heres what happened

[BILLY D.]

Thats what all the hub bub is about with the bill that just passed in Washington. It's about the release to the public about such things as PTSD and mental illness and the folks whose records, MEDICAL, can not be released for backround checks etc.

Thats how the scum bag from Virginia Tech slipped through the cracks. If his records would have been public he would never been able to pass a backround check. Medical records seem to be the "Holy Grail" as they can't be released outside the Medical Community. That stinks in my book.

The VA Tech kid screamed for help in more ways than one before that incident, AND NOBODY LISTENED. They did all the paperwork and filed it away.

Medical records should be public within reason. A valid reason. I really don't give a rats rump if the whole world knows I have Athletes Foot, or Glaucoma, Dandruff, that I have AB NEG. blood type and have ocassional bouts with constipation, or that I am a Catholic.

If a person is mentally defective it should be knowledge that should be known by employers, police agencies, and any vestige that affects the general welfare of the public.

There have been many on internet Gun And Firearm forums that are very hostile to this law and have gone so far as to call it "The Veterans Disarmament Act".

Where this gets really squishey is with Veterans that are receiving Disability Checks for PTSD. I certainly can understand their concern. The Government can work in some strange and mysterious ways.

If a Veteran is judged not to be stable enough to have a "Firearm", as far as I'm concerned so be it. However, after a few dealings with Psychiatrists I think most of the ones I met were "a half bubble off plumb". But thats neither here nor there.

As long as a person knows the laws for concealed carry and taken a comprehenshive test to prove such knowledge, proven their knowledge and proficiency with a firearm I have no problem with concealed carry.

This leads me to another conundrum. How would I react if I were in a Mall and somebody started shooting up the place? Unless the perp were within mere feet of me, my first move would be to board up little Billy D. 's backside. I don't think I would be real boisterious about shooting when the SWAT Team arrived. I want to look like the rest of "the sheeple". They don't have a single clue who the Da Hell I am. I don't find my body especially attractive after it's been pierced with bullets. Ask me how I know that.

This would become one of those "hooray for me and to heck with you" scenarios. I'm not self centered, neither am I stupid either.

Well enough of the "Typewriter Commando" crap. Hows everything at the "DOGGIE HOTEL"? This will keep ya awake for the afternoon.

Best wishes, Bill
