Evidently NRA supports it and claims it will not do what GOA says. More analysis here: http://republicanmichigander.blogspot.com/2007/06/gun-bill-passes-house-hr2640.html
Here is Thomas on the bill: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d110:h.r.02640:
My opinion is that the bill doesn't even begin to do what the GOA says and that this is just more of the same old GOA tactic of attacking their friends in order to drum up some cash.
It really does get old fast.
It’s one reason (among others) why mental “disorders” are overdiagnosed. It disqualifies you from many things, including your rights.
some time ago I walked out of a VA Mental hygene clinic
because the fat broad who drew me was more interested
about two things with zero relevance. The guns I own—
and my sex life. I will be writnig letters— and I will
be keeping my guns up / loaded/ and ready to rock n roll
There are a million threads out there about this.

I hope you are right. Did you read the bill? The list of leftie sponsors are pretty scary.
Back Again— When I was serving on active Duty and assigned to the PCZ (Panama Canal Zone)I was given copy of an official US Dept. of State Pamphlet Living at peace in a world without war Doc. #7277 prepared for JFK setting up a new government beurocracy and three stage plan to disarm the United States—and arm the United Nations. To my knowledge this has Never been dismantled. But has been
internalized. Does seem true this bit of legislation is
proof the evil remains alive.7277 is pretty much the
dominant conspiracy theory worthy of discussion.
I’m still reading, but have to stop a while. I haven’t found anything in the bill yet that mentions vets and ptsd.
Maybe when a few of those "doctors" get locked up for perjury and other things, they'll learn a lesson.
amazing!
and i know a tv-moron union democrap that would support this.
she’s a bush hater too.

some quotes about the bill...
“Through the years, we’ve had our differences with the National Rifle Association.... Today, we write in praise the NRA.” — The San Francisco Chronicle 06/15/07
“The Virginia Tech shootings were a horrific reminder of the gaps in U.S. gun laws. The [NRA] knew its usual opposition to any and every solution we brought forward would be unacceptable to the American public so it made this concession.” — Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence e-mail alert
“For the first time [in history, HR 2640], if enacted, would statutorily impose a lifetime gun ban on battle-scarred veterans.” — Military Order of the Purple Heart 06/18/07
“The NRA has told its members in the past that Carolyn McCarthy is one of the worst of the gun banners and now the NRA has crawled in bed with her!” — Virginia Citizens Defense League
“We’re hopeful that now that the NRA has come around to our point of view in terms of strengthening the Brady background checks, that now we can take the next step after this bill passes [to impose additional gun control].” — Paul Helmke of the Brady Campaign on CNN 06/13/07
