    What if the state decides you're an obvious danger and ships you off to a concentration camp? That's another more realistic scenario we should be considering here.

    But it seems there are some people who obviously should not have guns.

    But the problem with that is how do you decide who obviously should or shouldn't have a freedom? My take is that in a democratic society the standard should be pretty high, erring in favor of the citizen. Which means to me that it's not really going to be a good approach to reducing firearm assaults or whatever it is that we're concerned about. Conversely, any tyranny will quickly use such laws to better establish control over the public.
