This is pollyanna stuff. Have you and monkey been sharing notes??

How do you even begin to predict what someone will do with a gun? If you KNOW someone is mentally ill and unstable, there's paperwork and shit that prevents that person from buying a gun. In the absence of that...people are innocent until proven guilty. So you really can't start making determinations about who should and shouldn't have guns without violating the right to due process.

C'mon you know better, they can just (for example) go online and buy a gun, or if it's not a federal crime they can go to some other state or other bs like that.
You have no idea what you're talking about

Well that's a completely separate issue. You might though have difficulty finding people there if they weren't protected.
It is absolutely NOT a separate issue. It's the CORE issue.

If congress says that they deserve more protections, and more rights than the ordinary citizen, then they are creating the type of privileged ruling class that the bill of rights, and the second amendment were designed to prevent. If you think that's ok, you don't belong in America.
