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.”

Taking guns away from people who had been trained to be more proficient in their use. This corrupt government of ours is afraid of an uprising from WE THE PEOPLE. And they should be afraid BUT when are WE THE PEOPLE going to do something about this???

I’m a Veteran and I do not own any firearms. … My beautiful Wife on the other hand is armed to the tooth.
The VA is medical mediocrity. There’s just as many political games as there are inside the beltway, but that’s what you get when the gocernment runs anything. BTW….as a veteran, I wouldn’t allow those hacks to touch me.
