The White House inched forward Friday with two new executive actions aimed at boosting the federal background-check system. The new laws will make it more difficult for “anyone who may pose a danger to themselves or others” to purchase a gun.
NewsMax reported:
Under the measures announced by the White House, the Justice Department will propose changes to the federal background check system to clarify who under U.S. law is prohibited from possessing a firearm because of mental health problems.
The Department of Health and Human Services also will propose a regulation aimed at making it easier for states to submit information about the mentally ill to the federal system, without blocking all people who seek mental health treatment from owning guns.
“The administration is committed to making sure that anyone who may pose a danger to themselves or others does not have access to a gun,” the White House said in a statement. “The federal background check system is the most effective way to assure that such individuals are not able to purchase a firearm from a licensed gun dealer.”
The new laws may make it even more difficult for US veterans to own guns.
US veterans started receiving letters from the government last year informing them that they are disabled and not allowed to own, purchase or possess a firearm. If the veteran does decide to purchase a firearm he will by fined, imprisoned or both.
This comes on page 2 of the VA letter.
The letter to veterans stated:
“A determination of incompetency will prohibit you from purchasing, possessing, receiving, or transporting a firearm or ammunition. If you knowingly violate any of these prohibitions, you may be fined, imprisoned, or both pursuant to the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, Pub.L.No. 103-159, as implemented at 18, United States Code 924(a)(2).”
Obmaa’s latest executive orders will no doubt make it even harder for US veterans to own or purchase firearms.
It’s Barack’s way of saying, “Thanks for serving.”
Yep!
As a vet I resent this and spit in obozos general direction!
Obama wants to disarm “those who pose a threat to others” - meaning those who would defend themselves from the thugs who attack innocents. Obama also wants to disarm those who took an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, at least those who meant that oath. My tagline says it all on this issue.
In other news, gun and ammunition prices are up, availability down.
These socialist tyrants think American “insurgents” will be as easily dealt with as moslom insurgents. They are mistaken.
I want the next president to spend his or her first week just repealing executive orders and accepting resignations. I want EVERY SINGLE APPOINTEE GONE. Anyone they can get rid of, just get rid of them. If, by chance, any are any good, hire them back.
The point here is that Obama has no right to change the gun laws by executive fiat.
So who will stop him?
crickets
bttt
this is just a foot in the door.
year by year he will tighten the noose
Why do I have a feeling that “Sluggishly progressing schizophrenia” is about to make a big comeback?
Mental health problems? ANYBODY still voting Democrat.
Look at who the gun rampagers are and they are Democrats.
The criminal fascist syndicate occupying Washington obeys no laws that limit their power. In turn, we should obey no fascist laws that limit our freedom.
People need to wrap their heads around that concept and act accordingly. We are being ruled by criminals.
LOS ANGELES Before a black Dodge Avenger careened down the crowded Venice Beach boardwalk last weekend, injuring 16 people and killing an Italian newlywed, suspect Nathan Louis Campbell left virtually no evidence of his short presence in Southern California.
The 38-year-old had no fixed address and no state driver’s license, and police have found no evidence he was working.

We can’t help but see it coming. Mental health diagnoses will see incompetency by how much conservative thought one has. Don’t forget, these are the professionals who convinced the the masses that deviancy is normal.
This is misleading. The VA letter refers to veterans who have been deemed incompetent to handle their personal and financial affairs, as in someone with severe Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia.
I work with the VA system. It is difficult to have someone classified as incompetent.
Watch to see if they change this to any veteran who is receiving disability benefits for PTSD, depression, or some other behavioral health condition. THEN it will be time to lock and load.
Answer: NO!
When is this nonsense going to stop?
” meaning those who would defend themselves from the thugs who attack innocents.”

No, it is more to suppress citizen action that might thwart his move to turn the USA into the USSA. Dear leader does not want you interrupting the “glorious” revolution.
“The administration is committed to making sure that anyone who may pose a danger to themselves or others does not have access to a gun,” the White House said in a statement.
So the imperial administration is going to voluntarily dis-arm itself?
If you don’t stand up you will be stood on!
Anyone in your house with psychological problems, no matter how minor? Nobody in your house may own a gun.
I’m due for some more range time. Things to do this week.
