[quote=Anonymous]Here’s two ideas that seem to me entirely constitutionally defensible (I’m an Ivy League trained lawyer):

— enact a law modeled on CPS where if someone has suspicion to believe a person poses a direct threat, they can call a hotline to report it, and the guns can be removed from the house pending a show cause hearing.  That is what happens in cases of suspected child abuse, and there is a constitutional right to raise your children.  I can’t believe the right to a gun is more firmly engrained that the right to your children.

— require two references and an interview prior to buying a gun, the way they do for many jobs or volunteer positions.  This seems to me an essential part of a well regulated militia.  It should not be easier to get an AR-15 than it is to get a rescue dog.   The shooter’s grandfather told the press he never would have let him have guns.  The Tucson shooter’s parents were desperately trying to get him mental health.  The Colorado shooter was so obviously mentally impaired any interview would have immediately revealed it.  [/quote]
