[QUOTE="abajaj11, post: 3061624, member: 3553"] Here is my note, please feel free to use and redistribute: Dear Senator, As a concerned citizen of Oklahoma, I agree with Gun Owners of America that S. 2135 is one of the worst gun control proposals in over a decade for a bill that has a serious chance of passing. The Cornyn-Schumer bill seeks to enforce existing gun control. But the unenforced statutes and regulations surrounding the 1968 Act (18 U.S.C. 922(g)), the 2007 Veterans Disarmament Act, and the regulations implementing them (27 CFR 478.11) are so bad that they, if fully enforced, would disarm millions -- perhaps tens of millions -- of decent Americans. 27 CFR 478.11 disarms a person if a "lawful authority" determines they are a "danger" or are unable to manage their checkbook. "Lawful authority" means a psychiatrist who determines whether a person is eligible for federal benefits. Under these provisions, over 257,000 veterans have lost their guns. And, in 2016, Barrack Obama promulgated regulations which would trawl the SSI disability rolls to do the same for perhaps millions of people on disability. Congress was shocked, the regulations were disapproved. The next anti-gun president could do the same with Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the children's health program, ObamaCare recipients, etc. He could do this for people with guardians, or people suffering from ADHD, PTSD, post partem depression, regular depression, OCD, or even Alzheimer's, which currently affects upwards of 40 million people according to an NIH study. And Congress would not be able to generate the 2/3 vote in both chambers to overturn a veto of any legislation seeking to overturn his actions. Or take people on medical marijuana lists. Or in diversion or treatment programs. They will be put on the gun ban list under 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(3). That's a 100% certainty. Or take states like New York, which sent 30,000 names to NICS, pursuant to the SAFE Act, because their private psychiatrist turned them in. Or take California, which allows an ex parte gun ban without any hearing because a friend or relative complains about you. Or take states like Massachusetts, which banned guns for 430,000 people on the basis of unanswered "bench warrants." We know that large numbers of vacationers with unpaid speeding tickets are losing their guns because of this. And you can see what a Massachusetts cop told Gun Owners of America about how an unpaid traffic ticket can lead to a gun ban: [URL]http://gunowners.me/2BXpgze[/URL] For these reasons and more, I strongly urge you to OPPOSE the Cornyn-Schumer bill (S. 2135).
