The NICS expansion bill will simply add the names of the mentally incompetent to the "NICS" list of people who are not qualified to have guns. "These people are already banned from gun ownership by law, which is a good thing," commented the commentator.

The unintended consequences of the bill are just coming to light. People have expressed concern, ignored in the lamestream media and Congress that:

People might avoid seeking medical attention if it means they might lose their rights;
