As I understand it, Dr. Emerson was accused of both threatening his wife, and brandishing a gun at her.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Now, wouldn't it make sense to take all firearms away from such an individual??
I do believe the Second guarantess an individual a right to keep and bear ALL arms, including full auto, but when a person is convicted of a crime, they lose MOST of their rights. They go to jail. In fact, even at arrest, the whole idea of miranda is to inform the suspect of the rights they HAVE LEFT.
Accordingly, the Second is NOT an absolute right. Criminals lose it upon conviction. Suspects lose rights upon arrest.
What are the police supposed to do - send condolances AFTER a wife beater guns down his wife - and THEM remove his guns???
Don't want your guns taken?/ Don't threaten your wife, and don't point a gun at her.
Now, I DO acknowledge the whole "frivilous restraining order" and false accusations that may occur, causing unfair removal of firearms from an innocent person, but the solution for that is NOT to not take away the firearms of a person who has wrongly threatened violence, it is to punish THE PRESON WHO MAKES FALSE ACCUSATIONS!!!!
Have I missed something here??
