Summary: The commenter supports the proposed revisions but argues they do not go far enough in protecting Second Amendment rights. They advocate for removing permanent firearm prohibitions for those involuntarily committed to mental institutions or adjudicated as mentally defective, suggesting that such restrictions should only be temporary and determined by a court.
It's a start but It's not Pro-2A enough
1) A person should not be permanently prohibited just because they were Involuntarily Committed to a Mental Institution or Ajudicated by a Court.
2) SCOTUS said in the Rahimi Case that a person can be TEMPORARILY prohibited, they did not say that a person can be Permanently Prohibited.
3) The only ones who should be permanently prohibited from Aquiring or Possessing a Firearm are those who are Non-Citizens (like Illegal Aliens), Pedophiles, Rapists, and Human Traffickers.
4) Unless an Individual falls under one of the Categories listed above (Non-Citizens, Pedophiles, Rapists, and Human Traffickers); A better approach would be to only allow a Court should to determine if someone is prohibited from acquiring or possessing any firearms and for how long, but it should never be permanent.
However Most of the GCA is Unconstitutional (it violates both The Second Amendment and Bruen).
The Only part of the GCA that is Constitutional is the part that Prohibits Non-Citizens (like Illegal Aliens), Pedophiles, Rapists, and Human Traffickers (the last 3 are not people).
If someone is too dangerous to acquire or possess a firearm then he or she should either remain locked up until he or she is no longer a danger (and automatically get their GOD GIVEN RIGHT to KEEP and BEAR ARMS restored), or the individual should receive Capital Punishment (The Death Penalty).
