One concern they left out was that in the light of the school shootings at Virginia Tech last year, the bed-wetting politicians passed a bunch of laws making it harder for anyone with a hint of these kinds of troubles from EVER owning a firearm.

They would NOT exempt our honorable military members from such draconian conditions. This means many veterans will never be able to legally get a gun if they get documented help. So forget hunting, self protection, or any job such as law enforcement, security guard, etc for these folks.

I would advise our fine young veterans to seek help only if they could do so anomymously or without a paper trail. Sad, huh?

I have two buddies who served in Iraq that are suffering from problems.

Nightmares, depression, feelings of survivor guilt. Both are Purple Heart (V)recipients. Both have hearing loss and traumatic brain micro injuries.

One is having trouble with the bottle unable to ever forget having to pick up the pieces of his friends after a car bomb struck their convoy.

Lots of trips to the VA for both, yet both have no regrets.

This concerns me also. What the government wont focus on and the MSM wont talk about is what kind mental problems
cause 32 able bodied young men and women to allow themselves to be killed by one nut-case with 2 pistols. Might be that the govt and MSM have propagandized our youth into sheeple. Willing victims of govt and criminals (not to be redundant).
