I agree with Ted and disagree with the NRA’s stand. There is too much left to interpretation in the law and while those pooh-poohing our concern say it takes a court adjudication, the bill says a “court, board, commission, or other government entity determines ...” Sorry, but all it takes is one liberal judge to make a doctor’s raw diagnosis sent into that “other government entity” (can you say BATFE?) to run roughshod over everybody. Who is to say that a 20 year old mild depression when mom died diagnosis wouldn’t qualify? Prima facie evidence is that Chuckie & co. is happy with the bill. That should scare the ever-loving crap out of anyone.

I am not opposed to true mental illness being a disqualifer for firearms ownership with the proper safeguards in place, but if you want the basis to be a court order SAY THAT AND ONLY THAT. "Or other government entity" leaves it WIDE OPEN and you might as well try to convince me to vote for Hillary as to swallow that phrase as being no problemo.

Add to that the predisposition of politicians and LEO to decide which laws they will bother to enforce and which ones they will ignore or fail to fund and this new legislation is a gun grabbers best dream.

Exactly. I got this looooooong e-mail yesterday from NRA trying to neutralize what the hysterical "extremeists" in the GOA are sending to the public. They went point by point to try and debunk all the "myths" surrounding this bill which really isn't "gun control" at all. Riiiiiiigggggghhhhhht.

I remember a time about ten years ago when the NRA stated in public that they did not consider the UN to be a threat to the gun rights of Americans. By that time I was five years into the studying how the NWO was a creation of the CFR and the Trilateral Commission. I was a good John Bircher. That became too expensive for the return I got on the membership, so I continued my research on my own.

NRA seems quite a ways behind the eightball and I would not put it beyond the realm of possibility to suggest they've been actively infiltrated at the highest levels to keep the populace of gun owners placated until it's too late. Conspiracy theory? DAMN RIGHT.

Take this legislative atrocity: Once a Bill is passed into law it's a heckuva lot easier to pass revisions than to try and ram thru a whole new piece of legislation. Once this POS is passed it can be changed any way they want any time they want. So wait for the slim majority of antigunners to swell to a strong majority....and pass the ban into being. I'm one of the vets affected. I'm not a combat vet but I was treated for mild depression by the VA. I'm over it now and although my file says I was never a danger to myself or others my blood still runs cold thinking about what could happen. Eventually I think the very fact that vets are trained in the deadly use of weapons will automatically disqualify them from ownership. In the bizarre thrust of the good old Catch-22, eventually the only folks who are psychologically and therefore legally eligible to own guns will be those who don't want them.
