I put this on v/whatever but I think it may belong here instead.
I can't find the link but I saw something on the Twit about a Veteran's group currently fighting having their gun rights revoked due to simply seeing a VA psychiatrist; regardless of the reason.
Focusing on keeping guns out of the hands of "the crazies" is so open to abuse. What's to keep Liberals in the future from declaring us all crazy?
This is a dangerous road to go down and I don't think it should be considered. Just like more laws won't keep a psycho from getting his hands on a gun, an additional roadblock on the background checks won't either.
We're being duped.
They're making a huge loud push about repealing A2 so we'll all be lulled into this "minor" concession to make it go away. My bullshit detector is screaming right now.

That's exactly what's going to happen, they will absolutely abuse it. It will come down to "We see you are a registered republican and voted Trump, DENIED"

Continually moving the line to what is deemed a violation. I believe that with PA medical cannibis law it is a violation, and they can infringe and deny your access to exercise your 2nd amendment right.

I believe the premise is that even medical weed is technically still federally illegal so the feds won't let you have a gun if you are currently engaged in the criminal activity of weed use. It will take awhile, but I firmly believe that weed is going to be legal federally (eventually) and this aspect of a gun background check will disappear.

That sounds like a "public position"...
