who don't want to impose any restrictions at all on the sale of guns. There is already something on the check forms asking regarding mental health however it is extremely difficult to follow up on this, partially, due to civil liberties concerns.

Australia's firearms laws (forced on all States by a centralist federal government) have a defined concept of a "prohibited person" which gives the anti gun people warm and fuzzies.

The irony I see in it is a good number of our legislators would themsleves be classified "prohibited persons" under the Firearms Act. How is these people get a say in what I can or cannot do or own :?

Don't you remember? A rabies-infested Chester the Tiger attacked you.

Hmm must have all been a nightmare because I walked into my kitchen just now to find
some knock off Cheetos brand that had enough trans-fats to give a whale a heart attack.
