It was called 2PC, 2 physician commitment, when I was in training. Get 2 dishonest docs with an antigun agenda, and you can get screwed.

Unintended Consequences Alert: If this bill passes, how many young people who enjoy hunting or just the use of firearms will want to put that in jeopardy by enlisting in the military?
My concern is this law will make it more difficult to sustain the voluntary military that is beneficial to the country. It will also become a factor in the mental calculations when a service member starts to consider re-enlistment.

The McClure-Volkmer Act of 1986 has provided veterans a way to have their rights restored for almost twenty years. The procedure for doing so is contained in 18 USC 925(c). The problem is that Congress has refused to fund the department responsible for processing restoration of rights applications since 1992, which - not coincidentally - is the 15 year time period that the NRA refers to in their claim above. So, the problem is Congress' failure to fund the restoration of rights, not the non existence of a procedure to have rights restored.And who has been the chief architect of this refusal to fund rights restoration? You guessed it - Chuck Schumer.

Anyone remember the NRA's opposition to the Lautenberg Abomination (which this legislation would reinforce) in 1996?
Me either.

Bump. There are hazards in public life that we must endure in order to protect our liberties, and in any case, the gun ban laws and regulations already on our books are the primary cause of the hazards we’re currently facing anyway.

In before the resident NRAs apologists come in here and tell us all where this is still good legislation... I'm an NRA endowment member and I'm here to tell you that this stinks. Further, without significant change in the positions of NRA. i.e., doing everything in their power to see Parker was not brought or this heinous legislation, as examples - there's very little chance they can expect me to become a benefactor. If I didn't want to keep my instructor certifications I'd have been long gone.

U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) is now publicly telling constituents he is opposed to HR2640, which means steam is gathering against this gun control scheme. The senator from South Carolina that I can be proud of and will gladly vote for when he runs for re-election.

DeMint is the man. He is one of the few politicians that I didn’t have to hold my nose while voting for. Can’t say the same for graham.
Why do liberals think that laws are the fix for any percieved problem in the country????????

Any bill with this name on it, Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, is not good for gun-owners. Her agenda, along with Chuckie is to disarm us. Nothing less.
This is the same incremental undercutting of the 2nd Amendment we have gone through since 1934. As an Endowment member of the NRA, I am vehemently opposed to this, and have written many letters of opposition.
The NRA backing this, is not looking at the unintended consequences or the 2-doctor ruling. It only takes a small group in each state to 'adjucate' any individual who is even on a presciption of Tylenol the purchase of a firearm.
Don't think it won't happen.
