Mental Health and the 2nd amendment

There is a move in Wash­ing­ton to begin clas­si­fy­ing any­one with any kind of behav­ior issue as some­one that should not own or have access to any kind of firearm.

In some cas­es this may well be a good thing how­ev­er just like the speed lim­it peo­ple often go far­ther and faster than they should.

If the speed lim­it is 55 peo­ple go 65 and if the speed lim­it is 70 peo­ple go 80. 

You could apply this to any kind of legal def­i­n­i­tion of men­tal health issues requir­ing the dis­arm­ing of that per­son.

We know that there are peo­ple out there that are capa­ble of doing ter­ri­ble things and those peo­ple should be mon­i­tored and they should not have access to weapons.

How­ev­er the idea of cre­at­ing a law that dis­arms any­one with any kind of men­tal health issue is some­thing that is a very bad idea.
