I appreciate that. When I get to speaking about the specifics of this matter--and you used a very broad, general term, like the term ``post-traumatic stress disorder.'' That is something that is, unfortunately, layered upon nearly every veteran that exits service today. So to go out there and have this ability to put people into this NICS, who have this sort of label placed upon them, that is exactly the crux of this that I am getting to that is not specific enough. It does not point to what is specifically an issue that anybody is facing.
