Larry Pratt is claiming that hundreds of thousands of veterans -- from Vietnam through Operation Iraqi Freedom -- are at risk of being banned from buying firearms if legislation that is pending in Congress gets enacted. How? The Veterans Disarmament Act -- which has already passed the House -- would place any veteran who has ever been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) on the federal gun ban list.

Not true.

LOL, I'd like to see them try.
Can you imagine what would happen if they tried something that foolish?
It'd be like going on a suicide mission for any federal agent or police officer.
