Cops were not happy to find no guns and they got upset when he would not tell them where they were stored. One is his great grandfathers 1894 Winchester, it is well used, beat up, but a family treasure that has been passed down and he wants it to go to his son some day and not have some cop 5 finger it or have the cops destroy it. Besides the rifle he had his shotgun for pheasant and deer hunting. I made safe room and when things are sorted out he gets them back. In the meantime he just goes shooting with me.
    My head is spining right not reading all of this. I am a few years away from being a civilian and none of what I am reading makes any sense. What the hell is our country turning into? Flippin scary!

    People no longer trust our government, wonder why, but because of this it breeds fear and the boogy man is around every corner, whether true or not. Only thing I can tell you is buy shares in tinfoil and be sure you have your fair share of tinfoil in stock for use in the future.

    Medical doctors have scant qualifications or license to diagnose psychiatrics.

    Am noting here Jim that you are seeing a mental health doctor. Not a medical doctor. Which It appears is what the VA doctor in question is. Personally I can’t see where a medical doctor would be qualified to make any judgments or diagnoses on a persons mental states. Past referring there patient to psychiatric care.

    In my state of Illinois here. Since the 1968 gun control act. Which was Illinois knee jerk reaction to JFK’s assassination as was the Federal act. Doctors are required by Illinois State law to report several phyc diagnoses. Which they diligently do. But the doctor reporting must actually have a license to practice Phyc. In short your dentist works on your teeth and does not turn in his opinions on your mental health to the state. Any more than your auto mechanic would.

    My guess is if this VA patient had enough money. He’d be capable of paying a physiatrist for a proper evaluation and a lawyer to straighten this mess all out. Term down trodden comes to mind. When you get down you get shoe tread marks on your back. From people stomping on you. Having someone tread on you that is supposed to be helping you is just plain hurtful.

    People used to say the same thing to people who claimed that the Government was spying on us. Turns out they were. I don't put anything past this corrupt Government because time has proven that if they can do something, they will. It's no secret that this Administration is anti gun. They've even tried to get doctors (normal, everyday medical, not mental doctors) to ask us if we own guns and report it. I wonder why.

    People no longer trust the government because the government has shown many many times they are not to be trusted.

    Those willing to vote for 'the lesser of two evils'. The voting for evil can only bring more evil.

    One can quit voting for 'the lesser of two evils' in the next election.

    Explain to me how voting for the lesser of two evils will solve any problems? In the last two election, we've had the choice between a left wing extremest, and two slightly less extreme left wingers. How is voting for them going to get a good conservative into office? The Republican Party will nominate whoever they think will get votes. Your voting for RINOs, so that's who they nominate. All your doing is slowing the decay of this nation, not stopping it.

    It's simple. If you want me to vote for the Republican candidate, you better make sure he/she's not a RINO. Your not going to get it any other way period. That's a fact of life and you ******** about us not voting isn't going to change that. If the Republicans nominate a good conservative this time, they will be our next president. If they nominate a RINO, well I hope you like Hitlerly because the RINO isn't going to get the votes needed to win no matter what you say or do.

    I vote in every election. There are third party candidates. Read the ballot you are given the next time you vote.

    PS

    Or if one doesn't like any of the third party choices, one can write in someone who would be good.

    And just how many 3rd party candidates have you helped get into office?

    One can write in someone who would be good?? Might as well just vote "present". Does as much good.

    I'm not real happy with the way things are going, not only here but in the world in general. But tell us this, where else yould you rather live?

    Better you count your Blessings.

    You better enjoy your blessing while you have them. Keep voting for RINOs, and the Dems will keep winning. You can kiss those blessings good bye.

    Well now.Seeing as how LEO`s are required to see the dept shrink after an officer involved shooting or after an investigation at a really nasty crime scene ect,when are they going to be stripped of their right to keep and bear arms?This IS a valid question.That should thin the herd.
    Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.

    OK, I clicked the "view post" option.

    Can't win the argument? No It just wondered way off topic, with you wishing to do nothing rather than something. Doing nothing is a senseless option but some follow that, and for all intents and purposes vote "present" just as our glorious leader did when Senator. Very wise choice, or maybe a total foolish one. I'd say the latter.

    YUP! A vote for the loser just to prove a point is senseless. But go ahead and make a point that no one will see.

    No sense arguing with a ----, how does that saying go??
