Employers and family? Yes I do think an employer and family are qualified to judge a person's character. They are also capable of not commenting at all which many would unless there is a reason to speak up. Families and employers (even domestic partners) evaluate evidence of character and mental stability every day all day. Just like a jury. So do you. If you lived with someone who showed signs of depression and self harm would you be capable of seeing it? If your son belonged to a white supremicist group that advocated the death of all black people would you advocate arming him?
A jury's verdict is subjective. lt only requires belief beyond a reasonable doubt. That's good enough to take a perso's life but somehow you can't see it as good enough to restrict access to deadly weapons. You position is that there can be absolutely no doubt whatsoever. Machine logic, ones and zeros. Life and society and the law don't work that way. You don't work that way. Constitutional rights all have limits, period. It's about time gunners realize that applies to the holy 2nd as well as the others.
I'll stop talking about this topic with you. It is pointless. Reason and judgment cannot penetrate the religion that is gun love.
