On Tuesday, Dana Loesch appeared on Fox and Friends to promote her new book, "Hands Off My Gun" as well as to talk topics of the day. During the interview, Dana talked about gun rights, and specifically the New York SAFE Act and the danger of giving bureaucrats the power and authority to simply declare a person unfit to exercise their Second Amendment rights.

"This all part of the New York SAFE Act, which kind of terrifies me. because that New York SAFE Act is a Pandora's Box of government regulation, and I get into that a little bit in my book 'Hands Off My Gun'. This law, these people, 34,000 people have not been mentally, they've not been adjudicated to be mentally unfit. These are a lot of people who have never seen their day in court, they never get to face their accusers. There is a process by which someone can be deprived of their second amendment right, and when you can be anonymously accused by a health professional or a health worker of being mentally unfit, and put on this list, that's a little unfair. And there are even medical professionals here in New York who say there are too many people on this list."

In asking Dana for her perspective, host Steve Doocy asked about a "slippery slope." An article at The Right Scoop a few months ago pondered the same thing.

"So now who gets to decide that you are mentally unstable? More importantly, how unstable do you have to be?" the author asks, pointing out that a member of the military could carry a rifle for their country, and then be deemed unfit back home because of the trauma they faced in war. A truly outrageous prospect. She goes on, saying "what about people who have had eating disorders? What about recovering alcoholics? Are they, too, to be deemed unfit? Where do we draw the line? Who draws the line?"

Indeed that is the question. Both women are touching on a critical point. It is a back alley to disarming. With no right to face your accuser, as Dana rightly notes, a worker can simply deem you unfit, and there goes your constitutional right.

Dana closes by saying the gun control war is the real war on women because guns are "the great equalizer" and a first and best defense against bad people with bad motives; something she discussed recently on her Blaze TV program. It is a primary point of her new book, "“Hands Off My Gun: Defeating The Plot To Disarm America”, which went on sale today. You can find out more about it here.
