Congress has given gun owners in America a Christmas gift: a blade in the back, according to officials with Gun Owners of America.
The organization said the plan supported by Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and others, and known as the Veterans Disarmament Act by opponents, is being forwarded now to President Bush.

Motice the posting time backdoor and in the middle of the night !
This initiative was supported by the NRA and firecely opposed by the GOA.
It would essentially allow a health care provider to deem a person a risk and strip them of their 2nd amendment rights. There would be very little due process or possibility of appeal.
Veterans Disarmament Act ??????????
Come get them Charlie Schumer, bring the Beast with you.
The Imposter in the White House has an opportunity to veto this or let it die on his desk.
Time will tell just how far to the left this Imposter has moved from when he was soliciting our votes.
What are Vetrans?
Those are like iPods, only fully grown.
Between the gun grab and this, jihad has taken over the DNC.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, official agenda of the dRAT 110th Congress.
On Wednesday, December 19th, Congress completed debate on the Omnibus Appropriations bill and double-crossed the country. They withdrew many of their earlier border guarantees promised in the Secure Fence Act. This means the fence cannot be built!
Pulling back from the double-fence mandate is a prescription for failure that will only allow more smugglers, criminals and illegal aliens to enter the United States through our borders. This will severely undermine our national security.
The problem with this bill is that the NRA is backing it!
Without their support it would have been DOA.
I blame the NRA for this one!
Some of the problematic wording is here:
“Adjudicated as a mental defective. (a) A determination by a court, board, commission, or other lawful authority that a person, as a result of marked subnormal intelligence, or mental illness, incompetency, condition, or disease:
(1) Is a danger to himself or to others; or
(2) Lacks the mental capacity to contract or manage his own affairs.”
Depending on who you ask, “other lawful authority” can mean many things, a doctor, psychologist, or psychologist being some of them. It could even be the BATF. There is no presumption that the “other lawful authority” is unbiased or fair.
Time will tell? Oh it’s already been screaming it loud and clear. Time is up! As you state, it will be interesting to see if he signs this tripe, but the verdict is already in either way.
Its getting very bad when we can:*t trust the NRA. I will not join this org again. The GOA warned about this betrayal some time ago and here it is, but do you think the Imposter will sign it?
What percentage of handgun crimes are actually committed by Veterans?
I realize that doesn’t matter to the greaseball Senator from New York...
“..but do you think the Imposter will sign it?”
At this point, NOTHING would surprise me. His flip-flop on global warming was the last surprise I ever allowed the Imposter to give me.
He is a true son of his father - and his mother.

yeah, the NRA supports it because there’s a bunch of good things in it. NRA seems to willing to compromise.
Wonder how long it will be before some government commissar somewhere decides to reference all members of any sort of political opposition as “mentally defective.” With such initiatives are the seeds of dictatorship often sown....
