As Alexander Solzhenitsyn wrote...nobody in the USSR ever went to Siberia for political dissent...they were picked up interigated and were deemed a threat to the public, they were all declared mentally unstable...by a panel of psychatrists with degrees summa cum laudde and the whole nine yards. What I believe is you are purposely ignoring the reality we are facing, Today in America the DNC and the American liberals are openly calling for the end of free speech...the reality we are facing is there are many many liberal politicans who would have no problem declaring you unfit to own a firearm if say .....you read the wrong books, watched the wrong youtube channel if youSo you believe it's impossible for a panel of lawmakers, (whether they're Democrats, Trump brand Republicans, whoever you prefer) to come up (with the help from professional psychiatrists) with an objective standard of "deranged" and "dangerous" that doesn't simply become an excuse to disarm one's political rivals? Now who is being pessimistic?
