Well , that wasn ' t exactly something Obama ordered , per the person I ' m replying to , but yes , that happened as well . I ' m not necessarily opposed to confiscations from the groups listed on your linkincluding convicted felons , those under a domestic violence restraining order or deemed mentally unstable . though I wish it was only convicted violent felons , not someone who bounced a check or went too fast on a highway . The financial affairs thing I mentioned detailed herenagunlaw 20150718 story . html I ' m mixed on . They could indeed cause harm to themselvesothers due to their mental state , but that ' s just it so far speculation . They aren ' t violent , just require assisted living . Is there evidence that this is indeed a problem ? Without that , I don ' t support it . Regardless of this , my point was to directly refute the person I replied to , who insisted Obama never confiscated guns . That ' s blatantly false .
