      Should we allow overweight, insecure men with a long history of red flags to buy hand grenades, land mines and machine guns?

      Some people with NRA induced brain damage will of course say yes but the reality is that we’ve already decided that there are weapon that are too dangerous to indiscriminately hand out.

      And what do you know? We’re able to keep them out of the hands of domestic terrorists just fine.

        Ethically? If they haven’t be convicted in a court of law, yes, we should. Otherwise you’re denying them due process. Also, red flag laws make getting help effectively illegal.

          1. Yes it does matter because they have other beneficial uses that outweigh the harm they cause.

          2. what else? Compensating for insecurity? Building an entire personality around them?
