You keep mentioning COURT ordered counseling, That means A JUDGE ordered it retard. Not a doctor.You are a liar. PTSD does not always include violence nor mayhem. Further there are no civilian statutes that remove 2nd amendment rights without a court order. By the way dumb ass Federal statutes apply to retired military and to veterans as well as active duty military. A lot of cops have PTSD as well. You are such a fucking liar.Here's the deal, about PTSD. It's sometimes used a cop-out when a member of the Military gets drunk and is arrested in a domestic disturbance. The requirements are so broad that a member of the Military doesn't even have to have been in combat. Cite PTSD and everything goes away. The other PTSD arena has to do with good old Uncle awarding a pension to those Vets. who claim to be so mentally incapacitated and prone to incoherent violence because of their time in the Military that they require compensation from the government. The symptoms of PTSD include violent outbursts and antisocial behavior. The question for society is whether we should allow persons with PTSD to "legally" purchase firearms while federal statutes prevent civilians from obtaining firearms for exhibiting the same behavior.
There you go again confusing legitimate restrictions on the 2nd amendment with a mind numbing inaccurate view of the judicial system. Sure, federal statutes apply to retired Military as well as active duty Military and every other freaking citizen. Active Military personnel, retired Military, ass hole kids, stupid hippies, and metrosexual pop-culture elites are automatically restricted from purchasing a firearm if they are convicted of a crime in most states and if they cop a plea to "psychiatric counseling" to avoid conviction they are restricted from purchasing a firearm in most states. Active and retired Military just like the rest of us can have their weapons confiscated (without a court order) if they are arrested in a domestic disturbance in most states. Active and retired Military are both restricted from obtaining a firearm in most states if they are under court ordered psychiatric counseling for civilian related violations from DUI to substance abuse to domestic abuse. The glitch in the law is that the disability disorder of PTSD isn't usually included in the federal and state name check for purchasing a firearm even though it is a mental disorder requiring treatment. Based on two high profile PTSD related incidents I think the PTSD loophole should be closed.
