"...though it may stumble in the Republican-controlled Senate."
May? MAY? It's DOA, you idiot.
And yes, lawfully preventing people with histories of violence obtaining firearms is a laudable goal, but it can only be done strictly respecting constitutional guarantees of due process of law.
If one isn't a categorically prohibited person, the state must follow full due process BEFORE suspending his/her rights and taking property.
BEFORE, not after.
And that's the Achilles Heel of these laws - they are structured on ex parte hearings considering allegations. The standard for suspending rights is much higher than that. Seizing people or property demands probable cause of a crime HAVING BEEN COMMITTED.
There is no 'Minority Report' clause. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to permit the conquered Eastern peoples to have arms. History teaches that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so. Indeed I would go so far as to say that the underdog is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order. — Adolf Hitler, April 11, 1942. (Source: "Hitler's Table-Talk at the Fuehrer's Headquarters 1941-1942", Dr. Henry Picker, ed. (Athenaeum Verlag, Bonn, 1951).) |
