The gun thing was a concern raised to me by an outside source. To be fair, there's nothing in the bill saying that courts definitively can't judge someone unfit to own guns, it just potentially adds complication.

That being said, it's an issue we can revisit another day and on second thought the FF Act might cover it, I'll have to check.

Nothing further to offer.
