Schumer Pushes for Military to Report Applicants' Drug Use to Prevent Gun Purchases
Schumer Pushes for Military to Report Applicants' Drug Use to Prevent Gun Purchases
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011...un-purchases/#
"WASHINGTON -- If someone admits to a federal official that he's used illegal drugs, that information should be sent to the FBI so that person can be disqualified from purchasing a gun, Sen. Chuck Schumer said Sunday............."
There are a number of angles to this story. One, if it's passed it would encourage people to lie on their applications.
Another is "sent to the FBI". This is just a step away from having other "information" sent to the FBI.
All you folks with PTS....................

Roger that, and I'm sure that's the intent.

First that, then you've taken anti-depressants, then if you have a family history of mental illness, the list will be endless.

Why isn't he asking that they test all welfare, food stamps, unemployment, and other entitlement recipients for drug(s)??

Probably because none of them swore to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. If you're planning on pissing all over the Constitution, you have to know who your enemies are.

Just what we need - more bureaucracy to generate even more bureaucracy to keep an eye on yet another group of minimally qualified watchdogs who could give a $**t less as long as they're collecting their $. And then there are the $$$$ of staffing, running, and monitoring such a program - Oy vey, was fur ein fortz n' zovver!

Oh, I don't know about that. You would probably be cutting back on the force as you try and grow it because the workload would be drying up so fast.
But then you may have a point. No government agency - except the Military - seems to ever get smaller. Just more government workers sitting around trying to look like they have something to do.

Showman
Anecdotal information in link below but Schumer should worry about his own "house" first.
How many House and Senate members (and staffers) have been stopped for DUI...how many use drugs, prescription or otherwise?? Goes to judgment, just sayin'...
This is not a direction that we want our country to go. Schumer is an opportunistic fraud and a showman. I don't see him trying to ban politician's driving cars on Chappaquiddick.

Didn't President Obama admit to cocaine use when he was younger? Isn't the nuclear arsenal far more dangerous than a firearm?

As a recruiter... good Lord. This terrifies me. I would say 50% of juniors/seniors in high school that I talk to either smoke pot or are on ADD/ADHD medicine.
Quick.. someone get the 2nd Amendment a flak jacket!

They want our guns as badly as they want our privacy and our money. They'll get it all if we don't vote the rest of the marxist bastards out of office next term.

Should we go through the politicians that that would be exempt from this new law? We could start with Patrick Kennedy. Hollywood would be devoid of firearms. Oh wait!! Congress would exempt themselves from this as they have other legislation. Some how their would be an escape clause for contributors as well. Just the peasants would have to comply. Certainly not the gods in D.C. and their supporters.
