[Kirk Freeman]

WHERE DOES IT STOP? WHEN DOES IT STOP? WHAT'S THEIR DEFINITION OF MENTAL STATUS?

You are asking about §922(g)(4)?

Why is Obama constantly devising ways to take or limit gun rights/freedom? He knows the Republicans will not allow it to happen. They have our backs!

Yeah.....way back!

Is this where we play "pretend" on INGO? We are going to pretend that the Commerce Clause does not exist and and the Supreme Court said nothing like "plenary power"?
...

We could pretend that the commerce clause actually meant something and likely even had some limited purpose prior to allowing the government to redefine it as their very own legislative catch-all excuse to intrude upon and regulate every detail of society.

Yes , thanks

No problem, happy to help.

Well, we could pretend that the Bush Administration made Luttig the Chief Justice.

If we get to pretend, let's start there.

Anything that "infringe" is Unconstitutional. And the commerce clause was put in to stop different states from getting into a war over trade. Remember this country was founded on the idea that each state is separate and is joining the union. Not that each state is a subordinate to the union as a whole. The commerce clause was not there to let the federal government regulate everything. And if the only reason we need these infringements is cause of the commerce clause then we should legally be able to buy ANYTHING that is produced in Indiana. And I am all for supporting local businesses. Any tanks made 100 percent in Indiana. I think I need a tank.

States are supposed to be sovereign, setting their own rules and laws, and Abe Lincoln destroyed a lot of that during the civil war. What is lost is hard to regain. If the country would just enforce the laws we have that would go a long way to stop the criminal element.

NRA is backing according to the article. Have to read more, but I saw grant money mentioned which really means it comes out of my pocket somehow.

As a side note, the author used some sketchy, misleading language in the article. The NRA has backed the senator in the past and support him in general. They have not backed this particular legislation as implied by the author.

Exactly. Cornyn didn't say it would eliminate all of the problem. It just closes a hole that no one should have a problem with being closed.

I am not so sure about this. Why should I have no problem with closing a hole in a wall that should not exist at all?

I guess I'm in the minority. I have a problem with everything about this. Your copy of the Constitution must read different than mine??

Thank God for Abe and the commerce clause. Oh, and the great Republicans who protect our rights against the Democrats who do not understand the Second Amendment. They have our backs!

We have enough laws, but some of our politicians just can't seem to grasp the notion that locks keep honest people honest, but does nothing for the criminal.

We have a Constitution that says we can have our guns.
Govt has no reason to bypass the wisdom of the Founding Fathers.
Contact your representatives and help stop this crap.
We've got an eternity to celebrate our victories but only moments to win them.

Is there any article or anything that says that they don't support this? Would not be the first time the NRA has backed something like this
