Here's some brilliance from Richard Burr or North Carolina...

Major Nidal Hasan, accused of killing 13 people at Fort Hood Army
base, has been described by former colleagues as "psychotic." As more
details emerge about Hasan's troubled state, gun safety advocates are
launching fresh attacks on a Senate bill they say would make it easier
for mentally unstable veterans to buy firearms.

Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) says his "Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection
Act" will protect veterans' gun rights. But the Brady Campaign to
Prevent Gun Violence calls it a "dangerous" proposal that could allow
"over 100,000 mentally incapacitated or incompetent persons" to buy
guns--people who would previously have been barred from doing so by
the Veterans Administration (VA).
