(US Senator) Burr: Ease gun limits for vets

[DDMac]

Okay, last go around. People who just have financial problems are not going to get a "guardian" assigned, are they? There aren't that many legal guardians out there these days.. They get counseling and do the best they can. That's not what I'm talking about at all. I'm talking about people who are incapable of making a decision or making a rational decision. Financial or not. My crazy Aunt Hazel had a guardian, sweet as she was in her older years, she didn't need to drive, spend money, or have a firearm at hand. I'm talking extreme case Tom, and probably temporary at that. As to abuse, sure, and cloaked in the mantra "better to err on the side of caution". Therein lies the necessity of a mechanism to get "unlisted" and removed from the data base.

Then too, it also seems as though 90% of the people I work with who are not veterans are in the upside down monetary boat.   
[/quote]That's the new American economy. Keep the populace as endentured slaves to the corporations... we're all working for the man, shopping at the company store, living in the company housing. No wonder they're scared that we have guns.

Vets deserve respect and assistance in returning to "normal" life because we took them out of their lives and stuck them in some sandbox hellhole to do unspeakable things, so they deserve our assistance and care in coming home. I think it should be a law that vets get VERY LOW interest credit cards (with limits, of course) to help them get back on their feet, and all the banks should have to share that load.

I am 100% for vets and 100% for 2nd amendment, but if someone is having a mental problem, letting them have guns before they are well...that's a touchy subject and a tough line to walk.
