Senate wants to disarm vets.

If this bill is passed, an American would be barred from owning guns if:

* He is a U.S. veteran suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder; or

* As a kid, he was diagnosed with ADHD in connection with the IDEA
program.

Not to mention the fact that an ailing grandfather could have his entire
gun collection seized, based only on a diagnosis of Alzheimer's from a
Medicare home health provider (and there goes the family inheritance).

Tom, you may be interested in what the NRA/ILA has to say about this bill:

"The new version of the NICS Improvement Amendments Act (H.R. 2640) would
require federal agencies to provide records of prohibited individuals for
use in NICS. It would also provide financial incentives to states to do the
same, by rewarding states that provide records to NICS and penalizing those
that refuse to do so over an extended period of time.

"Some pro-gun groups have claimed that H.R. 2640 would "prohibit"
thousands of people from owning guns. This is not true; these bills would
only enforce current prohibitions. In fact, H.R. 2640 would allow some
people now unfairly prohibited from owning guns to have their rights
restored, and to have their names removed from the instant check system."

Which brings up the question, which of the "pro-gun groups" did you
get your information from? It also raises another question: why did you
believe them without first reading the bill?
