permit. What could go wrong?

Did any blind concealed carriers shoot anyone?

Anything go wrong?

for every crazy shooter.

TOO FUNNY

Republican struggles to explain why GOP just voted to let severely mentally ill people get guns

without due process?

If it involves guns-

due process?- an idea as archaic as the Second Amendment itself. Your local police know you best and those bastions of civil liberties can decree your worthiness as a citizen. Unless a faceless bureaucracy has previously determined you are defective.

equal protection?- an idea almost as old. Local communities should pick and choose what rights may be exercised and by whom

presumption of innocence?- GWB was a true genius establishing an inviolate, opaque, list that accurately lists every person who is a threat to their fellow citizens. Beside you can always appeal if you find out you are on said list and can find an agency to file an appeal with. They are obligated to respond within your lifetime, or slightly longer, but do not have to confirm you are on the list, why you are on the list or if your appeal will be given any consideration. Be sure to include any information proving you are not the person identified on the list.

since it is believed he couldn't balance his own checkbook...

Or the author has some odd beliefs about what a mental illness is.

I would recommend avoiding the comments section of the linked article though, the ignorance and histrionics on display are appalling.

This rule said one thing, and one thing only: that recipients of SSID and SSI funds, which are dispersed by the SSA, who had been assigned a representative payee due to mental incompetence should have their names sent to NICS as prohibited persons.

Although the SSA claims that anyone who has been assigned a representative payee has been declared mentally incompetent by a court, there's no proof that this is the case. There's also no support for a claim that those so declared incapable of managing their funds are dangerously mentally ill. There are likely thousands of mentally ill SSID and SSI recipients who are capable of managing their money and therefore not on the list. No other mentally ill people get their names sent to NICS unless they've been adjudicated mentally incompetent by a court of law or have been involuntarily committed to a mental institution, in accordance with 18 USC 922(g). This law is still in effect.

When ACLU and ARC is against the rule, that should tell you that it's a bad rule.
