Prepper Loses Right to Own Firearms

I don't know if any of you know of dasarti1, David Sarti of TN. He makes a ton of youtube videos on prepping and was the disabled truck driver on last weeks Doomsday Preppers. Anyway while at a doctors office discussing health issues and what options he had, he made the comment that he might as well just kill his self and get it over with. Later the police showed up at his home and placed him in a mental hospitial for observation. This has resulted in him being placed on the FBI NICS list as having mental problems and they have revoked his right to own firearms. If you have watched any of his videos then you know he is sarcastic and brash alot of times and this has turned people off. My point is that what has happened is wrong and the other thing is that it could happen to any one of us. This should serve as a warning to all of us that what we may consider as a joke or a smart ass remark could result in being sent away or losing our 2nd amendment rights. Go to youtube to see his video and several other preppers who have came to his defense. There is also a link to a petition to have his record cleared and restore his gun rights.

Sounds drastic the media can point and say, see he's a nut case. I think they want us all to seem like nuts. Unprepared people are a lot easier to control

Playint devil's advocate here........... Regardless of his personality and joking manner he DID make the comment to his doctor ( a stupid move on his part) joking or otherwise, that he might commit suicide. By law health care workers from EMT's to Doctors are REQUIRED by law to report such incidents to police and mental health officials. While normally they just have you sign yourself in for a 72 hour observation period, sometimes they use "force" to hospitalize the person. Usually they find the person is Non-suicidal and safe for society. Then everything is okay. Here they likly used his non traditional views as an extention of his statement to deem him a danger.

In this case it is a governmental way of silencing someone who disagrees with their narrow views.

Every time I go the the VA for treatment I get asked the question "Do you feel like hurting yourself or others" though you may be joking when you respond, they are not!! I know of two fellow Vets who lost their concealed carry permits and are now flagged in the database so they cannot buy firearms. Both are now working with lawyers to try and regain their rights to own firearms. So always respond with "no I would never do that" while looking them strait in the eye. Because any other response will most likely get you a nice 72 hour mental health hold and losing your rights.
