Everyone except perhaps the most extreme libertarians generally agrees with prohibiting possession of firearms by convicted felons, violent misdemeanants and the mentally unbalanced—as our laws currently do.

I'm not an 'extreme libertarian', but if they've done their time and have proven themselves to be good citizens they should have a right to bear arms. Additionally, the mentally ill should in fact be mentally ill. Some of the so-called 'Red-Flag' laws allow for innocent people to be falsely labelled as mentally ill if enough people can accuse the individual of being so. e.g. Find a group of 3-5 people who hate you for your political views, and you could loose your firearms.

Tolerant left! About the only thing I've had was "I really like your shirt" said in a growling tone, but usually they just pass on by. Sounds like these SJWs were pretty worked up about it.

Are Venezuelan immigrants mostly republican? by bromigo84reagan in Republican

Venezuelans in Florida see the recent sanctions on Venezuela by Trump and supported by Rubio as hard evidence that Republicans are going to bat for them. And the community is still wary of elements of the Democratic Party that associated with Maduro’s predecessor Hugo Chávez. - Miami Herald
