Not necessarily. The most virulent anti-gunner in the House is Carolyn McCarthy (D. NY.) She was elected on a single issue - gun control. So in both left coasts gun control is a winning issue. (Especially in the liberal anus of the country, NYC and surrounds)
Also all the state level activists who pushed through CCW and castle doctrine laws at the state have GOT to get off the dime and start all over again for the nation's very survival.
She's introduced legislation that would dramatically expand BRADY. But one of the little known provisions will have a CHILLING effect on our VETS: I was a service member during a period of restless "peace" which we termed the Cold War. Most of the vets I know from that period won't pass the scrutiny of the VA shrinks as being competent to own a gun....'cause those docs are essentially CIVILIANS who are antigun to start with! Imagine how they'll react to returning combat veterans? How about the poor guys from my era who simply battle depression and try to get some help? Being depressed is no guarantee you're going to go postal and shoot up the streets! Far from it. Even a clinical deep depression doesn't reach this standard. I'm of the opinion that it takes a COURT adjudicating an issue before it should have a lasting impact on a man's life. Imagine the freezing effect this will have on ALL vets who might like to get some help but now, won't. Or those who have indeed already sought help and will now be vilified without reason and publicly HUMILIATED.
Did you know that in 1999 the VA turned over the names of over 90,000 vets to be included in the National Instant Check Database? Without any DUE PROCESS or FORMAL ADJUDICATION a vet can be denied his basic rights. But it goes further than vets. Commie McCarthy wants ALL mental health records included. Ever received counselling for ANYTHING? Divorce, death of a family member or marital counselling? You might be targeted to lose your guns....well be among the first ones....tell all the freeper vets about this!
