NRA Wants Mentally Ill To Have Gun Rights

After the massacre at Virginia Tech in 2007, Congress did manage to pass a modest measure that was designed to provide money to states to improve the federal background check system. But the N.R.A. secured a broad concession in the legislation, which pushed states to allow people with histories of mental illness to petition to have their gun rights restored.

As a condition of its support for the measure, the National Rifle Association extracted a concession: the inclusion of a mechanism for restoring firearms rights to those who lost them for mental health reasons.

Don't care what happened over 100 years ago it has nothing to do with me. Every racial group in history has been oppressed and stolen from.

Won't happen its the mentality that the elite in the Democratic party pound into the heads of their rank and file.

9 out of 10 gun owners in this country want extended back ground checks, including mental health.
Poll: 9 Out of 10 Gun Owners Support Background Checks

House Republicans are arguing that if someone is put on a terrorist watch list, the Government will have 24 hours to PROVE they're a terrorist. If not then they'll be able to load up on the 25 hour--LOL That's how bad it is.

In Denver recently, a guy was on a terrorist watch list. He was actually reported by several MUSLIMS that attended his Mosque, as planning an attack. FBI goes out and interviews him, he goes in and buys a gun and the next day shoots and kills an RTD officer. Reich wingers on the Denver post board still defended him being able to purchase this gun even though he was on a TERRORIST watch list.
First-degree murder charge filed against man accused of killing RTD security officer – The Denver Post

The Mental health issue after Sandy Hook is even more astounding that they would argue over some bat shit crazy dude being able to buy a gun.

WHAT THEY NEVER UNDERSTAND IS THAT THEIR POSITION (GUNS FOR EVERYONE) MAKES IT MORE LIKELY that someday serious bans will come into effect that will really effect their 2nd amendment rights.

A staunch Reich winger, unwilling to bend on gun restrictions for people that are put on a terrorist watch list or for crazy people are in reality are the biggest THREAT to legal gun ownership in this country.

Every time some wacadoodle or terrorist gets a gun in this country and kills people, some politician is going to call for gun restrictions. Someday it's going to happen. To limit that risk, the only option is to make certain that guns do not get in the hands of these type people, but you'll never convince a Reich winger of that until it's too late.

sandy hook had nothing to do with background checks or a crazy guy buying a gun. the fact is, bannerrhoid assholes want to ban guns and they will use any incremental means of doing so including lessening the standards needed to bar someone of their constitutional rights. Such as merely being on a watch list or having some bureaucrat call you a suspected terrorist. Ted Kennedy was on that watch list once

I think I see where you are coming from but you may be biting off too much at once, lets start with saving the first amendment first, by curtailing the media coverage and how it is allowed to make its own rules, then remove protesters from our public streets because that is obviously backfiring on them and may very well cost us our first amendment right of free speech and assembly.

do you have a cartoon that shows how using politically incorrect language is harmful to our nation but being allowed to print the "Pentagon Papers" for the world to read is not?

Yeah, but ted should have been barred from owning a gun, and a car, what he should not have been barred from was leaving the country

This may come as somewhat of a shock to you but both are part of the same document, with the same guarantees and protections and in fact if it ever became necessary to defend the first amendment the second amendment would be its best defense, yours is just a feeble attempt to protect an amendment you agree with by barring it from discussion here because you are busy attacking an amendment you disagree with...you are not free to cherry pick the constitution, you agree with it or you don't, no in betweens here, my post was an example of how flawed the argument for saving the second amendment by curtailing it was by using curtailment of the first amendment to save the first amendment in the same manner.

That's a good point you brought up a car. If you compare car regulations to gun regulations in this country, a 10 year old would be able to get behind the wheel as long as they could touch the pedal, no drivers license would be required, no insurance would be required and there would be no speed limit, and we wouldn't even have DUI laws.

And the reason a 10 year old does not have that right to drive is because driving is a privilege not a right...and I'm glad you pointed this out, it proves that the left wants to do way with our right to own guns by granting them privilege status just like they would with a car...rights are universal, privilege is not.
