Some people swear by JPFO, others swear at JPFO. Read the following and draw your own conclusions. For whatever it might be worth, I've been a LIFE MEMBER of NRA since 1973.

JPFO ALERT: SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY


The National Rifle Association has done it.

Again.

Having advertised itself for more than a century as the nation's
foremost defender of the Second Amendment, the NRA has once again
given aid and comfort to politicians -- all of the "usual suspects":
Carolyn McCarthy, Charles Schumer, Patrick Leahy, Harry Reid, and that
perennial Judas goat John Dingell -- as well as to pressure groups
like the Brady Campaign, who are determined to destroy that right, by
assisting passage of a law with the potential to strip hundreds of
thousands of military veterans of their basic right to own and carry
weapons.

This latest slap in the gun owner's face by the overstuffed suits
at the NRA -- the same gang who eagerly signed off on the Gun Control
Act of 1968, despite its origins in Hitler's Germany -- establishes
the "principle" that individuals with the slightest of mental health
"problem" (anyone, for instance, who ever sought professional help for
mild depression or difficulty sleeping) have no inalienable right to
self-defense.

Act, be sure to see _Gun Control: Gateway to Tyranny_, available at:

For politicians, it's a payoff: precisely the response they wished
for, to the latest series of what more and more observers now believe
(however reluctantly) are purposely contrived incidents in which armed
criminals feel free to attack crowds of people they know are unarmed
and helpless because the law -- and some corporate policies -- demand
it.

For the psychiatric profession, it enshrines their practitioners
as powerful arbiters of who may or may not exercise their individual
rights.

For America's gun owners, it's just another aspect of the long,
continuous, cruel hoax perpetrated by the NRA, which collects millions
of dollars in membership money under the false pretense of defending
rights that they have proven willing to bargain away on the slightest
excuse.

In doing so, they have empowered the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms, and Explosives to commit larger and more frequent atrocities
of the kind we've become so familiar with over the years. Given past
behavior, it would not be above them to pay informants, including
those psychiatrists, who will attest to anybody's mental instability,
trusting to the increasingly crooked court system to back the Bureau
up.

Don't let the NRA suits put a fancy spin on it, it's really very
straightforward: first, there was no extra gun law; then there was one
-- thanks to the NRA. The last thing this country needs is another gun
law. It already has 25,000. It needs to start repealing them. All of
them.

There's no way to avoid a simple but apalling truth: the NRA's
crawling into bed with the Brady Campaign is _exactly_ like the
Anti-Defamation League endorsing the American Nazi Party, unthinkable,
unspeakable, and disgusting. And, given the vital role that privately
owned arms have played historically and currently in reducing violent
crime and deterring foreign aggression, it is probably treason, as
well.

Weak, submissive behavior of this kind is not the way for Second
Amendment defenders to enter an era of liberal Democratic political
dominance.

Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership calls upon NRA
President John C. Sigler, Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre,
Executive Director of the NRA Institute for Legislative Action Chris
W. Cox (and any of the 75-member board of directors who approves their
reprehensible actions) to resign their positions, forfeiting all
pensions or "golden parachutes". Not for the first time, by helping to
pass yet another infringement of our rights, these people have brought
shame upon themselves, their organization, on gun owners everywhere,
and especially their country and the Constitution that is its highest
law.

Already read the NRA's report, other reports OF the NRA report, and now this. There has been a lot left out. Like the fact that the bill requires removal after a few months if the person has been deemed "mentally sound." In instances of depression, even "mild" cases can swing to suicidal or vengeful depending on the circumstances of the depression. However after a certain amount of time (IIRC it's somthing like 3 months) the restriction is removed. I see this as a good thing. But it could set precedent for more government invasiveness in our lives or stronger portions of the bill that allow permanent confiscation of the firearms of individuals who seek help for their mental state. Seems like punishment for addmitting you need help.

So there are two sides. One good, one bad. Right now we have good but we may have a pandoras box of bad that could come of it.
 
New rule: Never, ever mention any mental health issue to any medical professional.

Like not giving a statement at the scene that could be used against you, not telling your doctor anything about your thoughts or mood seems to be required from here on out; lets just hope we don't get ex post facto stuff, too.

This will make many people who need and could benefit from help reluctant to seek it.

yup. No matter what, I wouldn't see a psychologist, psychiatrist or counselor. Whatever problem you think you may have could be a question on your 4473 from 20 years frm now.
 
"I wouldn't see a psychologist, psychiatrist or counselor."

Guess I'll have to quit going to work. Or wear a blindfold while I'm there.

Seriously, I wouldn't worry about going for counseling.

Edited to add: For the worry prone - I would be very, very careful about making posts on a public forum that, shall we say, sound just a tad paranoid or overly suspicious.
