    People who have been convicted of domestic violence are already federally barred from firearms ownership

    Not for long.

    same for people who have been involuntarily committed

    That’s not what I said, I said a history of mental illness.

    and child endangerment is already also a crime that falls outside the scope of simply firearms.

    But it doesn’t include handgun ownership, which you know full well. And that’s what we’re talking about here.

    But since you are blatantly misrepresenting what I said and being incredibly dishonest, I don’t think this conversation needs to continue.

      Ah, so you want to nebulously define mental illness to include depressed people, people with ADHD, BPD, Bi-polar, and trans people as “undesireables.” Well this ableist position thankfully isn’t the law and it requires proof that a person is actually dangerous before stripping their rights. Furthermore all it does is make people less likely to seek the help they actually need for fear of being barred from rights for having a mental illness that wouldn’t have made them be violent anyway (stop stigmatizing the mentally ill btw, do better.)

      But it doesn’t include handgun ownership, which you know full well.

      Ah but it does. If someone is actually endangering their children with a handgun it absolutely applies, but no, “owning a handgun” isn’t in and of itself child endangerment and your suggestion that it should be is quite laughable.

      You seem to have a habit of cutting and running every time I prove that you have no idea what you’re talking about. By all means take your ball and go home lol.
