I WANT TO BUY A GUN IN NYC (Staten Island) as is my RIGHT under the constitutional 2nd amendment!!

I want it to be law (though we shouldn’t need one) at the federal level that NO INFRINGEMENTS on 2nd amendment be applied by ANY state.

You brighter guys can figure out if ex cons should be banned and how long, deeply disturbed (poor folk) mentally ill, etc.

I was in psych for a few weeks after brain injury. Severe depression (it’s gone).

There was a schizophrenic guy that was in there because he heard voices that “they” were coming to get him and he hid in the closet with a shotgun.

He KNEW it was all in his head while on pills in the psych ward, but if he stopped his pills when he left, that could be bad, having a shotgun around.

I assume during the time of our founding fathers those that severely mentally ill were locked away so there was no worry about them having a weapon.

The entire US healthcare is presently being forced to adopt electronic healthcare records keeping. This means that, eventually, any and all healthcare information will be obtainable by interested government agencies. Make no mistake, Obamacare turns this EMR into a data mining engine for the government. If you have ever been prescribed anti-depressants or anti-anxiety medications, the BATFE would have access to that info...eventually. and, depending on the mood of the POTUS at the time, that information could be used to block a firearms sale or to retroactively determine that you falsified your ATF form 4473 when you purchased a firearm.

It's something to keep in mind.

I want NYS and NYC (separate jurisdictions for firearms) to issue nonresident CCW permits OR to be forced to recognize other states’ permits.

I mean, I even have nonresident unrestricted Class A CCW in Massachusetts, for heaven’s sake!

I go to NY all the time. It’s a big hole in my coverage.

From my “about” page...

I will know the Republic is safe when:

(...)

3. The idea of releasing a person onto the street while denying him, under color of law, an otherwise lawful means of self-defense, is looked upon as not merely a violation of his rights as a human being, but also an act of barbarous cruelty on a par with throwing a paralytic into a swimming pool without a floatation vest.

Or they figured that problem would resolve itself in an armed society. Mentally ill people are just as capable of getting a gun as criminals, laws don't stop that.
