Bill #11 |
2014 Gun Bills: |
2013-14: Sponsored H.0467 (BAD): Mandates the State notify the National Instant Criminal Background Check System when a person is treated for mental illness, whether hospitalized or not hospitalized, so that the person will now appear as a "Prohibited Person" (ie. felon) and will be forever barred the possession of firearms.
There is currently, no way out of the NICS even if the person is no longer a threat, or found not to be mentally ill.
There is NO provision to EVER remove this prohibition!
This type of law is CONTINUOUSLY updated with new restrictions and clauses.
Bill #12 |
“Mr. Speaker: I respect differing opinions on this issue, and I respect and understand concerns expressed that this will be just a ‘first step’.
However, I support this legislation because it is a recognition that there are times that people should not have access to guns, even if only temporarily.
I have the utmost respect for veterans, including those that served this country in Iraq. But we need to be clear that any veteran that needs help after returning home and is in need of treatment has nothing to fear from this bill. But IF a veteran, or anyone, has developed mental health issues such that they are a ‘danger to themselves or others’ then I would want that person’s name on the National Data Base. I only wish that the individual that shot and killed Chris Kyle and his friend had been on that list.”
