What she seeks is a classic example of "prior restraint"... restriction of a Right based on the possibility only that one might abuse it.
This kind of thing has been declared unconstitutional by SCOTUS. Justice Hugo Black said in New York Times v. United States:
"[T]he injunction against the New York Times should have been vacated without oral argument when the cases were first presented ... violation of the First Amendment. ... When the Constitution was adopted, many people strongly opposed it because the document contained no Bill of Rights ... In response to an overwhelming public clamor, James Madison offered a series of amendments to satisfy citizens that these great liberties would remain safe ..."
Apply that logic to the 2nd.

| Many, (most?) psychologists agree "transference" is a valid description of behavior/thought demonstrated by individuals. The statements of Ms. Gunn-Barret as ascribed by Mr. Bach certainly seem a classic example of "transference". They certainly seem to me to be adequate reason to ensure this lady never gets near any firearm. And it poses some serious questions about permitting her to operate a motor vehicle or permitting her access to sharp objects. |

TO REMEMBER |
| As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms. — Tench Coxe in `Remarks on the First Part of the Amendments to the Federal Constitution' under the Pseudonym "A Pennsylvanian" in the Philadelphia Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789 at 2 col. 1. |
