Are there any records to prove Vets with guns are anymore likely to commit a crime than others?
If passed, I could see this blowing up into something very bad.
Exactly, and they deserve WAY more than this from a country they love and served. I’ve never seen anything more sickening in my life.
Even today, I find I’m waking up thinking this can’t happen in America. That we surely wouldn’t treat our troops this way. But the House already passed it... and indeed it’s going to the Senate for a vote.
God willing, decent, TROOP LOVING Americans, will come to their rescue and will make call in campaigns to their Senators and stop this madness! But we need to do it now and by the thousands!

MOLON LABE ! ! !
You know, I don’t know if there is, but someone who is savvy here always knows those things. We’ve been so busy raising our grandson who we’ve adopted, I’m out of the loop these days.
But I’d LOVE to see that list too!
They are definitely traitors no matter what side of the aisle they are on!
Thanks, and in my “upset” I put congress when it should have been “House”. But I hope everyone realizes that if it’s going to the Senate next, it went through the House first. 1/2 of the Congress!
Thanks again for the Bump!
We just can’t let this happen to our Vets!
And what about heart patients? Can they really take the stress of shooting a gun? All that adrenaline pumping into an unhealthy heart? People need to be afraid of the thinking of these kinds of people, very afraid!
Thanks for bumping it and please make the calls too!
And it wouldn’t hurt to bump this on the weekend so others see it and make calls too! It’s for our Vets, and those who will be Vets after having served multiple tours! They need our help, BIG TIME!
FRegards!
I'm not sure what you mean by that FRiend.
It wouldn't be the first time in the past few years I've been slow. It goes with my "new" territory (disability). Heck, my condition will be one categorized as unfit to have a gun in the future too! No home protection allowed in this home if the Dems have their way.
Anyway, can you explain what you meant to me, because I can't see good news in it. Thanks.
FRegards
PS. And I want to emphasize, I’m sure I misread your post. I have bad days! Thanks.
You’re welcome. It’s heartbreaking and It’s true!
NOTHING that Congress has ever voted on has upset us more.
Please make the calls.

I know that when I called and gave BOTH offices EXACTLY what I posted in the TITLE.. with the parenthesis and the Roman numerals, they said I told them it right.
That it was TRUE, and that it was pertaining to Veterans with PTSD having their GUNS TAKEN away. PERMANENTLY!
So please, if you have a better way of saying it, please post it!
This got my message across to the Senators office.
If this isn’t true information we need to know!
So please by all means help!
They seemed to know exactly what I was talking about immediately, AND as I was explaining the title, they even helped say it.

Exactly, it’s the Dems thinly veiled attempt at taking away our Second Amendment rights.
And a COWARDLY act by doing it through our nations hero’s!
It’s NOT!
Our Vets have a Constitutional right to own arms. They are not FELONS and now this!

I think they’re messing with the wrong crowd this time. Vets know what return live fire feels like and after the first flinch we calm down pretty quickly. We certainly are not the group they want on the rooftops, aiming at them.
How do we find out if the NRA had anything to do with this?
Thanks
This only the first step folks. This is the beginning of the end of private firearm ownership in this country. CWII here we come.
This cannot happen. They’ve gone to far already in our book!
It only took me 5 minutes (if that) to call two Senators offices. (And it was Boxer and Feinstein... NOT EASY TO DO!)
But this also needs to get out to any media that will give a da*n!
