Feinstein: All Vets Are Mentally Ill And Government Should Prevent Them From Owning Firearms
http://govtslaves.com ^ | March 8, 2013

During the Senate Judiciary meeting today to markup a potpourri of bills designed to deny the American people their rights under the Second Amendment and disarm them, Senator Dianne Feinstein opposed an amendment to her so-called assault weapons ban legislation that would allow veterans to continue buying firearms the bill would outlaw.

Feinstein basically said all veterans have PTSD and should have their Second Amendment stripped. In response to the amendment, she said the following:

…this adds an exemption of retired military. As I understand our bill, no issue has arose in this regard during the 10 years the expired ban was effect… and what we did in the other bill was exempt possession by the United States or a department or agency of the United States… that included active military. The problem with expanding this is that you know with the advent of PTSD, which I think is a new phenomenon as a product of the Iraq War, it’s not clear how the seller or transferrer of a firearm covered by this bill would verify that an individual was a member, or a veteran, and that there was no impairment of that individual with respect to having a weapon like this. So you know I would be happy to sit down with you again and see if we could work something out but I think we have to — if you’re going to do this, find a way that veterans who are incapacitated for one reason or another mentally don’t have access to this kind of weapon.

Liberals are scared of guns and don’t own them because most liberals are whacked out on drugs 99% of the time. They are scared they might kill themselves.

I will repeat this ad nauseam until it happens:

Where is the outrage from our military and those supporting them, as tomorrow’s vets are TODAY’S fighting men & women???

This smearing of VETERANS is a direct attack on the military yet NO NEWS organization will call them on it.

I don’t get it.

I’m skeptical of everything but that has the ring of truth in it. I believe you completely.

Now, for the rest of the story, is he on disability?

You are correct. PTSD has an ancient past although a short history. Even Native American tribes had purification rituals for their warriors to purge the effects of lethal violence from their hearts.

If you’ve ever consulted with a psychologist or psychiatrist it will be disclosed in the proposed expanded background checks for gun permits and I predict may be used to deny same.

When Harvey Milk was murdered along with the Mayor of San Francisco, the first thing Feinstein did was take to the airwaves to and blame the murder on stress from the gunman’s service as a Marine in Vietnam. Her performance before the cameras effectively turbo-boosted her political career to replace the mayor and later become a US Senator. This is no new phenomenon to her....

Will we have to present our entire medical records to the state if we want the privilege to own a gun?

Oops, did I say privilege?

You may have intended that as sarcasm but it's likely if Progressives get their way.

Feinstein was in City Hall when San Francisco mayor George Moscone and supervisor Harvey Milk were assassinated by a rival politician, and some say this experience left her with PTSD.

Feinstein is echoing the sentiments of Homeland Security and the Justice Department.
