Latest gun confiscate law

[Major Tom]

So, if your neighbor or a pissed off friend or a vindictive ex wife told the police you were mentally incapable and dangerous to others, the PD would confiscate your guns? Sounds like nazi germany where people ratted out others. I would think a person would to be examined by a head doctor to determine state of mind. I agree that mentally handicapped people should not be owning guns.

All of these states have adopted this law and nobody knows about it!

But who decides which "head doctor" ?

I do believe none of these "laws" allow an upfront challenge; only After one has lost his firearms can he or she avail themselves of due process;
thus it turns the "process" upside down or backwards.

Please define "mentally handicapped". Some folks actually believe that "wanting" a firearm is evidence of some mental problem.
