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.”

Hey george, a black guy just called me “cracker” lol
If you read the article you would see that they are placing veterans on that list that have been declared MENTALLY UNSTABLE. You know so they don’t have ptsd,which is a real and serious condition, so that things such as Chris Kyle’s death don’t happen again. It literally can take the most minuscule thing to set these people off and if they happen to be holding a gun, then things such as Sandy hook could happen again. Read the article before you go and get right wing on our Commander in Cheif because you just saw a headline and could take 45 seconds to read the article.
Joseph: wasting your time with facts and logic. These kooks don’t want to know the truth about anything
somebodys alwaystrying to start some c**p

This story is not accurate, stop twisting things just to stir the pot
With all the lies that Obama and his people do and allllllllll the Scandals this would be easy to believe!? And the VA that doesn’t care for the vets i can see this happening!
Illegal,the new America,hope and change at work.
Step #1: “We have to remove the stigma from Veterans seeking psychiatric help for PTSD!”
Step #2: “Now we need to use Psychiatric records to criminalize Veterans!”
