Gibbons was unmoved by the government's mention of the 2007 school shooting at Virginia Tech as justification for the lifetime ban.
"This is compelling evidence of the need to bar firearms from those currently suffering from mental illness and those just recently removed from an involuntary commitment," she wrote. "It does not, however, answer why Congress is justified in permanently barring anyone who has been previously committed, particularly in cases like Tyler's, where a number of healthy, peaceable years separate the individual from their troubled history." |

| Gibbons is as consistent as any gun banner. Along with claims of saving lives, gun banners enable the insane and criminally inclined to bloody the reputation of responsible gun owners. They are willing to undermine your safety, even contribute to deaths, just to keep their narrative of reducing 'gun violence' alive. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
