[QUOTE="Rajder, post: 1183531, member: 11636"] I can give a real world local example in which I think my viewpoint is supported. I know an old man who live in Ponca City who lives by himself off of social security and is very senial. He cant really get around and can't really take care of himself so he has caregivers come over to his house daily to take care of him. He also had a house full of guns and would often snap and start yelling and screaming at the caregivers for no reason, kick them out of the house, and many times threaten to shoot and kill them. It all depends on the mood he is in that day and the caregivers have no idea what to expect when they go in there. He finally threatened to shoot people enough times that the police came in and confiscated all of his guns from the house. Now, he still threatens to kill people all the time, its just now he has no way to actually do it and is just a crazy old man. But at least he isn't a crazy old man with a gun. Now lets say theoretically your wife was one of his caregivers. And he technically hasn't committed a crime and is just exercising his constitutional rights of freedom of speech and gun ownership. Are you OK with your wife being is a house alone with a crazy old man who has threatened to shoot her and you know he has a house full of guns? The constitution says he has a right to all of those guns. And up until now everyone has just written him off as a crazy old man who says things that he doesn't remember. But would you be willing to take the chance with her life betting that he will never followed through on his threats? I for one would not. [/QUOTE]
