Obamacare and guns now married?

Racists are mentally ill. If you disagree with The Big O, the ONLY possible reason for doing so is that you are a racist. Ergo, you get no gun. (replace "racist" with "Misogynist" for when Hillary is The Pres)

Lots of combat veterans will be listed as mentally ill. Can't have guns in the hands of expirienced, trained individuals that take their oaths to the Constitution seriously.

Yeah, this is the problem I have always had with this...what qualifies as mentally ill? Autism? ADHD? Anxiety? OCD? Depression? PMS? Who decides? It's a broad swath of people who could be denied their right to bear arms, most of whom are at no bigger risk of killing someone else than anyone else is.

Not to mention that many of these shooters acquire their guns through friends or relatives anyway, making such a regulation completely useless.

I know a few women who I don't want having a gun when they have PMS. This is why my guns stay locked in a gun locker 350 days a year.

This. Times a million.

Not to mention if the question is framed as "have you ever been to counseling." it's even worse. What kind of counseling? Marriage? Grief? Family Issues? I answer YES, I have been to COUNSELING (talking to a pastor about a family problem), have never been on meds or been diagnosed as being mentally ill, and I can't pass the background check.

It floors me that liberals cannot grasp the slippery slope we are on.

What I don't understand about conservatives is why you seem to ONLY apply this logic to guns and not the rest of people's civil liberties.

I mentioned teen parents above. I don't see what service it does to society to lock up that unborn kid's father, then make him nigh-unemployable by dropping him on the **** list for life. For doing something MOST PEOPLE DO, and having the misfortune of getting caught.

With dope it's even worse. A guy catching 10 years fed time for growing pot in his back yard. 10 ******* years for a plant?

I don't get it. Why are civil liberties ONLY important to you people when it comes to guns (and maybe taxes), but NOTHING else?

Obama has this all figured out. Make people paranoid to go to the Dr. = health care costs go down. Obamacare achieves his goal of reduced cost. Put his face on the $3 bill!

Unfortunately many people are still caught in the old lady morals and mores of the past. Old ladies hate anyone having fun.
