Depression And Gun Confiscation

Rate this question

Question

Wondering how many folks out there realize they are suffering from moderate to severe depression caused by effects of diabetes, IHD and all secondary issues that come with these diseases. Then, think about all the comments about refusing people with depression to own guns or get a CHL to carry weapons. Because of this, they refuse to seek help for their depression. Are VETS being targeted for gun confiscation and is the VA providing information concerning mental health to authorities?

Just wondering what people think on this subject and if it is worth going to VA over depression, even though knowing that NOT going, could prevent compensation for this illness.

It's Hell to get old...things hurt, things quit working, BUT, it sure beats the alternative.

I would not worry about it that much.

Veterans deserve real choice for their health care.

I think in order to confiscate guns or deny carry permit you must have been committed to a mental institution by a judge. They call it the Baker Act in Florida.
