Re: Are Christians denied self-defense?
I rarely understand what point you are trying to make -- or more accurately, why you are saying what you are saying, which often seems unrelated to anything I'm saying.
Given that I quote your statements in each of those posts, I don't see how there can be a lack of relation to what you are saying. You claim not to be talking about Luke and yet I quote your statements regarding Luke in the messages I respond to.
In any event, I won't pursue this any further. I don't want to confuse you anymore.

Re: Kansas This Time
One of the other issues that may arise is privacy concerns. To search anything in a home would require a search warrant which also means that in order to obtain the warrant, you have to specify the places to be searched. A gun could potentially be anywhere.
This would certainly be problematic if the search were conducted not because the gun was evidence in a crime, but for other reasons because a gun can be anywhere and a search for a gun allows a search of the entire house.
However when the gun is involved in a crime, the police certainly don't have to indicate that they know where the gun is when they search. They get a warrant that allows looking in any place big enough to hold the gun. Just specifying house and car is enough legally.

Percy writes:
You and your wife have a fight, the police are called. The police remove the guns from the house.
so in my scenario due process would allow the police to remove all registered guns in the house
Explain how this would constitute 'due process'. What else, besides guns, could the police remove from the house because of a domestic violence incident. They are already likely to remove one or more of the participants and might, after a hearing, elect to apply a court order keeping them apart. But how is simply taking the guns away and keeping them any kind of due process?

Re: Kansas This Time
My scenarios only included initial incident and final result. Between the incident and the removal naturally there would be legal proceedings.
After which the guns would be removed from the house? Or not removed from the house? You did not even hint at any due process here. Only one possible outcome, no standards for removal or not. Fight in house => guns removed is what you stated.
To make this less about what you said or did not say, what kinds of things might be considered in a hearing that decides whether the police take away your guns after a fight in your house. Just establishing probable cause to believe there was a fight?

Re: Kansas This Time
I imagine the particulars of the fight would be relevant (was anyone threatened, hurt, or even sent to the hospital, did anyone pull a gun or fire a shot), as would whether this was an isolated incident or just the most recent in a series. But you're the legal eagle here - you tell us.
All of which are substantially more than "fight" => guns removed and possibly not returned. But this is your proposal. You should be telling us what you mean before.
But regardless of the details, before true progress on gun control is possible there must be agreement on certain basic principles: That guns are not an effective means of self defense, that not everyone should own guns, and that gun ownership is a right that should be accompanied by requirements of appropriate behavior enforced by law.
In short, "I need the gun for self defense" would not be sufficient at a hearing. That's fine with me. But how about, "I have a constitutionally protected right to keep guns safely in my house and the state cannot take away my gun for any reasons less substantial than they would use to burden a woman's right to an abortion. And I already keep my guns under lock and key with ammo stored elsewhere?"

Re: Kansas This Time
So I should always anticipate what details you might ask about before you ask about them?
No. But if you post. Fight with your wife -> Police take away your guns, don't be surprised if people don't anticipate any details that you might want to put there. I still don't really know what we were supposed to make out of your post.

Re: Responsible Gun Owner Shot In Isolated Incident
Her four-year-old son picked up a loaded .45 semi-automatic handgun from the back seat, pointed it towards his mother and pulled the trigger.
...
Wells said: 'We’re satisfied that this is not a criminal shooting.'
However Gilt may face criminal charges if the State Attorney's Office determine there was negligence on how the child obtained the firearm
Wouldn't that make the shooting a criminal shooting? What did Wells mean here?

Re: Kansas This Time
Thank you for trying to nag me into a greater ability to anticipate which of my replies to other people
Your lack of detail might be one of the reasons why your proposal was found unacceptable by the other poster to respond. Taking away guns simply because a fight occurred at a house really is not an acceptable idea. On the other hand, taking the guns away because the wife and husband were sniping away at each other from behind the sofa is acceptable. But that was going to happen anyway.

Re: Responsible Gun Owner Shot In Isolated Incident
Probably that the shooting was accidental, the kid didn't intend to shoot his mother. How he got access to the gun is criminal.
While that is true, the problem I find here is that the statement about looking into the criminal negligence of mom was a statement from the author of the article. While the other statement was a quote of Wells, the law enforcement guy. There is no indication that Well was even considering the issue of mom's criminal culpability.

Re: Kansas This Time
Yeah, just because the police have been called out to prevent one person from hurting another, that doesn't mean it's a bad idea to leave them alone together with a lethal weapon. If anything, that would help them to settle their differences.
The police are going to separate the participants. If the situation is dangerous, the police are not going to leave fighters behind together to continue a fist fight, let alone a shoot out. The house is of course full of potentially lethal weapons, most of which are in the kitchen and garage. Are the police going to take the next step of child proofing the house? Get rid of the rat poison?

Re: Kansas This Time
I agree with all of them, except this one. Unless the weapon was used or brandished in the commission of a crime, and that you were one of the assailants involved, then I don't see how you are at fault if other people got in to a fight at your house
I note here that Hydro added some detail that you did not. The principle behind his objection is pretty much the same as the one behind mine.

West Viriginia vs sensible gun control
And in this corner, the West VA legislature going against the will of its citizens...
quote:
By more than a 2-1 ratio, lawmakers in West Virginia's House of Delegates have approved a bill that would allow gun owners to carry concealed handguns without a permit. The only concealed-carry permits would be for people who are 18-21 years old.
Delegates approved the bill despite a recent poll that found "84 percent of likely state voters and 87 percent of gun owners support or strongly support the existing law requiring a state permit and gun safety training to carry concealed firearms," according to the Charleston Gazette-Mail.
