"a "lawful authority" In New York, this includes welfare case workers, employees of Child Protective Services, Dep't. of Mental Hygiene, and other busybodies (always female - isn't that strange?). You do something they don't like? Your female friend wants to ruin you? That's all it takes - you're toast. Right now, these maniacs have the power to have anyone with a prior history of psychiatric treatment kidnapped and dragged to a hospital for "observation". My lady friend (psychiatric post-commitment counselor, has masters degree in psych) constantly has to prevent these zealots from "arresting" her patients because they spoke too loudly to someone at 7/11, wore what they wanted (instead of what the helpful person thought was appropriate) etc. |

I assure everyone that the police unions have already worked out their wording for the next contract to prevent cops who are mentally unstable from having their records exposed to anyone - and there's no prosecutor on Long Island that will throw away his job to try. I attempted to find out why a Peace Officer with an admitted history of heroin, crack, etc. use can keep his job and his gun (let alone go to jail). I'll give you a hint: guess what they look like. |

how are they going to enforce this. the privacy advocacy groups are NEVER going to allow Johnny Pawn &Hauck access to your medical records. The current NAC only works for hand guns anyways. There is no Brady wait for Shotguns, or Long rifles. Or gee, if I am a criminal, I will just go STEAL guns, like they have always done. |

I'm not an expert but I believe most states have a instant background check. Those names would be added to that list. Billy Bobs pawn shop will not know the exact reason your denied - just that your denied. I wonder what the ACLU has to say about this? -- Panic, not all cops are in a Union. And I don't see how the Union can control what the VA or local doctors report. |

Uhh Panic, I'm trying to guess but I just don't know what they look like. How 'bout a hint? (I'm tempted to post a pic to see if I fit your criteria, but will wait for more details first) But to be more serious, does "an admitted history" mean used to use, or "has been using for a period of time" to you? Just trying to get clarity on that. Anyone using illegal drugs should not have guns, and certainly not be representing the law. -Mike |

"Anyone using illegal drugs should not have guns, and certainly not be representing the law" Illegal drug user could be a elderly person who orders there meds from overseas. Just because the Government says they are illegal doesn't have anything to do with your rights under the Constitution. Recall the prohibition era. Govt told you alchol was illegal. "Anyone using illegal drugs should not have guns, and certainly not be representing the law. " We elected a president who smoked but didn't enhale, lol. Then elected a twice convitced drunk driver. And now we are about to elect another admited drug user, Obama. |

"And now we are about to elect another admited drug user, Obama." Hmmm, are the nominations over, is the election over? Obama is running, he is not elected, he is not nominated yet, nor is it guaranteed that he will be. Your comment should say "We now have an admitted drug user running for the Democrat Party nomination". Carry on.... just a walk-by posting.... |

MikeJ your 110% correct. I too hate it that people are calling a winner and less than 10% of the voters have had a chance to vote. |
