The NRA would never back anything that could have any remote possibility of harming anyone's 2nd Am. rights. Trust me. "Those blocked from buying a gun due to these newly provided and updated records in the NICS are already prohibited under current law from owning firearms. ... This provision addresses concerns about disability decisions by the Veterans Administration concerning our brave men and women in uniform. (In 2000, as a parting shot at our service members, the Clinton Administration forced the names of almost 90,000 veterans and veterans? family members to be added to a 'prohibited' list; H.R. 2640 would help many of these people get their rights restored.)"
