NRA Wants Mentally Ill To Have Gun Rights

[Lakhota]

After the massacre at Virginia Tech in 2007, Congress did manage to pass a modest measure that was designed to provide money to states to improve the federal background check system. But the N.R.A. secured a broad concession in the legislation, which pushed states to allow people with histories of mental illness to petition to have their gun rights restored.

As a condition of its support for the measure, the National Rifle Association extracted a concession: the inclusion of a mechanism for restoring firearms rights to those who lost them for mental health reasons.

The NRA also backed Romney...so clearly the NRA is not for gun rights. I own guns and hate the NRA. Your tyranny-huffing will not work on me good sir.

Lie and another fail.

I was an NRA member for about 30 years - until they went totally psycho.

Has anyone else noticed the Cabela's ammo and reloading ad on USMB? I noticed it on the right side of the politics board.

im sure those ads are tailored to your personal browsing history, not the site.

Seriously, why would the NRA want the mentally ill to have gun rights?

You oppose the right of people to go to court and prove that they aren't actually crazy?

Maybe we should prevent mentally ill people from voting or driving cars forever too.

To own or have access to guns? Once they have a documented mental illness? Yes I do!

Oh, my, god.... DUE PROCESS!!!!

For the first, and likely last time, we agree.

The question is, however, can you and others on the right be consistent with your advocacy of due process.

Once they have document mental illness? You're saying a person should not be allowed to defend themselves in court? How exactly would a person defend themselves against a over zealous anti gun freak with a PHD on the wall?

I'd prefer you stopped wasting oxygen. But it's not my place to decide your fate.

Nope, it's a fact. Even had NRA stickers on the bumber of my old Ford hunting truck. That ended nearly 20 years ago. Now, I'd be ashamed to display an NRA sticker anywhere on my vehicles.

You are not a gun owner so why would you have a hunting truck?

 

[TakeAStepBack]

It's actually a Nissan pick-up. With a "gun lover" bumper sticker.

My Weatherby magnums will be sorry to hear that.
