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:
THE VA DOES NOT OWN OUR VETS! THIS KIND OF THINKING WAS DONE AWAY WITH WHEN THE SLAVES WERE FREED! GIVE THE VETS THEIR MEDICAL RIGHTS, LEAVE THEIR GUN RIGHTS ALONE! THEY ARE HEROS!
Strip the 2nd amendment from those who defended it. People would be wise to see which Republicans and Democrats voted for this. And VOTE THEM OUT !!
Why are the words in columns so small to read?
They ought to worry more about taking care of them than getting their guns.
THIS SOUNDS LIKE$#%&!@*GERMANY AND$#%&!@* THIS CAN’T BE AMERICA.
WTF
No government agency has the authority to make any ban, polocy or law that has to do with the right to bear arms. They do not have the authority to undo the constitution and the 2nd ammendment, not even the president has that authority, nor does congress. It is a set law and to do so is treason
No they’re not it’s a lie
Quit freaking out sheeple.
I’d trust them more quickly than I would the government.They’re already demonstrated they’re not willing to be victims.
