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.”

Anyone found incompetent by a court of law can loose their guns this has been the law along time these misleading articles just want to stir people up not helping at all
You veterans are the only saving grace Americans have.
Why so they cant protect us or themselves
What goes around comes around, I wonder what the crime rate is among vets that own guns.I will guess it is miniscule.The veterans and supporters will out number the present military in all branches 10 fold.If they are found to be mentally unstable to retain a firearm then it is only prudent to relenquish, but I find it hard to believe there is that many invthe grand scheme
Veterans have never in history been the problem, its always been the rulling govts
Hahahahaaaa. BS…. Let them try…..

Even if you are muslim?
Good luck with that stupid plan.
Obama thinks its OK to arm the Muslims countries who are destroying every country they touch. But our Vets are a threat? To what? His agenda to stop the Muslim take over here.
