Oh, I am patient. But I do know that one platform of the anti-gun people is “GUNS ARE EVIL”. I disagree.

Regarding removing 2nd Amendment rights of the mentally ill, I am waiting with grateful and rapt attention. I REALLY think this is a slippery slope.

Just for chuckles... are they also going to write federal legislation stating that the blind shouldn’t own guns, too?

I want the government out of my house. What I own and store under my roof should be of none of their concern. I’m not on their radar, yet... but one day they may decide to hinder another group from obtaining guns. And then another, and another...

Me too. But this law doesn't change who is prohibited from gun ownership (except to make a few less people disarmed).

If we had a serious problem with blind people going on shooting rampages....

Except HR 2640 doesn't change who is allowed to own a gun--except that it provides a way to undo a firearms disability for those who were committed long ago, and undoes the Clinton Administration's administrative decision that PTSD sufferers shouldn't have a gun.
