Default OT-Veterans Disarmament Act H.R. 2640

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).

Best Regards

I don't think you have read the text of the bill.

HR2640 not only does not prohibit veterans and children with the
conditions quoted, it does provide a means by which those previously
prevented from buying firearms may have their disqualifications
removed.

What most of you idiots fail to notice is the very clear distinction
between "diagnosed" (which is not a disqualification) and
"adjudicated" (which is and has been a disqualification for many
years).

No change there. So much for the crap about Vets being disqualified.
It just ain't true.

Being diagnosed will not bar anyone from legally buying a gun. Period.
