Re: Mika, United States v. Rahimi, You are missing the issues
Make the United States great again
Dear People,
The Supreme Court on Friday, June 21, 2024, upheld a federal law that bars anyone subject to a domestic violence restraining order from possessing a gun. Your take on the issue, this is good for women's rights and gun control.
You could not be more WRONG.
Now I state openly and without reservation, I believe in a "well-regulated militia." A "well-regulated militia" is the only way to fix the United States' gun problem. Picking out individual bad actors will not fix the United States' gun problem,
A well-regulate militia in my view requires licensing, the regular renewal of license with liability insurance for the legal possession of any gun. Furthermore a well-regulated militia prohibits UNREGULATED open or concealed carrying of a loaded weapon in a public place. Carrying a loaded weapon in your rear pickup truck window, your pocket or your glove box should be prohibited. It is a RISK civilized society should not have to endure.
Furthermore, I state, in 2003 I was served with an extra-judicial ex parte order of protection that never listed any abuse and abuse was never claimed or presented in the divorce proceedings. My son, my home, my car everything I ever cared for in the world was taken from me and handed over to my newly revealed once intimate enemy.
Ex parte orders of protection
Ex parte orders of protection are granted, way too conservatively, holding the accused to an impossibly pacific standard and liberally without specific probable cause in the United States today. To add an extraordinary gun control facet to the abuse of ex parte orders of protection is punitive not helpful. I mean if you are into guns and cannot find a libertarian-gun-loving-profiteer to sell you an unlicensed firearm, you are just not trying in the United States today.
In 1960 1 in 20 (5%) kids lived in a home without a father, in 2014 it is 8 in 20 (40%). That is a 700% increase in the failure rate. The problem with the family in the United States today is not about the rarity of domestic abuse and individual failings. Society "at large" is failing. The issue with the Family today is Jane Crow Discrimination = Fathers are disfavored by domestic relations law in the United States!
You are not going to stop the REAL committed abuser with an unenforceable gun prohibition and you are going to potentially disturb ethical gun lovers. It is not worth the exchange..
We do not need to add to the abuse potential of the already ubiquitously abused ex parte orders of protection. We need to give credibility anew to the legitimate use of ex parte orders of protection before expanding its potential abuse.
We need to provide EVERY person with our constitutionally assured "due process of law" and eliminate the abuse of extra-judicial ex parte orders of protection before we add to the problem.
Gun Control
I was talking to a friend of mine the other day. I have known the guy for 10 plus years. He has a good job, pays his bills, been married and divorced, has kids, and supports his current girlfriend. He lives in the city and has all his life, never lived on farm and probably never even been on one. And except for being a dirty, rotten, stinking Cubs fan I could not fault him.
We were just chatting last week. I do not know what brought it up? But he revealed to me he had a Glock. I remarked, "A piece of tactical tupperware.'" And I asked why? He said that he just liked having it. He then related that he also has an AK47.
I am telling you this is a good dirty, rotten, stinking Cubs fan if there ever was one.
But this guy is more about the gun problem in the United States today than the very, very RARE gun wielding domestic abuser today. His guns are at best an accident looking for a place to happen.
Anybody that says they would never go off the deep end and use guns recklessly or violently just does not know the potential depths of humanity. Any person can be pushed over the edge of sanity by the proverbial "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune."
And ACCIDENTLY his son? His grandson might stumble upon them? Thinking they were toys and shoot themselves or shoot his father, the neighbor, his sibling?
To put it more precisely, unregulated irresponsible gun ownership in a civilized country is at best an accident waiting to happen or at worst pointlessly destructive.
Gun deaths in a civilized world are near ZERO. I mean just look around for civilized societies with near zero gun deaths. The United States is not CIVILIZED.
If there is anything further, please let me know.
"Time is of the essence"
Thank you in advance.
