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.”
MOVE TO PAGE 2:
This is against the laws of our land
How stupid
The govt can try, but legal gun owners far outweigh those in the US govt.
Those who are to protect and serve their country and are trained to use force with skill are the most respected people who have an absolute RIGHT to own and use their weapons!
But they won’t prosecute the real criminals.
Vets don’t just parade around with guns on their shoulders, they also know how to use them……….
Why take guns away from our Vets. They are the ones trained to use them don’t take that away from them
That just shows how afraid Obama and HILLARY are.
looks a little strainge to see a bald guy headbanging,js
All i can say good luck coming after us vets
Only in Death does a Veteran give up his weapon.
