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.”

Anything and everything can be used as a weapon. Won’t stop me.
Unconstitutional b******t! Again!
No it is not bogus. My husband got a letter from the VA where they were going to list him as mentally incompetent. All because we handle our finances together. Like what married couple does not do that? This was almost a year after he retired. He went and got a mental competency workup done by a psychologist and sent it into the VA so they would not remove his 2nd Amendment Rights. It was listed in the letter he received that they would if he did not provide documentation that he was not mentally incompetent. They do not even have to go before a judge to blacklist you as incompetent it is sickening. This all went down almost 2 years ago. We are still waiting for a reply and every time we contact them they state they have received the letter and will get back to us.
So yes your doctors are lying to you.
Try to stop the Vets from running you a** out of town
Gonna be a hurt!!!!
So basically seen what you wrote he was seeing a psychologist for his PTSD and apparently that individual must have put something in his records in order for them to want to do that I know you can’t say everything but if that was kind of the case I sure would like to know that
The government is scared and taking would be leaders off the do called battle field
This is absolutely NOT BOGUS. My husband received a letter from the VA where they wanted to propose him incompetent all because he told a doctor that we handle our finances together. What married couple does not?
This is a deliberate attack on our Veterans. It is disgusting. I don’t see people losing their Rights for having an accountant but our Vets should?
They do not need even a Judge to make this proposal and your Vet is guilty until he proves he is not mentally incompetent. My Husband had to go to get a competency work up done to prove to them he was not mentally incompetent. When we call them they tell us they have received the work up but have not made a decision yet. That was almost 2 years ago that this had happened.
The VA needs to go my Husband and our Veterans do not deserve this!
Kind of old isn’t it? But it is still TRUE.
Demanding…. another $#%&!@*poc……out he goes
