#guns - Over 100,000 #veterans have been deprived of right to keep and bear arms by Obama admin
Compleat Advocate ^ | May 18, 2016 | Sen. Chuck Grassley

... There appears to be a troubling trend within the VA. As of December 2015, almost 99 percent of the names listed on the 'mental defective' category for the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, otherwise known as the national gun-ban list, are from the Veterans Administration. Once a person's name is on that list, they are banned from owning or possessing a firearm. Their Second Amendment rights are completely null and void...

Very good point, Cincinnatus. Thanks. Our fellow Freeper, presidential candidate Tom Hoefling, has often urged folks of good will and understanding to help others understand the difference between unalienable rights and the many other things that people identify as being rights. He'd surely appreciate your comment. I urge you and others here to consider helping Tom and me get on the ballot in your state this year http://www.tomhoefling.com.

"most people with fiduciaries are not incapable of handling firearms safely"

Most people with a fiduciary have been judged by at least two doctors to be unable to manage their own money...and the leading causes are Delusional PTSD, schizophrenia, chronic alcoholism and hard core drug use.

Of 40 million veterans in the US, approximately 100,000 didn't come home well and have demonstrated behaviors that warrant this action. That's .25%...a far lower percentage than the general population not able to purchase a gun.

Almost to a man they have been constrained from free movement at least once.

100% disability for mental problems.

Failure to get a NICS approval and getting a "Denied" means that the transfer of the firearm is NOT approved. I'm not exactly sure that translates to "not allowed to own a gun - ever."

Most people don’t think “warfighter” is liberal inspired.
I do like your suggestion though. War Department sounds so much better than Defense Department.
Truman changed it from Department of War to Department of Defense in 1949. The Dept. of War became the Dept of the Army, then The Navy Dept. and newly created Dept. of Air Force and the Dept. of the Army were combined to make the Defense Department. Seems like too much work though and a way of confusing everyone.

Salvation there is something terribly wrong in the Whitehouse. George Soros and Trumpka (pres. AFL/CIO). I’ve read (here) Trumpka appears every day, Soros sometimes 2/3 days a week. Why???

All “out” homosexuals and transgenders should be added to that list. They are true mental defectives.

If you have a fiduciary assigned that's prima facie proof you cannot manage your own affairs.

The mentally deficient should not be able to purchase a firearm.

That's the law. And it always has been.

If that is the law, it is an illegal law, as it infringes upon the rights recognized in the second amendment. There is no exception for crazies or freed criminals mentioned. If you can't be trusted to be armed, you should not be running around loose.

“But there is a huge loophole in the aft regulations. They do NOT consider Air Rifles to be dangerous/lethal. So I may have air rifles.”

NJ AIR GUN FAQ’s

Q7. Are air guns considered firearms in the state of NJ?    Yes. In NJ, air guns are defined as firearms.  Therefore ALL firearm laws that apply to  other modern firearms in NJ, also apply to air guns.

Q9. What do I need to buy an air gun in NJ?    Since NJ law defines air guns as firearms, one needs a firearm purchasers ID card to  purchase one.   

Q10. Where should I aim on a rabbit or squirrel?    Head shots are recommended for rabbits and squirrels. Accuracy is key when hunting  with the air gun.

They forgot a key question: Where is the best shot placement on a blue-helmeted invader?

Oh, that would be a wonderful happening for the whole world, actually. Soros is a pulsing pimple on the world.
Maybe the pimple can be ruptured.
