NRA is responding to Gun Owners Negative response to HR 2460
"NICS Improvement Amendments Act" Not Gun Control! is their title of this piece that pushes the slight good of the act and ignores what seem to me to be the redefining of mental illness. In other words, it seems to me to make little difference if I might someday get a finding of mental illness reversed if nearly anything can be declared mental illness. It seems, and perhaps you might think this over reaching, that being a gun "loonie" is possibly grounds for such a finding.
Why do I dare say that? Just take a look at
what passes for a disorder nowadays. Of course mental illness can be very real, but sometimes one has to wonder if these "disorders" are more of an excuse for medication and billable hours.
The worst thing to me is that returning soldiers might be denied their rights solely on some preemptory finding that they suffer from PTSD.
What do you think?
