We need to get in there and not let the anti-gun crowd control the discussion or this years round of Bills will be the Good-Ol-Times.
Oh indeed... I was commenting that usually when you put Democrats in charge of something, objectivity and impartiality go out the window. Something tells me that they won't allow for an impartial, removed, and emotionally dispassionate group to aid in determinations. And if they do in fact allow for sound and unbiased determinations, who decides what is "potentially dangerous" in terms of diagnoses? I see this as a very slippery slope, especially with the inclusion of "alcohol abuse." By some definitions, drinking more than one night a week would be considered abusive behavior.
