We all agree the "mentally ill" should not have access to guns.
The ACLU will protect the rights of the mentally ill to privacy.

Do we want the government to decide who is mentally ill, and what medicines they should or should not take? And when law enforcement has the authority to remove their weapons? Progressive already believe evangelical Christians are mentally ill, and teaching children about Jesus is a form of child abuse.

I'm afraid it is hopeless. States locked in a progressive ideology will continue to remove gun rights while sacrificing their children to that ideology by refusing to make schools safe.

EVERY school that is not in some little aldea in Central America is behind a 12' wall topped with razor wire and with one metal door for entrance and exit manned by a guard with a SMG or 2 guys with Mossberg pumps. Add metal detectors and problem solved.

Economic punishment for "wrong thinking" will worsen. Gun owners will migrate to the Midwest, South, Mountain West and SW while the NE and much of CA devolves into "A Clockwork Orange" dystopia. Pray for our nation and our grandchildren, and vote in your local elections.
