That's right, a three-judge panel of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals rules that those whom have emotional and mental disabilities/problems, can now have firearms. Because apparently no one, including these three judges, remember what happened when some mentally/emotionally unstable individual walked into a small Connecticut elementary school with an assault rifle and butchered 20 little kids and their six teachers......

Should make all the gun nuts happy, since now, even with their 'lost grip on reality', they can keep and use firearms. To anyone else that lives in reality (i.e. Gun Owners, Concern Citizens, those against firearms, etc.), this is a step backwards. Since it will mean....MORE....firearm laws to research through. Since how we as citizens have to determine who is ...too unstable....for a gun, is like our knowledge of what 'DSM-5' means. How many of you know what that means without looking it up? According to these three judges, we'll just throw that book out the window....

And who were the judges?

Boggs, Siler, and Gibbons. Who placed them in this position? Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and George W. Bush (in same order). And what do all three US Presidents have in common? They are all REPUBLICANS. Since Republicans are HUGE fans of the NRA and gun industry, it stands to question if any or all of them had an ulterior motive. Funny that FOX News doesn't mentioned the judges and whom their backers were, isn't it? More so, could be argued this case was a setup all along to undermine decently established laws meant to keep the public safe from unstable individuals. Since more unstable individuals means more firearm laws, and sale of firearms/accessories (i.e. bullets), and, both sides battling out in a never-ending struggle for supremacy.

Rather than just agreeing that the unstable individuals in our society are at a much greater level of miss using firearms for sad if not tragic reasons, then society itself. This is what happens when we have greed trumping common sense.

they reaffirmed that people have the right to prove that they are no longer unstable, not quite what the headlines claimed.
Had they made the ruling you want to believe they did I would have totally disagreed with it.

Congress (1) chose to create a system for people with past mental commitments to regain their Second Amendment rights, but (2) then defunded the federal system and decided to rely on state choices whether to set up their own state systems.

If a state has not set up such a system then 2nd amendment rights are being infringed.

An how does one determine they don't suffer from a mental or emotional problem any further? Depression is one of those problems. Effects a sizable number of people in this country. You can't determine it by medical means (i.e. x-ray, physical examples, blood work, etc.). It takes a person trained in psychology a few weeks, if not, months to determine if an individual is suffering from Depression. There are signs of said illness (i.e. suicide attempt). But determining not just the form of Depression (severe, mild, bi-polar, etc.) and treatment, are not left to the untrained to determine.

Would you like to have someone unknowingly suffering an episode of Alzheimer's being armed and suddenly thinking your an evil doer? How about someone suffering from paranoia? Schizophrenia? How about the individual whom the main villain from the movie 'Silence of the Lambs' was based upon (i.e. not Sir Anthony Hopkins character, the other one)? How about the guy that shot and killed/injured a bunch of people in Arizona including Sen. Giffords?

If your getting the idea that mental/emotional disorders are hard to remove given current knowledge and technology; your on the right path of thinking. This individual, of the case, was placed in a secured location forcefully. Your not placed there....UNLESS...your a danger to yourself and/or others. Its like prison, except, without a jury. That person has to prove beyond a shadow of doubt, they have healed. That implies professional individuals putting their credentials on the line, to say, this individual is healed. Not many people do that; even in the more progressive parts of this nation!

So why did the government of Michigan not create a method by which an individual could obtain a firearm after suffering from one or more mental/emotional issues, and proving they were healed of said infliction(s)? Even though there are such laws in many other states? Why not go through the legislative process, in effect, petitioning the government to do something constructive? Because going to a court room, with a stacked room, to 'rule' in your political favor, by passes the legislative branch of government. And thus, having what you want, without the other party having a say in the issue. Pretty underhanded to perform. But Republicans have shown they don't have any dignity, honor, or 'Family Values'.....

When the 2nd amendment is so corrupted, you can have it mean anything you want. Including the opposite of what was intended by individuals some 220+ years ago....

And once again you ignore the fact that you at first acknowledged that they thought it was an individual right but that since you have greater wisdom than they had you know we have to pretend it never meant that.

And just how do you intend to regulate people with undiagnosed mental problems? I remember in the Georgia case you assured us that a Alzhiemers victim would never be violent.

Which Georgia case was that?

How do you intend to regulate people with unknown criminal intent from obtaining firearms? The difference between your question and mine, is the individual is not at fault for their mental/emotional problems. Would it not be a better idea to find these individuals whom suffer, and help get them treatment? Before they do something criminal? Or just hand them firearms and ignore the whole part of being a responsible society.....

Where does it say that they cannot?

I would also like to know where you get the idea that situational problems can never get better. The guy in question was depressed 28 years ago over a divorce and was involuntarily committed. His regular doctor and 2 shrinks both testified (or letter wrote) that it was a situational issue.

Do you really think that people never get over that kind of thing?

Are you really suggesting that things never get better? Because we tell depressed, grieving, sad, or suicidal people that they will. Because if that is the case why are we committing suicidal people instead of helping them off themselves?

I haven't checked the constitutional amendments, specifically but ...

We fund W.I.C.
We fund H.U.D.
We fund Obummercare
We fund Fanny, Freddie, and Sallie Mae

We fund lots of things that people consider to be rights (and probably are rights). How many times have the voices of the left decried the cost of a photo ID to vote, only to then go on and DEMAND that we pay for those IDs because $3 is a hardship (and I'd be okay with that, too, if someone truly couldn't come up with $3)?

Sorry, we fund lots of rights it's just that, lately, we only fund the "rights" that the left has deigned to declare or acknowledge or push or bastardize or ...

Actually it was not the right that was defunded in this case. It was implementing law that was defunded.

No...I come here either with stuff I didagreeceith or fissures with based on what I read. I dont skew what I read in order to get mad and present a case that is not what I say it is.

How could they create a law to handle an issue they have no knowledge about? Understanding mental and emotional disorders in the 18th century did not exist, let alone treatments or cures. The same reason, and just as silly: "Why didn't the founding fathers create an amendment in the Bill of Rights for Net Neutrality?".

Now that I've answer your question, can you answer mine?

Where does it mention 'situational problems' in the source?

It doesn't.

How would you define 'situational problems' in exact terms?

Is there a credible source that defines 'situational problems' in exact terms?

Is the word 'situational' even a real word?

The fact the man was committed to a secure location (in this case a hospital it seems), implies SERIOUS problems. In 'todays' terms would the individual have been committed? That's hard to say not knowing the exact details. Even harder to debate the issue, not knowing the evidence.

Where does it show his doctor and two psychologists have testified?

Actually, telling a person actually suffering from any of the Depression types "Things will get better', is one of the worst things to do. Since that person will ask you "When?" And now, you have to give an exact time and date (Depression suffers operate that way, believe it not). When you don't answer their question in an exact form, they distrust your viewpoint, and hold a less view that you can help them. Even though what your saying, "Things will get better", means you care about them and to simply hold on. They often don't take it that way.

There is a book I would....HIGHLY....recommend reading: "Talking to Depression" by Claudia J. Strauss. Its a book about helping those around the Depression suffer. You'll find it a very helpful book.

The reason why suicidal people are committed to a secure location is to keep them and others safe. To start the process of diagnosing the problem(s), give them a stable routine if for a little while, and establish a working treatment plan. And they are treated by individuals that have read the above book, or material similar to it.

The ones that come forward with cased on Depression, its estimated by several organizations in the medical community, to be only half the actual population suffering from this illness. That current knowledge and technology does not allow for an accurate testing process that can predict or clarify this or other mental/emotional problems exist. That we in the general population throw around terms like OCD, psycho, depression, and even paranoia; but could not give an accurate definition to these illnesses. Most of the population is not aware that there is a book that houses these and many others in one location: Diagnosis and Statistics Manual, Volume 5.

Would I like the person to be healed from mental/emotional troubles, so they could have a firearm? I would happy if they were healed, without strings attached. The desire to have a firearm or not, is for a different thread.
