Schumer wants to restrict gun sales to people with mental illness or restraining orders Would this be a check form of the box -- I am qualified to purchase a gun because of:
__mental illness
__restraining order?

Aren't these liberals the same ones who demanded that mentally ill be released from the mental hospitals as a matter of individual freedoms and civil rights?
To: Redleg Duke
Well, now, that means Queen of the Damned and the entire membership of N.O.W. couldn't carry guns.Heehee

Would this be a check form of the box No, it already is that way, at least in my state. The headline is misleading. What Schumer wants is centralized record-keeping to confirm the status of the purchaser.

From viewing Schumers past gun control efforts, anything Schumer requests as far as gun control needs to be seriously looked at

And what does Schumer plan for protecting the other victims of "deinstitutionalization?"
NYC has had way more than its share of people with known psycho record that come out after the fact shoving people in front of subway trains, hacking ferry passengers to death with toy swords, firebombs aboard subway trains, etc. In fact, NYC's "crazy crime" problem seems to be that it is a magnet for psychos and the homeless - rather than either guns or toy swords or glass jars full of gasoline - and has a deserved reputation for easy plea bargains that keep many violent criminals who'd be jailed anywhere else on its streets.
Scandals of antigun politicians - from Kalifornia to Manhattan!

In future, all democrat votes by the mentally incompetent in New York should be thrown out.
Could cost Shumer his seat.

Heheheh... rather than put that pressure on the voters, let's just not let the mentally incompetent run for office, that should take care of the entire DemoPublican Party.

New Yorkers are idiots when it comes to guns. All these gun laws on the books have not stopped crime at all. Guiliani was able to make a dent in crime by starting with the little things like "quality of life" crimes and then move on to the bigger ones. We New Yorkers have had gun laws for years and nothing has changed. Its all a crock of Bull. Democreeps use scare tactics all the time - if its not Social Security its guns and gun laws.

Yeah well, just wait till they declare 'strong religious affiliation' or 'anti-government' sentiment to be 'mental disorders'. This whole idea is very disturbing in that 'mental illness' can be defined as whatever the state *wants* to define as mental illness.

There's also a loophole in the Bill of Rights that guarantees individuals the right to keep and bear arms... that one's on the list, but they have to get the little stuff out of the way first.

Is the centralized, Federal nanny state supposed to be a bad thing? What does that have to do with anything. Is it bad that fellons shouldn't be able to get guns? Is it bad to know who is a fellon?
To: MRAR15Guy56
Only if you have a problem with the FBI having YOUR mental health records....I know I sure do
Who keeps track of fellons? You are not born with a mental record to be kept track of. You have to be found crazy to get a mental record.
To: Ratatoskr
The headline is misleading. That's my point -- some semi-literate wrote it to say that Schumer wants to restrict gun sales so that only the mentally ill or the legally restrained are allowed to buy them.

What does that have to do with anything. Is it bad that fellons shouldn't be able to get guns? Is it bad to know who is a fellon? Felons having guns wasn't a problem until the nanny state started disarming the rest of us through unconstitutional restrictions.
