regarding a database....
if someone was not a felon, and then they become one, who makes sure they no longer own the guns they had, but aren't allowed to have now? or what if they own a gun, and then a restraining order comes out. if he wanted to buy a gun, would that show up? if so, why not retroactively for the one he could buy when he bought it, but he's banned now?
regarding the mentally ill-if you blackout, go to the doctor, and the doctor can find no reason why you blacked out (which means no treatment, thus you're at risk to blackout again)....he is required to report you to the dmv, and you lose your drivers license for a year. public safety and all that.
so, why can he report, but the psychiatrist treating a guy who is showing signs of severe illness can't? or won't? or he's on meds and quits taking them?
if someone is a stalker, with a history, what does that mean with guns?
and how come the guy who killed his buddy in a hunting 'accident' still owned guns, still hunted, took his kid hunting? but didn't give his 14 year old hunter orange to wear, and then killed his kid-cause he thought the kid was a deer? (i didn't know deer walk upright, amazing feat). how much stupid do you have to put on display before you're not fit to own a firearm?
can a database be used to disarm everyone? yeah. which is why you have rules prohibiting using the database to just go around and confiscate for no good reason. drivers are in a database, dui's come off your mvr after so long, but they still can find that you're a repeat offender.
