Senator Charles E. Grassley (R-IA) recently sent Eric Holder a letter when he was Attorney General demanding to know why the VA has been placing veterans on a federal gun ban list – labeling them as “mentally defective”.
Grassley wrote, “The National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) is effectively a national gun ban list and placement on the list precludes the ownership and possession of firearms. According to the Congressional Research Service, as of June 1, 2012, 99.3% of all names reported to the NICS list’s “mental defective” category were provided by the Veterans Administration (VA) even though reporting requirements apply to all federal agencies. 1 And that percentage remained virtually unchanged as of April 2013.2 Given the numbers, it is essential to ensure that the process by which the VA reports names to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for placement on the NICS list recognizes and protects the fundamental nature of veterans’ rights under the Second Amendment.”

BS
This is getting so sad
Congress needs to step in. This is a slap in the face to our vets. They could carry all the guns they wanted when they were fighting for the country. Obama is behind this because he is planning to take over the law enforcement in this country and he knows our vets would be the biggest threat to his taking over this country out there because they are first and foremost, Patriots, true Americans one and all.
Bull
Put them on a list because they were trained by the government to protect our way of life. NOW that same government wants to see them as potential threats? This is some seriously sad stuff. Some vets are poor and on the streets or hardly making ends meat and this is going to get thrown on top!!!
If True THIS IS UNCONS$#%&!@*UTIONAL and anyone and everyone behind it are committing Treason and ALL of them should be HUNG for it now.
