Motley:  Actually, motley, as one of the most outspoken opponents of locked-ward institutional placement for the mentally-ill, I very much resent your reference to the "Cockoo's Nest".  I support the least restrictive appropriate treatment setting for the mentally ill.  That does NOT include my belief that individuals on SSI with such serious mental-illness that they are signed a conservator should be able to purchase firearms.  

Anti-gun bias?  Not exactly.  I've hunted all my life and still own firearms.  I believe strongly in the Second Amendment and have no desire to "take away" anyone's guns.  That said, I do feel we need to find ways to keep firearms away from individuals who possession of such weapons poses a threat to the rest of us.  That is precisely what the Obama Order was intended to do.  It was only a "small" action and only addressed very disturbed individuals.  It hardly represented a threat to Second Amendment Rights.
