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.”

Lory,I guess you mean spoof news, kinda like Jon Stewart’s spoof news? Oh wait,a lot of people take Stewart’s news as actual news,right? He’s a comedian on a comedy TV show.
I do hope and pray our vets will refuse to obey this illegal ban.
IS that the same voice of reason that left our men in a office disarmed where some haji could come in and kill them all? REALLY?
I wouldn’t go into a hospital if this becomes the norm. I Was in the hospital yesterday and they asked me all kinds of questions that pertained to disarming us. Wouldn’t answer their illegal questions.
Like the lefties have ever told the truth?
Nope i won’t. Guess that means they will have to send someone in to kill me. Guess what, you first
I have a problem with anyone getting a criminal background check. It violates 2nd amendment. AKA SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED UPON!
Unless the vet has done something illegal with the gun, then you have no right to touch his gun rights
Well, there is the option to not pay any attention to the list. I wouldn’t. There is no law that can be p$#%&!@*ed that deprives you of your God given right to own and posess a firearm, unless you have committed crimes. That is the ONLY relevant reason that they can deny you one, and it is cons$#%&!@*utional only in that way. And cons$#%&!@*utionally if you do commit a crime and pay for your crime then Cons$#%&!@*utionally you have the right to own and posess a firearm once you have satisfied that debt
Your side has perfected Goebbels’ tactic of the big lie. All you people do is lie, lie, lie. One day it will slap you in the face. Hard. Very, very hard.
