I take the generally unpopular view here that I don’t have any problem about restricting firearms to someone digging into my wallet for PTSD benefits. You want a gun, get out of my wallet. If you are too messed up mentally to function on your own dime, you are probably too messed up mentally to be carrying.

Veterans are the last people that the DOJ and our Goverment wants to have guns............

DOJ WANTED TO SCAN LICENSE PLATES OF GUN SHOW ATTENDEES

Last week the ACLU released information about the Department of Justice tracking the license plates of millions of cars belonging to American citizens. As if that wasn’t alarming enough, documents obtained by the organization through a Freedom of Information Act request show officials from the Drug Enforcement Agency and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms were particularly interested in going to gun shows and scanning the license plates of cars in the parking lot for tracking purposes. . .

“At issue is whether these veterans are suffering from mental illnesses. “

Yeh they all have Patriot’s Syndrome.

Veterans ping.

But that same veteran can run for political office....

Real question: does a VA diagnosis of positive for PTSD put a veteran on the NCIS list?

One of my fellow Vietnam vets urged me to put in for PTSD & how to answer the questions a certain way, etc. I said nothing doing, I’m fine & anyway that wouldn’t be honest.

[mac_truck]

My understanding is that any veteran who is in the VA Fiduciary program was placed on this list.

18 USC 9222(g)(4) says it is unlawful for anyone "who has been adjudicated as a mental defective or who has been committed to a mental institution" to own or possess a firearm.

Have these veterans been adjudicated as a mental defective in a court of law, or committed to a mental institution? If not, then there is no legal basis to prohibit these individuals.

[MNnice]

Yeah, as a veteran and a gun owner, I don’t mind if mental defectives are prevented from having a fire arm. Look what happened to Chris Kyle.

[Carry_Okie]

If they get away with this the PTSD list is next.

The doctors at the va have been especially chatty with patients this year. Very curious about if they own guns, and going further than that.

Funny how the doctors aren't more concerned about their patients not getting their pain meds at night while in the hospital.
No one is asking where the meds go.
But maybe they're not being told to question that...
