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.”

There is gonna be piles and piles of politicians and cops bodies, and anyone else stupid enough to try to disarm an armed individual
Amen I served 4 years and can shoot well, we had take apart and clean our M-16 in a few minutes. I feel I should always be able to have a gun.
So they were good enough to pack while in the service; but they are too stupid to have one now that they are out of the military?

Vet’s don’t give up your guns
So wrong at any angle!
I was 68 to 72. My brother was 67 to 71. He went to Vietnam, I went to a SAC base in Alaska.
Why is the federal government positioning itself against the American people?
