Gun control discussion

Want to control guns?

How about let's start enforcing existing laws.....

If it wasn't an NFL player, they'd still be sitting in jail waiting for their hearing.

DUI, accessory to DUI, pot (which I REALLY don't care about) and guns in the car, and they're back out on the street.

Enforce the damned laws. I'm willing to bet that if the laws as they stand were firmly enforced, people would be railing about how draconian they are. Controlling objects accomplishes nothing if society can't control people.

Hey, what ever happened to the American kid who got caught tagging and got his butt whupped?

I bet that took the wind outta his sails.......sometimes the best way is the hardest way.

This Indiana case is a prime example of a person who should not be allowed to keep guns. After his arrest he was diagnosed
with a mental disorder & he now wants his guns back, all 48 of them. (His guns were seized after he was arrested)

I wonder what Indiana laws are regarding mental health issues ... and whether that diagnosis could be used to keep him from getting the guns back ... Mental health is such a hot-button topic, and so tricky to define and enforce ...

Indiana laws are actually immaterial in this case, as he has been diagnosed with a mental illness. If he is mentally ill and that holds up in a challenge, by Federal law he cannot possess firearms.
