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.”

Screw the va
Why? They fought for our country. Leave them alone!
Tick tock…….
The problem is, is that these vets have not been found to be mentally incompetent, as the Idaho case proves! The VA sent a letter to that vet informing him they were coming to confiscate his firearms. Hundreds of people showed up on that vets lawn including the sheriff and representatives from two other states to stop the federal over-reach. Needless to say, that vet kept his firearms and rightfully so!
This is not just stupid, it’s just plain ignorance on Obama’s part. How much more stupid can he get??
Don’t you just love our traitors in gov let’s get rid of this c**p
Illegal is absolutely right!!!!! Don’t even try Obama!!!!!
BS let them try
Not going to happen to this veteran. I would rather die as a free man than live as a slave!
When that happens – then we are called to take our country back to reality!!!
