Specifically speaking, there is a new bill being proposed called the Veteran Disarmament Bill, HR 2640. It makes for a lifetime gun ban on any veteran who has been deemed to have suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, regardless of whether or not the person overcomes or only has slight impairment from the condition.
So, say you see a veteran, honorably discharged, who refuses to give up his deer rifle, and who takes it hunting. Are you going to uphold HR 2640 (if it gets enacted into law), arrest this fellow on felony charges, and haul him off to jail?
Or are you going to stand by the Constitution (2nd Amendment, 10th Amendment, and other applicable federal law) and allow the guy to exercise his freedoms?
You are "sworn to protect and to serve". But whose legal words do you enforce? Those of James Madison and Thomas Jefferson?
Or those of Carolyn McCarthy (Dem - NY) and Charles Schumer (Dem - NY)?
