Holy Crap!
Some discussion here (about halfway down): http://www.melaniemorgan.com/latest/rush-media-matters-and-veterans-disarmament-act-2.html
And here: http://www.nraila.org/Issues/FactSheets/Read.aspx?id=219&issue=018
Here’s the bill: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h110-2640
Good idea!!
Very disturbing thought. For instance the teacher in Oregon who wants to carry concealed because she fears her x husband. She could easily be classified PTSD.
Bump.
“Is there a list of who voted for & against this bill?” That’s what I’d like to see!
I am not surprised at all. This is what we deserve for electing those traitors in the house. I wonder who voted for this crap.
Ping to self
I’ll be making some calls after work today.
Anybody know if Rush knows about this?
Good thing I’m only a year-long NRA member, because I’m not going to extend my membership.
Bush had better veto. And if the NRA supports this, they’ve jumped the shark.
We had a short engagement and took out the very operational forward listening post. We were told to stand by in place for further orders.
I was scanning the horizon for signs of the enemy as we were some few miles into enemy territory.
I saw 2 A-10 Warthogs circling a few miles out with the IR TOW sight. We had been airlifted over the first minefield by CH-53 helicopters with Cobra and Hornet escorts earlier that night.
I thought for a second that maybe I should attempt to contact air command to verify they knew we were friendlies, but decided to maintain radio silence instead, figuring they were sent to watch over us.
A few minutes later a Maverick missile came in and killed five of my brothers.
I tried to pull on of them from the flames and the skin came off his arm in my hand.
I have troubling sleeping to this day, and cannot get enough sleep to properly function as a productive worker without the aid of some sleeping pills.
They say this is PTSD. I am ashamed that I have to have some help in this manner...I just feel so guilty over not preventing this. I was only 18.
There are a lot of vets that will not speak of their experiences out of the shame of accepting some help from the VA. This gun ban will affect many.
just talked to Cornyn’s staff this has not passed out of the senate or subcommitte. it is still on hold in the judiciary subcommittee.
don’t know where this started but per Cornyn’s staff it has not moved.

bttt
I just got off phone with my congress critters phone monkey......told him to quit sending me newsletters and requests for donations. His actions on this bill just lost him my vote for re-election. That his lack of attention to detail shows him to be irresponsible and not worthy of my trust, my money or my vote.
I am gonna send him a snail mail letter with a “Resumes for Dummies” PDF Book later in the week. TXDOT needs a new sign holder on the pot hole crew.....
We are being undermined and sold out!
Be Ever Vigilant!

Here are the facts: H.R. 2640 would provide financial incentives to states to make records of prohibited individuals available for use in the NICS, and would also require federal agencies to provide such records. Those blocked from buying a gun due to these newly provided and updated records in the NICS are already prohibited under current law from owning firearms.
I do not have further updates from the NRA. Maybe Shooter does.
Info about HR2640 has been posted on FR for over a month. It started with GOA’s alert about HR2640 being gun control and that it would affect Vets. NRA released an alert that stated it wasn’t and that they supported it. GOA released another alert, so did JPFO, that told of problems in the bill. There are many on this site that are for the bill and believe that it is not gun control or that it does not do what GOA says it will do.
I find it funny that this bill is not called gun control yet the Brady law, which this bill expands/enhances, was considered gun control.
And I betcha all the "civil (gag) libertarians " voted for this atrocity.
