The logic of that has never made sense to me. If you're taking his guns away it's acknowledging that he is a significant enough danger to others that he can't have access to weapons. If it's already gone that far why not lock him up to keep him away from the people he is a danger to? It's not like he couldn't go on to harm them with some other weapon in the future.
Because there is a greater threshold of due process needed to imprison someone (like a conviction in court of law) rather than disarming them.
But why is that acceptable? They're either dangerous or they're not. Removing their guns doesn't remove their ability to do harm. It only removes one specific method. How are we arriving at the point of taking their guns if not via a conviction in a court of law?
Literally everyone is a potential harm to others regardless of if guns are involved. You're talking about delving into massive gray areas and applying black-and-white logic to them. Someone with anger issues shouldn't have a gun, but they shouldn't be in prison either. Same deal with people with mental health issues and children. No one should have a gun imo, but confiscating them on a case-by-case basis is a better solution than the jack shit some groups would prefer to do, and it shouldn't only happen in criminal cases.
