LIBERTY ALERT! House Passes Gun-Grab

Washington, DC (TLS). In an effort to 'do something' about individuals such as Cho Seung-Hui and his massacre at Virginia Tech, the U.S. House of Representatives, under the pressure of the Democratic leadership, passed a measure that supposedly closes the 'mentally ill' loophole in gun purchases.

Republicans, along with the NRA, jumped aboard this rank piece of stench in order to appease the gun-grabbers who always use incidents such as this to justify their desire to rid the nation of guns, albeit piece by piece.

To its credit, the NRA succeeded in adding a provision that would allow U.S. Veterans who had been diagnosed with some sort of emotional disorder after their time in service to continue to be eligible to buy firearms.

Well, whoop-t-dooooo.

It's not that this is not an important provision, but what about the millions of other law-abiding citizens who will NOT be afforded an exemption, in spite of the fact that they have no history of violent behavior either toward themselves or anyone else, yet at some point or another they have been diagnosed with depression, panic disorder, or some other quite treatable emotional malady?

Well, under this bill they are shit-outta-luck.

Oh they can go through a process to get their names removed from the national registry that designates them as nuts, but that can be a lengthy, shameful, and embarrassing process.

Rather than bar these fine citizens from buying guns, I have a quite different proposal.

Let's ban anyone who has ever been to a psychiatrist or been treated for ANY emotional disorder from serving in Congress!

With the nutcases in control of things on Capitol Hill, this may be the perfect means of getting some sanity back in Washington.

As for the bill the House just passed, my fellow Americans, 'drop 'em, bend over, and grab 'em,' for you are getting ready to be screwed in the you-know-what by your illustrative representatives in the U.S. Congress.

Our only hope is that this abominable piece of legislation will be stopped in the Senate (which, admittedly, seems unlikely).
