[QUOTE="ratski, post: 3788493, member: 936"] So here are some of my thoughts on the current "rush to do something" about firearms. I heard one talking head this morning saying that "we all have to accept the loss of some civil liberties" for there to be progress in "gun control." Well OK, then... I think that all records should be available during the background checks that are done for a firearm purchase through an FFL. By that, I mean ALL. All Juvenile records need to be available instead of closed or sealed. How many times would this have prevented a problem? All Medical records need to be available to be screened for psychotic/psychological issues. Especially certain medications. To include Medical Marijuana. All Federal records need to be searchable. This is to include all Military Medical records and police records. I'm not in favor of the current flavor of "red flag laws". I think that due process needs to be involved. Just saying "he's got a gun and is a menace" should NOT be sufficient cause to remove someone's firearms. Any more than saying "he's got a car and likes to drink" should be sufficient cause to remove someone's automobile. I'm sure that there are plenty more, but if "we all have to accept the loss of some civil liberties" then isn't it time that "we all" includes "all" and not just firearms owners?? I'm sure that this will stir the pot, but seriously, so many times something that was known before a tragedy could have stopped the tragedy. Just want to see... [/QUOTE]
