***”This is not an attempt to limit gun rights or an individual’s ability to own a firearm,” said Johnson.***
Of course not - why would anyone think that? We know your intentions are honorable.
P.S. I agree with you.
Sfl.

That PJ Media is really something, what a scoop!!!
As long as Gravity exists, so will Suicide.
Good, that gives us an extra year to fight it.
How about these cowards go jerk around the shrinks, and insist that they report folks sufficiently unstable as to being restricted from purchasing guns?
Back in the late 1960s I bought several guns at the Base ExchangeS. It was only oversees on Okinawa that I was required to turn them in to the master of arms. Got them back when I left and I found out something.
If a soldier gets sudden orders to ship out and can’t get his private property, the Master of Arms often keeps them FOR HIMSELF!
Government suicide is a good reason to maintain ownership. Bastages want so bad to disarm the public that they can taste it.
Just one more thing to prove that our “lawmakers” are IDIOTS.
Gun ownership is not why soldiers are committing suicide. It is multiple deployments to muslim hellholes and then not being allowed to do what you trained for and that is kill the enemy.
Yes, I assumed it was caused by being sent to kill people only to find out the next day that even though they were trying to kill you they were really our friends. In all seriousness, I wouldn’t be surprised that the suicides were being caused by what in WWII standards would be called “civilian casualties” that are in fact today’s combatants (children, women, etc.).
Absolutely
Ditto, you said it perfectly!
There has always been suicides in the military, just like in the general population...Its sad in both cases..
I agree. This is BS
Furthers the lie that soldiers are crazy and danger...too dangerous to be permitted the second amendment. We should all sacrifice the constitution for them...because they kill...because they are crazy murder machines.
I am truly sorry for vets who suffer after the war(sssss). Stripping them of their freedom and us of our freedom is not serving anyone but the Marxists and fascists. Getting the economy out of the crapper would help.
Kerry is a liar. He can’t stand the military. And who is this johnson from GEORGIA?
Indeed.
What would be interesting in relation to this article would be the statistics regarding suicides by folk in the military vs. civilians. I'd bet they are actually lower than the general population, and this is just an excuse to bring up gun control.
