VETERANS
DISARMAMENT ACT TO BAR VETS FROM OWNING GUNS
Hundreds
of thousands of veterans -- from Vietnam through Operation Iraqi
Freedom -- are at risk of being banned from buying firearms if
legislation that is pending in Congress gets enacted.
How? The
Veterans Disarmament Act -- which has already passed the House
-- would place any veteran who has ever been diagnosed with Post
Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) on the federal gun ban list.
This is exactly
what President Bill Clinton did over seven years ago when his
administration illegitimately added some 83,000 veterans into
the National Criminal Information System (NICS system) -- prohibiting
them from purchasing firearms, simply because of afflictions like
PTSD.
The proposed
ban is actually broader. Anyone who is diagnosed as being a tiny
danger to himself or others would have his gun rights taken away
... forever.
