[QUOTE]Originally posted by IWISHIHAD: [QB] This potential law is such an open gate for lawsuits and major problems that i am not sure i really care what happens with it. If passed i see nothing but eventual problems when they try to enforce it. What happens when a large number of vets(lets say rolling thunder) decide to protest the law by packing and they force the police to have to arrest them and the media gets involved. Many of these Vets are not what some politicians are trying to portray them as, many have a lot more pull than many think and a lot more money than most think they do, even though many are combat vets. What some of these politicians try and make people think is that the majority of combat vets are nuts, maybe so, but they still want our votes. The majority of vets are not the ones committing these acts that Machiavelli is talking about it's a very very small percentage. Machiavelli are you talking about a weapon or a gun in your phrase? :) Again are they allowed to discriminate against a particular group because a very small percentage do something wrong. In the 2000 Census there were 26,549,000 vets in the US and Puerto Rico. I am not sure how many combat veterans are in the US now, but with the amount increasing everyday from Iraq the number has to be very large. The wording on this document is rather vague maybe it is suppose to be that way. The pharse "Anyone that is a tiny bit of a danger to himself or others will have his gun rights taken away". That catagory could be singled out for many citizens not just Vets. The big question is, if someone wanted to hurt themselves or others why would they need to buy a legal gun, it really does not matter to them in the end and no law will stop that from happening. This new law does not solve any problem, it will just create more problems, and a lot more expenses. An issue that i am actually much more concerned about is the dwindling of the Code of Federal Regulations(CFR) and the way the VA is misinterpreting these laws to turn down veterans seeking disability compensation. The VA is really hurting Veterans(especially the young ones) by misusing (misinterpreting) the laws. [/QB][/QUOTE]
