Gun Owners: Alan Gottlieb and SAF SUPPORTS Toome/Manchin Bill!?

This Bill is not going to improve the identification of those mentally ill or

criminal element seeking to buy firearms. It will only erode and take away

honest law abiding Americans of their second Amendment rights, Under

no circumstance should anyone trust for one second something brought

forward by Barack Obama or his Administration. It is back loaded with

rights decaying verbage,

Not acceptable to an American.

You LOSE YOUR RIGHTS based SOLELY on an administrative "accusation" of mental illness and have to GET A COURT ORDER to get them back and CAN NEVER DO SO after a deadline has passed.

This is exactly backwards. An American - by definition - would tolerate loss of rights due to mental illness ONLY through ADJUDICATION with NO expiration of the right to petition for relief.

Didn't bother with the rest of the Bill. It cannot be tolerated.

In light of the Supreme Court affirming incorporation of the 2nd Amendment in the 14th with McDonald v. Chicago (561 U.S. 3025) in 2010, inconsistant gun laws by the various states will have to be re-examined. Eventually I can see a single federal law ensuring minimum gun rights to all citizens regardless of the state they live in or travel through.

I've looked up exactly what this compromise bill is supposed to do. As far as I can tell, it requires a background check for gun show sales, or sales resulting from an online ad. But person to person sales amongst "friends and neighbors" still do not require them.

I'm still wary, but if done right, its effects are pretty minimal.

I think we need a President that supports the Constitution
