The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness. John Kenneth Galbraith
Unfortuneately even if the authorities removed the mans' guns, if he really wanted to kill his wife he would have used a knife, baseball bat, or a car.

So Shadow, if your next door neighbor was trying to kill you with a pistol, you don't want the cops to take away his pistol, because he'd still kill you with a knife a baseball bat or a car.
Does that sound as dumb when I post it as it did when you posted it???

Are you really so blind that you believe that the gun is the evil weapon and not the idiot behind the trigger. In NYS they do take your guns away when you make a threat against another. There's no proof that it will save your life if the person wants to kill you.

Sorry I did C&P from the comments section of the NYSlimes because there is no way to put it any better...
Quoted Text
So you suggest that a constintutional right be stripped on the basis of merely an accusation and request to the court? Remember, all it takes to get a restraining order is accusing someone and asking the court. There is no trial, no due process, none of those protections we firmly believe in. It's also grossly naive to think that someone who is murderous will "surrender their weapons" voluntarily.
This is another "blame the men" article in the court of public opinion. I'm disappointed, that of all papers, our liberal lady in grey advocates stripping rights without even a trial.

If your neighbor wants you dead, taking his guns will only piss him off more and cause you to be run over by his car accidentally 23 times.
