Now that we have you set in stone, please further define what each category means. 1) Are violent criminals: a) murderers b) rapists c) muggers, or are they: d) been in a car accident, e) spanked their children in public f) a woman who slapped a man for a rude comment.
2) What minimum IQ do you need to no be considered mentally dificient? Do we go by the Soviet mental health system, where anyone who disagrees with the politically correct party line is obviously mentally deranged (as things seem to rapidly be moving here anyways)?
3) What is the standard of action and evidence for spousal and child abuse? What is the burden of proof and due process?
4) So when the AARP lobbies to raise the age of majority to 35, they you agree that everyone younger must give up their guns?

Rather than pushing these standards as laws that can obviously be manipulated and changed at the whim of the current media/PR pressure, will you push these as a proposed Constitutional Amendment as they should be?

If not, then your standards are illegal and unconstitutional.
