The proper legal standard is "no conviction, then it didn't happen".
You cannot deprive someone of rights or property without a conviction. That is the core of the right to due process.

Unfit is simple.Subjective criteria? You are right. If they codified it, like what psychological medicines have you been prescribed and for what would that satisfy your concerns?
Remember that that a lot of schizophrenics have never been committed but only outpatient. Can a licensing officer place an application on hold to find out what the person was treated for if they found a record of the person being transported to the psych ward? And numerous times?
Some of that would be subjective .
What about a domestic violence case where there is evidence of multiple assaults on the person but no conviction due to various factors. None pointed to actual innocence. A problem with the system. Absolutely.
Here is an example of someone who should not have a gun and depending if he was convicted of drug use, might not be kept from getting a gun by current federal standards. Drug addiction could be a subjective thing as well.
Do you think he should be denied a permit after the state goes to court, where they have the burden to show the person is unfit, with a free defense lawyer BEFORE any guns are taken or a permit denied?
Shoplifter who even DA Alvin Bragg wanted locked up is let go after 122nd arrest — thanks to bail laws
“We cannot accept a system where individuals who shoplift again and again cycle in and out of jail, just to shoplift again,’’ Bragg said.nypost.com
I have no problem with the above if the subjective” unfit” is hard standard to prove . Not much different than involuntary commitment standards .
Convicted of a felony in a court of law.
Adjudicated mentally defective in a court of law.
Due process is not negotiable.
Once you start to let that slip, then things get tyrannical very quickly.
If you don't have the option to present evidence, cross examine witnesses against you, and have the facts decided by an impartial jury of your peers, then you did not get your due process.

That is not correct. People are committed to psych wards without a conviction. Civil forfeiture happens without a conviction. Evidence in a criminal case is seized and deprives the owner of their property all the time .
These are just examples.
Due process isn’t always a trial. It can be a hearing .
A crazy person is not “ convicted” . They could be deemed crazy, then beat the criminal case as a result and then deemed not crazy enough to commit after they take a pill. Do you want that person to have a gun?

So you want a confirmed schizophrenic to have a gun?
It doesn’t have to interfere with your rights or anyone else’s if done right. Again, if the licensing officer has to PROVE someone is unfit ( the burden is on them) in court before impartial judge and provide for the person’s defense before a denial is issued, then it’s proper— and it’s due process. A paranoid schizophrenic shouldn’t have a gun.

Schizophrenics are often those bad guys, with or without a gun. They are the ones pushing people in front of the subway trains or attacking strangers for no reason .

Just because it happens a lot, doesn't make it right
Just because it is the official process doesn't make it right either.
You always get hung up on "this is how it works" and never quite get to "this is not how it *should* work".
Think of it like this. For 100 years you needed to show "good cause" to possess a pistol in NY. That was the official legal policy.
It was *never* right. The recent SCOTUS decision doesn't just mean they changed the policy. The decision means that officially it was *never* constitutional, and NY had been illegally violating people's rights for a century.

Yes, we agree. But keeping guns out of certain people’s hands is just smart as being right. The difference in New York’s law was the burden was on the person rather than the state. The “ shall issue “ is where the state has to show cause to deny a permit . Big difference. The burden would get on the state.

I have absolutely no qualms about those I arrested for having an illegal gun. They were all actual bad guys. Not just a normal guy who happens to have a gun. So relax. You will never know how many such people were given a break and just cut loose.

Real due process doesn't mean appeal.
It means no deprivation of rights without fair trial, ability to cross examine witnesses and present evidence, and a jury of your peers to determine the facts.
Anything less is ripe for abuse.
Look at the old Soviet union. They had doctors on standby to rubber stamp a declaration of "mentally defective" for anyone who expressed doubt in the official narrative, for anything.

Then you would for the state being able to prove cause why someone shouldn’t be allowed to have a firearm with due process then. The argument turns to what is due process and what causes they could deny the ability to carry a firearm.
