Are we engaging in hyperbole?
Most of the people affected by this are not insane at all; mostly temporary stress overload; it's usually over when they get their physical health back on line. We can't afford to harm the security of this country, and the rights of hundreds of thousands of individuals, for a very few kooks. Arm the public in all places, and the kook problem goes away.
That's right and most of the people are currently barred from buying a firearm because their clearance was not re-instated.
This bill allows vets diagnosed as OK to regain their firearm rights. It is merely a matter of sending a copy of their discharge letter from the VA Hospital to the state.
This bill does not impinge on any more people than currently fall under the law. It forces the states to computerize their records so the NICS work correctly and honest citizens can have no delay in purchasing a firearm. It also allows for those classified with mental disorders to restore their rights, something that was not easily accomplished before this bill.
