The original article made it sound like it was a a lot worse than it was. I think it's important to get this type of information out when it happens, but I am so tired of people blowing stuff out of proportion to cause a panic response. I really wish there were some trustworthy media outlets that would report on this stuff with just the facts and not all of the bias and panic-mongering. It doesnt matter if its isolated or a mistake. It matters that they are indeed confiscating guns.

It matters that they are indeed confiscating guns. I am not saying that confiscating guns is good. There is a huge difference between confiscating guns from one person, and mass confiscations though. I would not have a problem with that article, and the ones like it if they had presented just the facts instead of trying to cause a panic. In my opinion crap like that is at least in part, why a lot of people think that the average NRA member and by association the average gun owner is a tin-hat wearing, paranoid, delusional moron living in a bunker and stock-piling weapons. Over the top alarmist rhetoric doesn't help further our cause, and in some cases can even hinder it.
Listen, this is how I see things progressing. Lets say Im crazy. I want to go to Dr. and get help. If I get my meds I am fine. SOOO If I do this they will come a knocking and confiscate weapons. Hmmmm? No thanks, I wont do it. One day I feel realllly crazy and go wacko guns a blazing. How does this law help again? Plus once confiscation starts and the precedent is established where will it end?
They are just taking guns from people who take certain types of meds is what I am reading? Unless I am missing something? I won't mind seeing guns taken out of the hands of people who need medication to stay sane, I have seen people get off their meds and they are coo coo for cocoa puffs.
I bet the returning soldiers in NY with PTSD are getting real jumpy! Let the exodus begin.
what a bunch of Bull sheet ... my blood boils when they are making examples out of people who are not the problem...and why they are getting away with it is beyond me .....
