Biden: "Mental Capacity" To Be Criteria To Deny Gun Sale (my title)
ABC ^

Ok Joe, so who gets the power to determine "mental capacity"? Politicians? Shrinks? Judges? Bureaucratic panel? Family? Anyone who lodges a complaint? Janet Napolitano?

This is an attempt to fold gun ownership requirements into the 0bamacare umbrella under ‘mental health’.. Watch the umbrella get bigger as the months pass.

It will all depend on how they define, "mental capacity."

Conservative? Depend on God rather than government? Listen to talk radio?

“I believe in the Second Amendment. I believe in people's lawful right to bear arms. I will not take your shotgun away. I will not take your rifle away. I won’t take your handgun away . . . But I am not going to take your guns away. So if you want to find an excuse not to vote for me, don’t use that one because it just ain’t true. It ain’t true.”
-Barack Hussein Obama (2008)

If they used the same criteria for Slow Joe, he would be panhandling for wine money instead of being Vice President (aka step-n-fetchit Joe).

If you’re a Dimocrat, you’re obviously too f***ing stupid to own a firearm. Does that cover it?

What about anyone who has seen a shrink for depression? Or anyone who is in another database on record for filling a prescription for x or y, even if as a child because the schools and/or parents put them o n it?

If you want to get really technical, Obama isn’t going to take your guns away; his goons will do it for him.
