On December 4 Breitbart News reported that House Leadership plans to add gun control legislation to Rep. Richard Hudson’s (R-NC) national reciprocity bill when it comes to the floor for a vote.
Breitbart News has since learned that the legislation being eyed by House Leadership is similar to background check legislation that was pushed while Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was Speaker of the House. That push, which ultimately passed and was signed by George W. Bush, consisted of “improving” the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) but was subsequently parlayed into expanding the number and types of persons listed as prohibited from gun purchases.
Barack Obama’s Social Security gun ban was a clear example of how the Pelosi-era gun controls matured. Obama’s ban opened the door to prohibiting gun purchases by Social Security beneficiaries who required help managing their finances. The Social Security gun ban did not necessarily target harmful people, but it did threaten the gun rights of a large swath of elderly persons whose only means of defense might be the .38 Special revolver or 9mm pistol on the nightstand.
Duke University psychiatry and behavioral science professor Jeffrey Swanson described the Social Security gun ban as a method of punishing the “vulnerable” rather than the dangerous.

No matter the words, if it came from the senate purchasing via marriage money Pelosi-thing, it is corrupt, illogical, silly, and not worth even taking a bodacious Obama on.
She soooooo fits Mexifornia.
House Leadership plans to add gun control legislation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This would be REPUBLICAN leadership, ostensibly.
Undocumented Democrats in R jerseys is closer to the truth.
They will keep screwing US as long as we keep voting for them.
CANTORIZE YOUR WEASELS, AMERICA!
I do think it is appropriate to consider whether “people who have had guardians appointed” are responsible or safe gun owners. Not an automatic rescision, but maybe a review? Seriously, if a person has mental issues, short of identifying them after they act, this seems like reasonable step. It is all in the wording and implementation whether this ends up being good or bad.
It’s the government. So that will turn into:
“Oh, you have an investment advisor managing your IRA? And you got a financial plan from a CFP 5 years ago? Well then, since you need ‘help’ in managing your finances, no gun for you bucko. NEXT!”
“Seriously, if a person has mental issues, short of identifying them after they act, this seems like reasonable step. “
That would exclude all democrats.

Oh, so your taking valium while you are in a state of grief or extreme stress? No gun for you either.
Democrats ,should give up all their guns and abort their first child.
If you’re a Social Security recipient that has ever been diagnosed with PTSD or ADHD or dementia, expect a knock at the door.
Yeah, that too...
Given the rate of anti-depressants, pain-killers, and other controlled substances related to mental health issues or pain medication prescribed in this country, that will remove about 80-100 million of us from legal gun-ownership.
That one is a little tricky though. Our mass - shooters seem to have psycho-tropic drugs as a fairly common shared characteristic. So that gives ‘them’ a public safety argument... Of course, the limitation will be applied more stringently than originally envisioned.
Probably one of the better descriptions of RINOS out there.
we need to get to the house ‘leadership’ and make sure they don’t do this, NOW!
this STINKS to high heaven!
obviously, it is being done to sabotage national reciprocity....
what we need to do is to end all of this ‘gun control’ BS, repeal it all now.... otherwise we just keep getting jerked around by these sleazy political hacks and sell-outs
Fine with me. I will just stop driving or flying to such evil states that take away my Constitutional rights. I turned down the opportunity to attend a very nice conference in California this year. I don't care if it hurts my career. I have to be alive to have a career.
