Proposed "Fix Gun Check Act" / McCarthy & Schumer Bills
NY Congresswoman McCarthy and her Senate counterpart Chuckie Schumer have introduced almost identical legislation to "Fix Gun Checks" that will greatly expand the defiinition of who can not own firearms. It is a clear example of over-reaching legislation that is just the lefts latest effort to thin down who in America is eligible to own a firearm. Please read it and then call or contact your federal representatives.
Here is a link to the legislation:

My reply to the bill is:
"Both bills include a section dedicated to further codifying in federal law what it means to be “adjudicated as a mental defective.” The proposed change would label any person a “mental health defective” who appears to “lack the mental capacity to contract or manage his own affairs,” or is “compelled” to receive counseling or medication."
Remember that time that the doctor prescribed Valium to help calm you down when your father, mother, spouse or sibling passed away? WELL THAT JUST RENDERED YOU INELIGIBLE TO PURCHASE OR OWN A FIREARM OF ANY TYPE UNDER THIS BILL! You reacted NORMALLY to a stressful period in your life, it is NOT PERMANENT, but the record of it and the disqualification that you face is, under this bill from the Anti-Gun Schumer and McCarthy from New York!!
It is a ruse that they are playing in the political arena that they see as a way to insure that fewer Americans are able to own firearms.
What about the police officer who is involved in his first on-duty shooting, where he killed the man who was holding you hostage? Department regulations normally require that the officer meet with the department shrink and might have to take some time off because of the "Post-Shooting Stress" that any NORMAL human being would feel. Because he had to see the shrink, take some time off and maybe take prescription medication to calm his nerves; under this bill, he is rendered ineligible to purchase, own or use a firearm. Does his career end, just because of this bill?
Call your representatives (Congressional Representative or State Senator) and voice your opposition to this vague and far reaching bill to destroy the 2nd Amendment!
