New Law Asks Are You “Psychologically Competent” to Own a Weapon?
” (Dr. Jerome R. Corsi) - The raging gun debate is about to enter a new phase as Congress moves this week to begin considering new legislation that would impose new restrictions on the Second Amendment.This solution proposed by negotiations between Senator Charles Schumer, a New York Democrat, and Senator Charles Coburn, a Republican from Oklahoma, involves expanding background checks on gun purchases, but the danger is that the criteria of psychological disqualification are so poorly defined that…
What Schumer and Coburn are attempting to do may seem innocuous. Who would object to background checks to keep weapons out of the hands of criminals?
The problem is once the door is opened to background checks, the door is opened to the government making judgments of competency and there is where the infringement of the Second Amendment can be expanded to virtually outlaw guns.
Every adult has some incident in their background that a government bureaucrat with a prejudice against the Second Amendment could judge renders the person psychologically unfit to own a weapon.

In defense of US Senator Charles Schumer, he did in fact respond to me via form letter.
I send numerous emails, letters, make telephone calls, and appear in person at many of the events regarding politicians attempting to damage or destroy the US Constitution. Perhaps this is why “Constitutionalists” are declared as “the new terrorists”, because we have concerns about the nation.
Write or email Schumer, and his office will in all probability respond by means of a form letter, which I respect him for because most of the other politicians did not respond at all or tried to change the subject to evade the issue completely.
The form letter as I recall to the best of my ability states, “The Second Amendment Rights of the US Constitution are Enshrined within the Bill of Rights”. Meaning, it cannot be altered or voided, so politicians will now seek legislation to circle around the Bill of Rights, because they can do it only if the People allow it to happen and, because the politicians want to legislate gun confiscation little by little to avoid outright revolution within the United States. I doesn’t make things right but, Schumer’s form letter did in fact demonstrate a slight degree of concern, understanding, and more courage than 99.9% of other politicians. A much better use of judgement on the gun control issue by Schumer and all politicians would be to simply, Stand Down.
It remains my resolve that anything other than the twenty-seven words of the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights is unlawful and unconstitutional, further violating the Dick Act of 1902 which states that all control in any form or manner is in fact unlawful and unconstitutional.
The Founding Fathers and the Molan Labe 3%, had state of the art weapons for their time period which equaled the weaponry of the opposing forces engaged in confrontational and entagonistic warfare against the Colonies “Across the Pond”. I am not anti-British. I would love to see more of Her Majesty’s subject here as American citizens, I am merely presenting an historic fact as there were attempts to register and disarm Colonists in America, and did engage in blockade of maritime commerce with HM Royal Navy vessels, and again did so in 1812, which many people forgot about because the attempt to seize Control had returned with that doomed effort because of Armed American Citizens and a very high degree of tenacity that we would not surrender and we would not be subjugated by any means.
Politicians today have CCWs handed to them on the spot. Equal regard should be given to all citizens. By not doing the same for the People, only criminalizes the elite class that donates millions of campaign dollars in a Quid Pro Quo (This For That/Something For That) means.
Essentially, I applaud politicians that do have CCWs and enjoy proper use of firearms and they should reciprocate the kindness of the People wishing to engage in the same activities as the politicians enjoy.
Form letter or no , Schumer is a Statist Scumbag . They don’t come much more hypocritical than him . Yes he has a carry permit and like you say ANY politician or celebrity with a little juice can get one . That’s because their lives are worth more than ours . . They all lie and posture and pay lip service to the Constitution until they get behind closed doors and then they put the screws to us .
Amen, to that.
