The Obama administration and the Democrat party insist that their efforts to impose gun control on the nation are only designed to protect the public and to take guns out of the hands of criminals and potential terrorists. The reality is much darker.
The effort is really incremental and intends to prohibit gun ownership to anyone not in a government position of power such as a police officer or other government agency. One way to do that is to segment groups one at a time so that they can be disarmed with little fanfare. The “no-fly” list is a good example, in that it is almost impossible to find out why an individual is on the list, and equally impossible to be removed from the list. But if you are on the list, no firearms for you!
There are various groups that are now targeted, and Obama’s recent mandate sought to recruit family members and friends to “rat out” individuals they want to have disarmed. That includes ex-spouses with an axe to grind, and others who simply want to harass an individual. The concept is anti-American in that it takes away a right to own a weapon without due process or even a charge of wrong-doing. One of the more insidious schemes is to prevent veterans from owning guns, and it has nothing to do with a threat to society or a criminal history.

This is a shame.
Excuse me. By what right has the VA done this? If they mental cases why are they on the street?

All that is necessary to understand the rabid efforts to disarm law-abiding American citizen gun owners is to realize that liberal gun control efforts have nothing to do with child safety, nothing to do with public safety, nothing to do with safety of anybody, or anything of the kind. Liberal gun control is about one thing, and one thing only. That one thing is the liberal/socialist’s need to disarm those who would resist, thus impede, their ability to implement the socialist, centralized, big government, cradle to grave, control of people, who, in the liberal elite’s opinion, are not smart enough to make the important decisions necessary to take care of themselves. The only thing preventing obama (and ilk), from imposing their vision of the socialist, sunshine, unicorn, butterfly, and rainbow utopia upon America is that they have been unable to disarm 150-200 million Americans of some many more millions of firearms. Additionally, neither have these socialist elites been successful at dissuading these 150-200 million law-abiding, citizen, firearm owning citizens from standing/fighting/dying for the principles in which they believe.
THIS SHOULD BE UNCONSTITUTIONAL – ILLEGAL AND UNLAWFUL – WHY ARE AMERICANS ALLOWING A FEW PEOPLE TO STRIP THEM OF THEIR CONSTITUTION?
VA doctors ask if you want to hurt yourself or someone else. Yes to ether question will get your gun rights taken. Not to worry I have plenty to loan and so do my friends.
