  • Not banned forever though, at least in California, it’s a five year ban following a 5150. Also, the ban doesn’t apply if the hold was observational or voluntary, i.e. a psychiatrist decided that you needed to be held in a facility and you went along with that decision, rather than being forced by a court, for example.

    The federal form 4473 (which you fill out whenever buying a gun through a dealer) also gives some exceptions. If you search “4473 exception for involuntary commitment” you can find more info.

    Depending on the details of the particular situation, you may still be able to buy a firearm legally. It could still be worth pursuing.

    Edit: my bad, I read your other comments. There are ways to challenge a ban due to an involuntary commitment, but you gotta hit up a lawyer, etc for that.







  • Lol some anarchish kids were handing out this zine in my locale. Along with a whole lot of based literature, there was this turd of a mccarthyite pamphlet, just trying to slip in like fellow-kids

    The person handing it out was warning people not to join any sort of communist/socialist orgs because “they want to throw us in camps and praise their dictators,” to paraphrase. Really lame, and the zine is conspicuously without any attribution, I mean it probably came from Langley so of course they won’t credit any authors. The other literature was usually attributed to some collective or locale. But I don’t think anti communism is a view held universally by everyone in that circle. A lot of different tendencies are involved in anarchistic organizing here, I’m finding.

    But I’m not sectarian and so far these anarchists have been really accepting and have a lot of skills, energy, and will to put their resources to use in mutual aid and building dual power, I definitely have a lot to learn but I’m trying to figure out how to link up all the disparate groups and tendencies. Anyway, hope we can get over this shit like we see in that awful little state department pamphlet. I’ve been thinking of posting it so… Here we are. marx-joker
