Also, is your point is that former service members should be subject to more stringent gun control requirements? Afterall, the Alabama anti-government kidnapper who hid in a bunker designed to withstand an attack by the government was also former military. Likewise, the world's greatest sniper was against gun control was, of course, a former member of the service and was also killed by a former service member. So, you make a very powerful point about having more stringent gun control laws applied toward those in the military, but I think that would unduly discriminate against the men and women who served our country.
Instead, rather than targeting former members of the armed forces, as you do in your list, I would push for gun control laws that apply uniformly.
