Not only that, the GOP wants to make it EASIER for veterans with mental issues to buy guns.

I’m sure kenarman will come up with some confused way that Dems are actually responsible for this.

So Card shot himself and was found not too far from the place he was recently fired from.

Gotta wonder how "messed up" one has to be to get fired from a recycling center?

Utter Insanity (I honestly have not heard of this proposal until just now.) The VA absolutely needs to provide mental health records for gun sales.


Oy was a deal between Kennedy from Louisiana and Chuck Shumer. Hope Biden vetoes it.

If Biden vetos it, he could be the hero of a generation. But, I am not optimistic (he tends to take the past of least resistance historically.)

Yeah, screw privacy and HIPA!

Here's the thing. Someone has some mild depression. Gets stamped "mental health issue." Loses her right to buy a gun.

The mental health thing is mostly a torjan horse for the gun grabbers.
The President is a fink.

The title of the article is misleading

The bill, which was passed by the democrat controled Senate 53-45, prohibits the VA from reporting veterans who are found incapable of managing their own finances to the FBI's national background check database without first getting a judge's consent.

The VA can still be report the veteran to the FBI national background check if they are incapable of managing their finances, but only with a Judge's consent.

One-third of Americans can't manage their finances. .

Not being competent to manage one's finances does not automatically make them a threat to themselves or others.

'That decision, supporters say, should be made by a judge, not the federal government.'

doing nothing will mean that it is very likely that there will be another mass shooting very soon -

a great many don't really care about this - they figure the odds are on their side that they won't be one of the ones victimized

Who trained the guy to shoot a high-powered machine gun and had him train soldiers to kill people?

Was the hardware used a government issued firearm?

Is it possible that all of our wars and proxy wars are responsible for veterans having mental issues?



Is it possible to train a killer using a firearm and then not be responsible for the person's actions later?

With the hearing aid inside the killer's ears while the killer was hearing things, did the military issue the hearing aid?
