“Lone Survivior” Suprising Statement On Obama Gun Control


Luttrell Comments Miss The Mark

Luttrell seems like a reasonable person, and he wants to give the benefit of the doubt to our commander in chief.

“Let me put this out to you, man. I applaud him [Obama] for trying to do something, alright.”

“Something has to be done. I mean, I think that should be said, too. Everybody takes jabs at him [Obama] but he’s trying to do something. I get that,” Luttrell argued. “And I’m not 100 percent on this, but didn’t they open up that if you get a psych eval and the doc thinks you’re crazy he can turn you over to the feds?”

“Yeah. I don’t see, why is that a problem? I mean, people get driver’s licenses and — I don’t think that’s an issue. In 2016, I don’t think that that’s a problem,” Luttrell said.

The problem is that virtually all of the mass killers in the last several years actually had passed a background check. But more importantly, many of the people on the “psych” list that prevented them from buying a gun were veterans who were judged incapable of managing their own finances, but were not violent or a threat to others. That should not preclude gun ownership. And it is easy to see that expanding this limitation so that individuals targeted for harassment or for other vindictive reasons could easily be put on the list in some arbitrary, secretive way. Currently the “no-fly” list is a case in point, since it is a list that no-once can say how they ended up on the list, no one is accountable for explaining why they put someone on the list, and it is almost impossible to be removed from the list. The mental limitation could be easily abused and become a tool for gun confiscation.

Luttrell is a hero, but his thinking here is shallow and needs to be reconsidered. Barack Obama is a political animal, and he certainly did not propose rules that will have not teeth. There is much more to the Obama proposal that anyone knows, and it is best to undo his executive order as fast as humanly possible.
