Social security gun ban is coming :(
That is what the District of Columbia, City of Chicago and Commonwealth of Massachusetts believed, too. Still, I am left wondering how would the proposed Social Security Administration regulation affect the Due Process clauses in the Fifth and Fourteenth amendments, as well as the Equal Protection clause in the Fourteenth Amendment, if the proposed regulation restricted the Second Amendment rights of disabled recipients who use the services of representative payees?
Do you have an answer, or can you cite one?

i have bipolar disorder and will have all my life. i've taken meds faithfully and not had an episode since 1995. no one who has known me for the last twenty years would guess i had a mental illness were they not told. it's nonsensical to restrict ANY of my rights. if someone is neither suicidal nor homicidal (hospitalizable) i can't see where restrictions are anything besides scapegoating.
Next step is removing all their rights. After all if aspies are crazy and can't be trusted and are a danger to society at large. Why let them run lose. In the best Interest of the public to remove their rights and lock them up, and hey if they died while locked up all the better. Nazis did this same thing. They removed disabled people's rights, then they locked them up for publics safety then they exterminated them for the publics best interest.
Disabled people are not any more violent the others, so it's not in public interest to take their rights a way.
The only way what you say would be true is if aspies and other disabled were more prone to violence and the data shows that's not at all true. Most violent crinmals aren't disabled people.
People should only lose their rights after their day in court and being judged by a jury of their peers. DUE PROCESS!! ! ! !
Slippery slope fallacy.
I'm sure people in Germany said thst too. Everything's a slip plu slop fallacy until it happens to you. Who cares about other others right.

If you can't handle owning guns, don't own guns, but don't force your problems on others. I don't have your problem.s I am not you, you are not me, so I shouldn't lose my rights because you'd hurt other people.
Like most a it gunners he's projecting hi else onto others. He's prone to violent thoughts and so for so are others.
"If I owned guns I'd probably kill my neighbors, so therefore I'm afraid of my neighbor owning guns." I've heard this a quite a bit from anti gun people.
I've also seen lots of death threats from anti gun people. I think by and large most anti gun people are violent natured and project thst on society at large. Much like I use to project my naive and kindess on society.
I find it irritating a fellow aspie would label aspies as violent and mentally ill. The Stigma the autism groups have been fighting to remove forever. He probably thinks we're all mass shooters in the waiting


When I created my LGBT Second Amendment group about 15 years ago, I used the same logic to appeal to its members: "If you don't like firearms, don't buy one; but, it is wrong to make that choice for others." It was a variation of the old pro-choice slogan: "If you don't like abortion, don't have one; but, it is wrong to make that choice for others."
It stopped the less-supportive members in their tracks when they challenged one or more of the "logical conclusions" of the right to keep and bear arms.

If you are mentally ill, you should lose at least one right, the right to own a deadly weapon. Sorry if public safety feels like Nazi Germany to you. I think it will result in fewer people getting killed, not more.
This brings us to the idea that, by prohibiting access to firearms among mentally ill individuals, they will be universally protected from harm. The truth is, like the evidence that weapons are continuously discovered within every jail and prison worldwide (arguably the most secure facilities available), individuals (mentally ill or otherwise) will get the weapons they want.

Doesn't mean we should make it easy. There are no guarantees that prohibiting guns will protect them, I'm sure there are cases where they needed one and didn't have it. But statistically, it's a sound policy.
No one's conflating when they don't use the words interchangeably. Just because other people are talking about disability doesn't mean I or other people are.

The idea that "more guns, less crime" benefits communities (even those community residents who choose not to own a firearm for themselves, but are perceived to be armed), but it also creates its own dichotomy; that being the idea that those communities that are recognizably unarmed enjoy more crime and more violence simply because criminals know that their acts won't be thwarted by others who are lawfully armed and, that if they want weapons, they can get them even if laws prevent them from doing so. So, the question is, even if individuals choose to remain unarmed (an opinion which I respect as much as its alternative because I agree with personal choice), why would they want to live in communities which boast their lack of self-defense?

You are pretending that violence is the result of criminals attacking unarmed citizens, but it most often works another way. Criminals mostly just want money. They break into your home when you aren't there (and guns are one of the things they steal). So a gun in those cases only attracts criminals. The other major source of violence is domestic violence, which guns only turn into murder rather than just assault.
Secondly, there are no communities full of the mentally ill. So taking away their guns won't have any effect on the paradigm you describe.
I'm sure people in Germany said thst too. Everything's a slip plu slop fallacy until it happens to you. Who cares about other others right.

If you can't handle owning guns, don't own guns, but don't force your problems on others. I don't have your problem.s I am not you, you are not me, so I shouldn't lose my rights because you'd hurt other people.

this is misinformed. contrary to popular belief, folks with mental illness without substance abuse are NO MORE LIKELY to be violent than any joe on the street. please read back in the thread for stats and references. untrue negative beliefs like that have far-ranging consequences far beyond gun ownership including difficulty in getting jobs for folks with mental illness.
Gun Facts ( GunFacts [dot] info ) debunks common myths about gun control. It is intended as a reference guide for journalists, politicians and anyone interested in learning about gun control facts and restoring honesty to the debate about guns, crime and the Second Amendment.
No need to worry about its claims, the author cites governmental and research studies.

As very few mentally ill people kill people and those who have stole the guns, no it won't do s**t other then get lot more disabled people killed.
Mentally adjudicated is determined by a court of law. Some burcocrate in school has no right to call me mentally ill and take my rights. You should leave this site since you hate aspies so much.

Even if I thought that autism were a mental illness, it would not be hate to take away a right that puts the public and themselves in danger. Also I provided three examples of mentally ill people who bought guns legally and committed mass murder.
