Being a liberal gun nut, I think on gun laws a lot, watch a lot on content on the subject. Just don't have answers.

I think we should be mandating safe storage though. Less kids and thieves with guns sounds great and I don't see a 2A issue. Maybe allow one unsecured firearm in the home for defense. Maybe even 1 long gun and 1 pistol. Dunno.

And yeah, the 2A is the issue. We can't ignore or repeal it, stuck for now.

One other thought; If we require a mental health professional to make the call, they're always going to err on the side of caution. Can you imagine going to therapy and being advised, first visit, "You have zero mental health issues, a perfectly balanced mind. Go home." Yeah, that's never going to happen for anyone.
