Ok...here goes:

"To take this group out of the system and give them ready access to guns, that's just not a good idea," said Kristen Rand, legislative director of the Violence Policy Center in Washington. "It's a sad fact that veterans have increased risk of suicide and increased risk of mass shootings, but that's reality."

So it was ok to give them a gun and ship them off to a war zone to protect YOUR freedoms, but when it comes to THEIR (our) freedoms they (we) are just 2nd class citizens? Hey, white males between the ages of 26 - 45 are at the highest risk for suicide, statistically speaking of course. Why not prevent them from obtaining legal firearms too right?

I think I'll be keeping my firearm thank you. And yes I'm a veteran, and no I do not have any reason, legal or otherwise for not owning a firearm. I'm a responsible, legal CCW holder.

I swear, gun-control proponents are some of the most selfish, adolescent, dispicable, lying, form of scum on the earth, just behind pedophiles and murderers. Learn the FACTS before spouting out your lies and half-truths.

Sgt Dan;

Keep in mind, these aren't actual restrictions, "it's for their own safety".

Yeah, right. And I bet they believe in the Easter Bunny and Santa, too.

Shellback,

Were / are you Navy or Marine? Former Marine here....was on the USS Essex in 04....crossed the equator a couple times (to Australia) but our CO (Col) and the ship's Capt decided not to allow any shellbacking ceremonies or hazing. We were all a little bummed about that. Anyways...Semper Fi!

Let me be the first to say women should be disallowed firearms 1 week out of the month, during menopause and pregnancy.
That shouldn't be too hard to enforce should it?

Former Navy here. I do know the difference between former and ex (LOL). I became a Shellback in 1992 abours USNS Tanner on our way to Rio. Today's military ain't what it used to be. There was hazing but it wasn't anything serious. Although I did lose my lunch after the King Neptune incident....

This is ridiculous.

Give guns to everyone who wants them.

That way if a deranged man ever runs shootin' through a campus, there will always be some sane person armed and ready around to shoot him down.
