Yes, very concerned about people being denied due process in these cases. While my psychological training is limited to a couple basic college classes I did learn enough to understand conceptually just how difficult it is to identify “potentially” dangerous people as opposed to people who just need a little help. So, I am concerned about politicians potentially lowering the threshold required to deny someone their Constitutional rights.
Now, if Mr. Obama takes steps to simply assure that people who have already been adjudicated as a danger get into the NICS system that seems like a good step.
