Helmke on HR 2640
Paul Helmke has a good piece up, but of course, comments are still off. It’s a well written piece; not inflammatory or bombastic, nor attacking anyone. Kudos, Paul. Let’s have more like this.
This is the one area where NICS really does work. I wouldn’t let my 5 year-old have a gun unsupervised, and an adult with the mind of a 5 year-old shouldn’t have one either, as one example. But the restoration of the right is important also. Someone who sold a little weed to his friends 20 years ago, but is now a deacon in his church probably shouldn’t be prohibited.
The Brady Campaign is opposed to due process under the law, why am I NOT surprised? Once the Brady’s are able to get you on a banned purchaser list, they don’t want you to have any legal recourse of getting it reversed, communist’s. The legal system makes mistakes, people should be allowed an appeals process. Damn I really dis-dain these people.
