…this adds an exemption of retired military. Umm, as I understand our bill, umm, no issue has arose in this regard during the 10 years the expired ban was effect, err in effect. and what we did in the other bill, was umm, exempt posession by the United States or a department or agency of the united states so that included active military. the problem with expanding this is that you know with the advent of PTSD, uhh, which I think is a new phenomenon as a product of the Iraq war, umm, it’s not clear how the seller or transferer of a firearm covered by this bill would verify that an individual was a member, or a vetran, and um that there was no impairment of that individual with respect to having a weapon like this. so you know I would be happy to sit down with you again and see if we could work something out but um, I think we have to — if you’re going to do this, find a way that veterans who are incapacitated for one reason or another mentally, uh, dont have access to this kind of weapon.
Fineswine is a evil bitch and it won't be too soon when she is out of the senate.
