Drinking plus schitzo, that's a nightmare.

I have bipolar + schitzo. Doc asked me in our first meeting if I had a gun, or any interest in same. I told him no.

My brother is "nuts", has a ton of guns, and is completely harmless to society.

You have no idea. She beat me, tried to murder me once (stabbed me in the chest after luring me in to range faking a suicide attempt), forgets to feed our child or otherwise take care of him to the point it's stunted his growth due to the malnutrition, and recently almost killed him during a DWI accident. But, she's just an innocent looking little dainty girl who can play the victim card with expertise no matter how outrageously bad her behavior was. So she's yet to face any actual consequences from anything. Oh, and she gets child support and government benefits in his name even though I have the child the vast majority of the time and actually do all the parenting.

But, she knows the system and has done something to me very similar to this when she made a false call to 911 and told them I had overdosed. Then she cleaned out the house of everything she wanted in the divorce before I could get the whole mess straightened out and make it back home. She did take my guns and pawned them and anything else I had of value. Then went out and bought drugs and alcohol with it. Fortunately I was able to get some of my money back and buy new guns, but not with this law.

Dang. At least its over. I hope.
 
For a person who both shoots and collects guns this was a mighty STUPID thing to say. Perhaps stupid people shouldn't own guns?
While prudence would dictate that she tread more circumspectly, she should be able to reveal anything she likes about herself that does not indicate that she is necessarily violating the rights of others, to whomever she pleases, without fear of reprisal or denial of adversarial due process.
 
I hate the automatic assumption that if you are depressed, and you own a gun, then you are automatically going to go out and shoot something. A lot of people feel that there is a danger that if you are depressed and you own a gun, you're going to shoot yourself. I attempted suicide in the very far distant past. I used pills. Women usually choose pills. Men, on the other hand want to commit suicide in the manly way, so they are more likely to choose a gun. I don't think that taking guns away from man is going to prevent him committing suicide if that is what he wants to do. I don't think he will change his mind because he thinks that taking an overdose would make him a wuss. He might decide to jump off a building, or off a bridge. If a man doesn't have a gun and he wants to take out a bunch of people with him, he can just run his car through a busy intersection and hit a bunch of pedestrians. No, I don't think confiscating guns will keep someone from harming themselves or other people if that is what they are hell bent on doing.
 
Anyone who thinks Democrats & Republicans are the same on 2A/RTKBA does not live in California...
I lived there thru most of the 1980s and 90s. I remember when the state AWB went into effect. During the state legislature debates on the proposed bill, it finally came to one RINO assemblyman who went to the gun-control side, as long as the bill sponsor removed a Benelli shotgun from the list. The shotgun was removed from the "banned" list. After the final Assembly bill merged with the state Senate bill and ultimately went to the Repub governor's desk (i.e. George Deukmejian), it sat there until the Stockton schoolyard massacre occurred shortly thereafter. The Repub governor then signed the bill into law.

I know that Repubs are preferred when it comes to gun control issues, but it seems that gun owners have been betrayed more than once by Repub crossover votes than by outright Dem votes.
