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.”

They will ban all veterans from owning guns because they are afraid they will become leaders of any resistance to the martial law Obama is planning on implementing in the very near future. People you need to wake up open your eyes and see what Obama is doing Operation Jade Helm is a practice run for declaring martial law and for arresting and jailing anyone who owns guns and veterans and anyone who has spoken out against the current administration.
They are going to stick those they deem are a threat into internment camps. Once your there you may never get out.
They can try to come get mine . One bullet at a time
