Reasonable? Every veteran who ever saw a shrink in relation to military service is at risk of having their gun rights revoked....Another NRA frog boiling sell out. I'm not that familiar with the federal regulations which are looser than here in Illinois. But in Illinois, anyone committed within the last 5 years, for any reason. I believe the federal standard requires a commitment for danger to self or others.
However this law doesn't establish that standare, it simply requires reporting.
If you want to argue that felons, those under restraining orders, or formerly dangerous discharged mental patients shouldn't be barred from firearm ownership, that's fine. But that's not the issue, the issue is whether the states should make criminal and commitment records available to the instant check system.
Well this is in response to VT. The nut bag there having never been committed. The gun control activist want it to be ANYONE who ever had a problem bad enough to see a shrink. They will come back next year - especially if Hillary wins with a buffet of demands. One of which will make it a report and recommendation from the shrink. Let's say you are accused of sexual harassment or drinking in the workplace and your company sends you to a shrink. Do you trust the Government enough to get it right? Remember the privacy laws. The VT killer should of been on a no buy list but "slipped through the cracks".
Also you have to go to court to get your rights returned - always a bad idea.
