EH, there is some ex nam vet somewhere who can't own a gun because he was depressed in 1969...I do not know him but am sure he exist.

JM is trying really hard to lose, at first I thought "no way does BO win"
but everyday I get more and more disgusted with JM.

God Help Us!

Wrong. They had to have been judged mentally incompetent by a court. Depression and treatment for depression does not create any sort of record that affects NICS. Larry Pratt's rants were lies that quoted California laws as if they were part of the NICS overhaul. They were not.

Manedwolf's correct.  It has to be judged by a court - take it from a vet who's being treated for PTSD.  I don't want to lose all my firearms because of what the VA's giving me, so I have been checking into this supposed threat.  It's not there.  The GOA screams about it, but the truth is a judge has to find one mentally unfit before they lose their guns, no different than what's already established out there.

What IS the standard for mental unfitness for US courts?

Also, isn't anybody who's been involuntarily committed also at risk?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

I do not smoke pot, wear Wookie suits, live in my mom's basement, collect unemployment checks or eat Cheetoes, therefore I am not a Ron Paul voter.

 It is far far too early to predict who will be the next president.  I think McCain's chances are better than what one might predict from looking at the current polls. 
Congress is another matter.  The repukes have basically scre*ed themselves the way they've been spending the past 8 years.  Hopefully they will retain enough power to throw a wrench into any real serious antigun laws being proposed.

I've got the perfect solution for all of this.  Obama taps McCain as VP.  They agree on pretty much everything, and McCain brings experience and national security to the ticket. :puke:

Then the GOP can nominate someone worthwhile....
