[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1870182, member: 1132"] Which means two things. First, it would retroactively eliminate the 2nd Amendment rights of U.S. citizens in good standing with the law, [U]retroactively[/U]. Just like that POS Frank Lautenberg's amendment did. Second, it will have a complete chilling effect on those who truly need mental health treatment, but are in no way a threat to society. Every day, millions of gun owners receiving treatment for mental health issues [U]don't[/U] harm someone with a firearm. Yet we're going to strip them of their rights because of a very few high profile nutbags? I'll come right out and say it. Doing this would result in more loss of life than doing absolutely nothing. So many gun owners will refuse to seek treatment, we'll have far more incidents of sudden violence and suicide than the statistical anomaly that is the active shooter. Sadly, I believe you're correct. We'll say "damn the torpedoes" and plunge headlong into a foolish effort to "save" everyone from themselves. When it's all said and done, we'll not be able to tell how many active shooters we've prevented nor how many collateral deaths we've caused. All we'll really know for sure is the politicians and press will be patting themselves on the back for doing such a great job. :( [/QUOTE]
