[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 3786048, member: 1132"] Fine. You write the laws. Just know that if they even obliquely restrict access to arms by law abiding citizens, We. Will. Not. Comply. Authority without responsibility, is tyranny. No he's correct. It is not federally mandated for states to report adjudications of mental incompetence to NICS, because it would violate the 10th Amendment (not that that has stopped the federal government in other areas). Another reason is that there's no universally accepted definition of "mentally incompetent". The VA uses "to manage their own affairs" and that's set off a firestorm in the past. Definitions vary from state to state and states have varying degrees of capacity to accurately and effectively report. Remember when even the Dept. of Defense was failing to report disqualified service persons to NICS? There is no simple fix on that front, and even then it doesn't address anything except FFL purchases. Ding, Ding, Ding! Media persons are collectively, one of the dumbest subspecies of humans extant. They have no capacity for critical analysis. Therefore they should never be relied upon for accurate information or commentary. I think you mean ALL judges everywhere. That's how the system is set up. No one in authority EVER goes to prison in these events. Not administrators, not managers, not commissioners, not superintendents, not mayors, not legislators, not governors, not cops, not agents, not state's attorneys, not federal prosecutors, not judges from the city judges all the way to Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. No. One. There's no legal mechanism for it and there never will be. The entirety of all government authority have investigated this issue and declared themselves not it. All we have left is this: [B]Authority without responsibility, is tyranny. [/B] Sadly, pathetically, that just isn't true. It is excusable by them. They will excuse themselves and no one will be held responsible. As my dad used to infuriatingly say, hide and watch. :( [/QUOTE]
