    WASHINGTON -- If someone admits to a federal official that he's used illegal drugs, that information should be sent to the FBI so that person can be disqualified from purchasing a gun, Sen. Chuck Schumer said Sunday.

    Noting that the alleged shooter in the Tucson massacre had admitted to military recruiters that he had used drugs on several occasions, Schumer said he is proposing to the Justice Department and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives that the military be required to notify federal officials about such admissions. The New York Democrat said such a process does not require new legislation.

    Kinda makes no sense. I thought he was disqualified because he popped positive proving actual usage. Kinda like disqualifying people for having being drunk once. The paperwork states that if you're a drunkard you cannot use it.

    Not that I am saying that druggies should be able to buy a gun. But there's a slim line between people that admit to having used drugs and alcohol than being a habitual user of both.
