Where is the law that states when an individual is known to be a danger to himself and Innocent people around him that his privacy now takes a backseat to the safety to the people who are in danger because of his presence. How is this new restriction of gun rights ever going to stop people from these terrible crimes if the same privacy act keeps them out of the database again?
Nobody has stopped anything but the possible rights of veterans who at one time or another been treated for combat stress issues but today are more normal and levelheaded than the fools passing these feel good laws. That is why this was known as the” veterans disarmament bill”
What a bizarre individual you are.
I'd love to know what was going through your head as you wrote this post.
Ah, now that it's signed, they admit it's new "Gun Control" not just the improvement of state level record keeping and reporting.
I gues I should have left the “the above is just a look into the future” on the post.
Instead I deleted it, thinking it would be obvious.
Some are, but not the Brady Bunch, they commended the President for signing it.
Not notorious anti arms right Congress woman McCarthy, she was the sponsor and endorsed the Senate Changes, which were by equally gun grabbing Senator Schumer along with Leaky Leahy.
It might have been obvious if the law had provided provisions that made your scenario plausible.
In reality, the law mandates that the states be proactive in supplying licensed firearms dealers with the identities of individuals who have been deemed mentally unfit in courts of law.
The burden remains on the individual states to find persons unfit through a judicial proceeding - it does not contemplate any law, let alone a federal one, that requires individuals to prove they are mentally competent.
My rant WAS an example of what a proactive state will do. A state who accepts complaints from its residents about the stability of other residents.
This is easily the worst , most dangerous, gun control measure ever enacted.
Efforts are already underway: “The Times article goes on just about forever—it is nine pages long on the web—but it consists almost entirely of anecdotes about a handful of the 121 alleged crimes. The stories are indeed sad, and some of the soldiers and veterans involved no doubt did suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder. “

Easily the most dangerous gun law ever enacted in America.
The gun-grabbers don’t even need even one more law. Not one. This can be the beginning of the absolute end on individual gun ownership.
I agree, completely.
