Gibbons was unmoved by the government's mention of the 2007 school shooting at Virginia Tech as justification for the lifetime ban.
"This is compelling evidence of the need to bar firearms from those currently suffering from mental illness and those just recently removed from an involuntary commitment," she wrote. "It does not, however, answer why Congress is justified in permanently barring anyone who has been previously committed, particularly in cases like Tyler's, where a number of healthy, peaceable years separate the individual from their troubled history." |

| Gibbons is as consistent as any gun banner. Along with claims of saving lives, gun banners enable the insane and criminally inclined to bloody the reputation of responsible gun owners. They are willing to undermine your safety, even contribute to deaths, just to keep their narrative of reducing 'gun violence' alive. |

| Resistance to sudden violence, for the preservation not only of my person, my limbs, and life, but of my property, is an indisputable right of nature which I have never surrendered to the public by the compact of society, and which perhaps, I could not surrender if I would. — JOHN ADAMS |
