Gun rights

I’m not going to say what I think the “right” vote on this legislation is, but let’s look at what the basic summary is:

To prohibit the confiscation of a firearm during an emergency or major disaster if the possession of such firearm is not prohibited under Federal or State law.

Nothing too extreme in that it reaffirms an already existing right as understood by the courts. So how did our potential Presidential nominees vote?

John McCain (R-AZ) Yea
Barack Obama (D-IL) Yea
Hillary Clinton (D-NY) Nay

Hmmm, that’s odd, as wasn’t Mrs. Clinton recently proclaiming herself the second coming of Annie Oakley? Apparently she’s had a major change of heart in the past year since that vote.

We recently wrote on a similar issue at Brain Blogger. Disgruntled or disturbed patients have come into physician offices and assaulted staff or physicians. This has led some doctors to store firearms in the workplace.

I would like to hear your comments on this issue on our site. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Shaheen
